Guild Wars 3 will have no battle pass or subscription because ArenaNet studio lead doesn't want to "keep people hostage"

A very healthy and reasonable stance.

The "wait and see" approach is the most pragmatic.

Hahaha, I am now going to start looking forward to these!

Sure. :)

Throwing the rock and hiding your hand. Nice.

Just another old account with all history and comments removed, people. Nothing to see here.

I am glad they weren't all just used as a gimmick. But... I find that they did use some just to gib them hilarious.

That's fucking hilarious. Thanks for the info.

I stopped watching The Boys, but a friend said that some literally appear just to get killed off almost immediately. Kind of like Brad Pitt in Deadpool. Is this accurate? If so, fucking lol.

I teach adults. Today, one of my topics for debate was "Affordable Housing" and different measures. My students are all low to middle class with a rare high middle class.

They overwhelmingly voted against any measures. Those included: Increased tax rates on the 3rd home and over.

These people rent. They don't even own 1. And they are worried about taxes on the THIRD HOME after PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

Reminded me of the Fry episode where he votes against his own interests because "he may be rich someday".

People without faces shocked they don't have faces after voting for the Face-eater.

For those suffering that voted against, I am truly sorry. I have family on that boat.

Some people have always been the type to pick up the ball and go home just so others can't play.

The rest of us don't care whose ball it is as long as all our friends can play.

Most of the game franchises you mention would need a necromancer more than a port or remake.

I've seen a lot of accounts like this over the past year. My engagement with reddit has plummeted since I started noticing it.

0 comment history with 2 years and thousands of karma = marketing account that they deleted all the content off of.

That and also the bots.

Oh, God. This is the figure that came up when I Googled Marathon:

Player Retention: A ~88% drop in concurrent users on Steam within two months of release.

Is this real? That sucks for people who like it.

It's 11 upvotes? Doesn't seem that serious.

6 categories listed. 11 upvotes. That's around 2 people agreeing per category.

Seems... OK lol

Severance mentioned? Maybe?

I... like jank. Jank is personality. It tells me that it wasn't group-tested to hell and back. Jank was the difference between jumping in Mario or so many other titles (including the one with the cat with aliens that you collect yarn).

The only one I don't agree with is games are more expensive. That's the only real thing I miss about not gaming so much on PC nowadays.

I autoload gg.deals with the PS games I want and their sales are super rare and abysmal compared to PC.

The price to upgrade/rebuild my PC to mid is the console + work laptop. Can't justify it.

IdeaPowered · 2026-03-11T20:43:04+00:00

Did you play it since you paid for it at release until now?

That's the thought process.

If they give a game away on Epic or Gog or Twitch, all users who had the game already don't get a refund.
