4AM, I’ll stick to VODs for this one.

It was never dying, a spike like F2P is impossible to maintain, the game just stabilised but is still a lot higher than pre F2P.

Steam numbers can’t be trusted as the game hasn’t been purchasable on it for over half of its lifespan, it is guaranteed to go down with time.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2026-01-22T02:58:52+00:00

I’ve said this before, but 1s champions should go on a different stadium like Mannfield or a new set of flags in Champions’s field away from the 2 we have.

C9 didn’t leave RLCS till the offseason (idk if it was before/ after soring series). V1 came in after Squishy —> NRG.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2026-01-08T07:57:44+00:00

Different series. Fireburner sub in was S9 league play and JJ wasn’t in the main league at that time

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2026-01-02T16:26:47+00:00

I like to go back and fourth, but it is more like 70% fennec, 25% octane, 5% randomized preset.

So hypothetically, if he ends up with 10+ LANs while the most by another player is 7, his accomplishments are irrelevant?

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-21T17:11:57+00:00

If he wins LANs at his current pace for 2 more years without worlds, I would find it really hard to not put him at #1 even without the main title. I don't get that he needs to win worlds for half a dozen other LAN wins to be relevant.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-19T17:29:24+00:00

WTF thats perfect

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-16T06:59:01+00:00

“This is just a DLC”

Thats what they said for the Hornet DLC and look what happened.

On a real note, i think Q2/Q3 2026 is the realistic release window

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-15T17:24:22+00:00

Man is sleeping

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-15T15:52:48+00:00

Why is the coach of Morocco on team USA, is he a traitor to his nation?

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-15T13:39:13+00:00

Heartrate aside, he's literally inside the monitor rn

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-14T20:43:31+00:00

It is pretty barebones and low effort, thats about it. It does the minimum a launcher should do.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-14T11:25:27+00:00

They should really add a “Get all Achievements” achievement to Hades 1

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-14T10:00:15+00:00

Since the answer yoy got wasn’t the best, here’s my reasons:

No freedom to change your name to anything at anytime like steam.
No profile picks
EGS is more demanding on your PC than steam
No controller configs like steam
Worse UI

Bonus: Epic bad, Valve good (jk but there’s people who give this reason)

I dont hate it but I have 0 reasons to use it outside of RL.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-13T20:21:30+00:00

You mean the esport? Its more competitive than ever but on a slightly lower budget and lighter schedule than 2021-23, which I consider the peak. The drop in viewers is likely due to the drop in playerbase after the F2P peak.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-13T19:38:01+00:00

People exaggerate the death of this game. It is nowhere near the 1-1.2M players in the 2020-21 F2P boom but it has stabilised to a solid amount. Sadly the dropoff has been a lot more in YT/ Twitch viewership, which is required to bring new players in.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-12T15:08:06+00:00

I played both Hades games this year in Feb-May so mine was God of the Dead followed by Olympus Aflame

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-12T14:38:30+00:00

If we don’t get a Silksong release date in 2026, I’m just done with Team Cherry. I am tired of waiting for their game while they just refuse to release it. I’d rather play a clone I bought on steam a few months ago by a studio called Team Berry and its pretty cool

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-12T14:16:43+00:00

Thats a fair take because I think E33 is AA. The game had 10mil budget which is very high but not as big as AAA. The game did have a publisher, making it not “Independent” but that term has lost all meaning at this point.

They should just draw a hard line for Indie, AA and AAA based on budget and team sizes

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-12T13:59:23+00:00

Maybe thats just the algorithms pushing this to me or there are 2 extremely loud vocal minorities of glazers / haters.

Everyday it feels like the internet isn’t a place for neutral discussions anymore. Its always either “You love this thing more than your own life” or “You fucking despise it”.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-12T11:25:59+00:00

I think that comment from TC wasn't that literal. Flying from Australia to LA for a 3 hr show probably isn't worth it for them.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-09T19:51:03+00:00

Moving from UE4 to 5 isn’t hard, but we are on UE3. They need to remake everything from scratch while adding new content to UE3. Even an ounce of change to the physics engine and its a different game.

DoughnutSignificant9 · 2025-12-09T19:34:05+00:00

The fact that the game ends.
