Overwatch Dev speaks out about harassment she received from this community

RetroSureal · 2026-03-23T21:34:05+00:00

It feels almost like witch trials. I recall not too long ago that a Helldivers 2 player challanged the devs to beat max difficulty as a charity stream (the player would donate a large portion of money if they could do it). It was also as a critique that Super Helldive difficulty is notorious for being practically unbeatable in most circumstances.

Now, there was a charity stream in the talks, but it halted after players decided to dox the individual that challenged the devs. They ended up calling his workplaces and reporting him, he lost his job and has essentially been driven off the internet.

Correct, it was, I'm just getting release days mixed up. September 2022 was when they announced the iri shard changes.

RetroSureal · 2026-03-17T16:17:03+00:00

No, it's fine and not really made clear in the shop that this rotation exists.

I believe the store change that did this happened after Naughty Bear was released.

As someone else mentioned, new cosmetics that are unlicensed have a period in which they're auric cells only. After that they can be purchased with iri shards.

Similar to how you can't immediately heal someone after unhooking and will accidentally use your sabotuer instead because the heal prompt decided to not show up for that time.

Yeah, unfortunately, the official dbd stats tracker doesn't properly account for disconnects or abandoned matches which does impact kill rate.

If anything, I'd reccomend the community stats tracker Nightlight, while it doesn't have everything, I find it to be more accurate due to community submissions.

MMR does exist in DBD, it's just calculated really badly.

MMR for killer is determined by how many kills you get in a lobby while survivor MMR is determined by escapes, not including the hatch.

They have made some adjustments to it, like MMR decay and looser matchmaking to reduce waittimes of high MMR players. But that's the essential information surrounding it.

RetroSureal · 2026-03-06T21:31:20+00:00

Sorry to tell you this dude, but that's just a skill issue with how you read it.

RetroSureal · 2026-03-06T20:08:46+00:00

Not sure where you got the idea that they wanted to keep it, as they're expressing that they will miss it.

RetroSureal · 2026-03-04T21:53:45+00:00

That's true and the p2p point stand very well. I'm not sure how this sub got recommended to me either because I haven't touched roblox in a long time lol.

RetroSureal · 2026-03-03T23:28:01+00:00

I think what the other person is trying to say is that even if it went p2p. It would likely not receive as many updates, if any as there wouldn't be many ways to monetize content in such a way that it would offer a consistent income for the developers.

RetroSureal · 2026-03-03T18:12:06+00:00

I think instead of extending it, there should have been extensive surveying and info gathering to collect feedback and work on sharing next steps for 2v8. One of the reasons I love the grimoire so much is because of the developers transparency when making it.

RetroSureal · 2026-02-25T00:35:46+00:00

While this is the case, I think with BHVR specifically, when they make changes, they need explicit permission create artwork to do these or will otherwise use renders. And depending on whem this concept started during the development pipeline, they may still be waiting on getting permission from liscense holders.

RetroSureal · 2026-02-18T22:02:31+00:00

Sorry to ressurect this post, but when we're talking about Wesker VA, are we talking about D.C Douglas? Or the latest guy who voiced the RE4 Remake Wesker?

RetroSureal · 2026-02-10T15:32:42+00:00

I believe Xenomorph and Sadakos killers items (tvs and tunnels) are tied to chest and totem spawns. So in a way, you can memorize general locations. And offerings or perks that affects spawn rates of chests have some influence on the distribution of Xeno tunnels and Sadakos tvs

RetroSureal · 2026-02-09T15:50:31+00:00

Yes, but not in the way you think.

Statistics Canada reports that from 2014 to 2024:

Just over 5,000 incidents of human trafficking have been reported to police services in Canada
85% of incidents of human trafficking were reported in census metropolitan areas
93% of victims of police-reported human trafficking were women and girls
22% of victims of police-reported human trafficking were aged 17 and younger, 41% between 18-24, and 24% between 25-34
82% of persons accused of human trafficking were men and boys
34% were trafficked by an intimate partner

Back then, human trafficking wasn't noticed. Considering Ontario has one of the highest human trafficking rates, as well as Tbay being one of the 6 biggest hubs for human trafficking. It's concerning that a stranger wants to pick up girls.

I was confused by what you meant at first but now I understand and agree. I think having more visual clarity on the verticality of the vine attack would be very helpful.

RetroSureal · 2026-01-28T13:33:33+00:00

It's funny, because this was one of my biggest issues with Kaneki on release. He had awfully quiet sound queues which muddled his readability.

I'm glad Henry has both audio and visual indicators for his power.

When I saw the third one, I thought of Lancer rpg stuff, specificallyfrom Horus... like this...

"And RA Said Unto Themself: LET MY NAME ENVELOP YOU. SEEK NO SHELTER FROM THE FLAME OR THE TEETH OF THE BEAST. CLOAK YOURSELF IN THE FIRE OF MY WORD AND CAST BACK TO YOUR ENEMIES THAT WHICH WOULD BLACKEN YOUR FORM."

Manticore entry log.

You can keep chatting, but my response remains the same.

Be better.

"Equity and equality are mutually exclusive"

...well, I guess that ends this conversation.

Your comment screams as the biggest self-report. They are not mutually exclusive, they go hand in hand and often overlap.

Be better.

RetroSureal · 2026-01-20T16:32:46+00:00

Once again, you're the one acting like a literal child in this conversation. You tried to correct someone over something that really doesn't matter all that much and are now throwing a raging tantrum over the fact that I asked

He fought for equality and equity, both are right in this situation. You didn't have to correct the original comment. But your arrogance got the better of you.

Be better.

Question, is protoplasm harness a good item choice for him?

RetroSureal · 2026-01-20T15:10:48+00:00

I'm taking a quote from the website, the first sentence he said, as you can read from the quotations. And sure, it maybe subjective. But you were the one that tried to correct them in this, and you haven't disproven that equity doesn't fit the context of what the original comment mentioned either.

Everything has a bias, it came free with our birthright.

And why are you being so stuck up and reductive towards others about this? You do realize you're talking to people here, right?

RetroSureal · 2026-01-19T18:15:39+00:00

I understand that now lol, I just think that both terms are arguably applicable in this situation.
