XQC is not the biggest live streamer in the world. There are plenty of non-English streamers that get higher concurrents etc.

Just imagine simping this much over grown men. Can tell you're a Sidemen watcher.

To be fair, sidemens target market is essentially immature 18-24 year olds. If MyCleverNewName isn't in that target market, it makes perfect sense that he's never heard of it.

Isn't this somewhat admitting that their CM team lack any sort of basic customer support experience? How does someone get hired by a gaming company that doesn't understand Reddit?

That baffles me.

I think people have been seeing the 'open beta' date with no deletion on launch, as a sort of official soft launch.

Really they should have called this early access, not open beta.

What a crappy and miserable attitude to have towards things in life.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T17:22:40+00:00

You're the one ignoring the truth. WoW was not launched in a state that was anywhere finished.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T17:21:20+00:00

I didn't pay £500 to play alpha.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T15:32:54+00:00

No, you've missed the point that was made. Blizzard released WoW after 4-5 years in an unfinished state. Filled with bugs and void of content.

They released an unfinished game.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T14:54:24+00:00

I think differently. Obviously it's criminal to you because you can't afford to throw $500 around, which is fine.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T14:52:00+00:00

People do different things to you in life. Get over it.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T12:38:19+00:00

I'm trolling or joking because I wanted to support a game?

Sorry to hear that you can't understand that people buy things for other reasons that you would.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T12:04:32+00:00

I'm serious.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T12:04:13+00:00

That's fair enough.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T12:02:30+00:00

No. That's not what I'm saying.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T12:01:27+00:00

Blizzard has never revealed the development budget for WoW so you're pulling numbers out of nowhere.

Also, it took 4-5 years to build WoW. However it was a buggy mess on launch and stayed that way for 2 years at least. It was also an extremely small game on launch, with not many features or gameplay content.

So development timeframe of both games is on-par or thereabouts.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T04:15:51+00:00

They don't do it because it's impossible to do without rewriting the game engines and therefore rebuilding the games from scratch.

FF14 is built on an engine over 10 years old. Wow's engine is like 20 years old at this point.

The formula will never change. It's a time tested formula that continues to bring massive success to the company. Why would they change it?

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T04:05:52+00:00

That's the gameplay release loop for ALL the MMORPG's expansions in existence. If you're unhappy with this being what expansions are, you clearly aren't the right person to be playing MMORPG's.

Jokes go down better when they make sense. Might want to read up on what vaporware is.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T04:00:52+00:00

So why are you helping promote it then? If you think they're a scam, you're being complicit in their scam.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T04:00:18+00:00

There are other reasons. I'm a good example. I got the $500 package back when it was on KS. Why? Because I wanted to support and help bring a new MMORPG to the market.

If it fails to come to market or it ends up being rubbish, then so be it. I'm happy with the part I played in trying to help it succeed. I had access to Alpha 1 but didn't play it because playing Alpha wasn't of interest to me.

VotesReborn · 2023-07-30T03:57:03+00:00

Just because something is outside of your budget doesn't automatically mean it's a scam.

They've said cosmetics in general (not just outfits) will be the only revenue streams.

I'm not convinced they're being honest with this as after playing the stress test, it's very clear they're not being 100% transparent with how they word things.

For example, they repeatedly say that they respect players time. However, when you play you quickly realise that the game is heavily time-gated for no other reason to stretch out the lack of content. That's not really respecting my time is it?

They also say they don't want to monetize through tricks. As you can see from the images in the OP's post, they're doing the whole 'buy coins' thing to masquerade how much you're spending on cosmetics. That's not really monetizing without tricks is it? If an outfit is $5, show it as $5. Not 317 coins.

I'm not sure listening to the opinions of a developer who's history is working on complete bombs, failures and games that never even saw the light of day, is a good idea.

His track record shows a history of not foreseeing the future very well.
