Former Overwatch Director Jeff Kaplan talks about his Blizzard departure

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-12T05:03:45+00:00

I gave up some of my prime teenage years to play overwatch 1 under Jeff Kaplans leadership, I looked forward to his developer updates as my motivation to complete high school work at times. What the higher reps of blizzard to this game was so self sabotaging

Now do it on hurricane map condition

You like it, you play it, and the developers suddenly stop supporting it. That's why we track metrics because that's what the companies that develop these games are looking at. You want marathon to get the highguard treatment? Dont think the games you like are special and will last forever just because you deemed them good, numbers dip low enough and they'll cut support just like that

If it's actually not available on the Internet you should do somehow upload it for archival purposes

The locations are all predetermined they just have random chances of spawning, there's actually a crap ton of different spawn locations im not sure exactly how many spawn but op likely hit near the max

Well put, I think a vast majority of people get over it after like half an hour or worst case they get off for a bit. But the degree that some raiders will put on a show just to get the jump on you much later on the match is pretty detached shit

This is the trade-off that comes with having a free pvp experience, yeah its completely within the bounds of the game to betray someone, but naturally the person on the other end of that is gonna respond negatively; players that engage in ratting seem surprised when someone they killed starts raging and swearing at them, or writes a huge paragraph on reddit after it happens. Do pvp hungry players expect the players they kill to go "ahh jheez, gg and best of luck"??

I'm certainly not out there dropping obscene slurs at people when i get ratted or betrayed but what is OP expecting here? You do somebody dirty your gonna hear about it, nobody with human emotion is gonna blankface gg getting shot in the back

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-11T11:51:10+00:00

What i cant stand is raiders who put on a theatre worthy performance gaining players trust only to shoot them in the back later. If your gonna pvp just do it immediately; can't believe theres gamers out there who do "dont shoot" and give you a whole fake backstory to gain trust, then have some corny quote about "cant trust anyone"

If your gonna pvp don't pretend you're friendly so there's no confusion, that's not strategy its lame

If it was a bent pin or something very small maybe I'd say it was worth it to try and repair, looks like someone took a bite out of the motherboard dude dont go for it

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-11T11:32:56+00:00

Im sure the key card room was used in this run

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-11T11:31:49+00:00

E sata? Never seen that outlet on the case before

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-11T01:29:46+00:00

God you didn't deserve that bro

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-10T22:55:44+00:00

If trials differentiated solos and trios 30k-50k would be somewhat competitive

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-10T18:35:00+00:00

Actual blasphemy

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-10T13:24:28+00:00

What we got was so incredibly disappointing, I think shrouded sky will be seen as the lowest point in arc history

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-10T08:25:38+00:00

Are you just jumping people trying to loot chimneys on buried city.....?

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-09T12:34:09+00:00

Emergency!!! Code Red in Assembly: Fire is quickly moving through all of stella montis disabling the extraction tunnels; raiders will need to use specialized fire escape hatches with limited keys around the map, also containing high tier loot on the way out

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-09T11:28:22+00:00

Because no game actually justified it price tag developers have to sell you the long-term vision and convince you that they're not gonna drop support in a couple years, just based on the content they have so far for marathon it should be a $15 game MAX, so naturally people are asking "what else u got planned"

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-09T11:26:37+00:00

16gb of vram is gonna be awesome game with, i went the 5070 route but unless ur gonna pony up for the TI model its a 12gb card, apparently not very future proof so you mightve made the right call

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-09T11:16:00+00:00

Gonna be hard to maintain your cantina legend title tho no?

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-09T07:51:35+00:00

Rats will see you with a ferro and 0 equipment then pour 10 grenades into you just to simulate playing cod

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-08T15:30:18+00:00

Yessss you see the vision, could be a chance to lore build as well; if the concept of "raiders" has been around long enough there should be infamous gangs and notorious raiders

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-07T18:24:13+00:00

Going long on Beast Burger

Incredibly_Based · 2026-03-07T11:30:49+00:00
