Making a console exclusive on their worst selling console ever was probably not helping.

Back in mar-may it was. Then it was getting 300k users daily with 450k peak players. Now it gets under 30k daily users and ranked 45 on daily players according to steamdb

Sony did a good job of killing PC players tolerance of their bullshit with the helldiver controversy.

Sounds like by his own grading scale he is a dismal failure not worth what his title gets paid.

Blizzard today is not the company we knew 15 years ago. They have been so thoroughly corrupted by the corporate ownership they can’t possibly understand what their core audience wants or needs to stay engaged.

Like we needed further proof how far off American ideals the far right is.

Id probably pay good money to watch my rookie college student to hit on a viper and fail miserably, panic and then one shot KO her muton boyfriend before running away.

My friends definitely did. Granted, we had varying taste in music so there was always a little bit of something for everyone. If we only played it single player we might only have bought a quarter or less of everything.

Sims on the other hand, a lot of expansion packs are features from prior games cut up into small chunks and given new animations then sold for ridiculous amounts of money. After sims 3 I promised myself to never buy another sims game knowing damn well it would just be a constant drain on my wallet if I ever wanted to stay current or enjoy anything close to a complete experience. You certainly can enjoy just the vanilla base game, but everyone who ever played this series before knows you most of the expansion packs if you want to play as intended and experience the good stuff.

Makes the children screaming we are taking their toy away seem even more oblivious when the billion dollar corporation gives absolutely zero shits about losing the business.

Someone explain to this guy how long 12 hours actually is.

China absolutely doesn’t want the US talking about Taiwan or the island of Taipei at all. They want the West to forget it exists entirely so they can “reunify” with it the same way they squashed out Democracy Riots in Hong Kong once the west got bored and stopped paying attention.

Each country has the right to say if businesses or entities of a foreign country can operate in their borders. The US Govt is rarely directly involved with operationing a company or business, with the biggest exception being the US Postal Service. So while they might make rules and regulations for how companies can do business, these businesses are privately owned, what information they gather on clients or users is for commercial use, typically for advertising purposes.

With Chinese companies, this is not the case, even companies that are technically privately owned are heavily managed by the CCP if not directly operated or owned by an official member of the govt. So while in the US if a company like Instagram or Twitter was told by the US govt to hand over information about certain individuals, without a warrent clearly defining what data to hand over and the reason for it, those companies can and in the past repeatedly have used legal means to resist and deny those demands. This isn’t a thing n China, and there is a lot of rumors that all the data these Chinese originating platforms collect by default goes to the Chinese govt, who can use it for anything from espionage, using insider information gathered illegally to manipulate markets or officials, to even things like blackmail or planning military actions in extreme cases. The CCP and all their associated companies have repeatedly shown in the past they don’t care about the rights of citizens in other countries, copyright laws or intellectual rights, and would be more than happy to turn every teenagers smart phone into a listening device into peoples homes and tailor content shown to individuals they identified as someone they can manipulate to radicalize them in a manner that suits them without any regard to that persons wellbeing.

If you think the US Government is untrustworthy (which, yeah it’s not) then you should be absolutely horrified at the thought of ever allowing the Chinese Govt and the CCP having access to any of your personal life or allowed to put software on your device and partake in a social network they curate and moderate.

“Underpowered” = Why can’t I attack this clearly heavily armored enemy with a small calibre weapon and killed them instantly?

Anyone who thinks darksouls is hard and takes skill never played Helldivers.

Breaker nerd is non-existent, it just has more recoil and slightly less ammo that you’re barely going to notice if you use it as intended. You just can’t spray a group of enemies at 40m and expect headshots on all of them anymore, but closer than about 20m it’s stupidly lethal still.

Everyone knew railgun was getting nerfed. How in the world do you justify a weapon more viable than equipment that needs two people to peak perform or calldowns with literal minutes between uses?

People are mad cause they thought they were good at the game playing on the highest difficulties and taking down elite enemies without a scratch, only to be informed no, they weren’t as good as they thought and were just exploiting a severely unbalanced item that sidestepped the intended difficulties of dealinf with those enemies.

Congrats on being part of the problem.

If you were only in high levels of play because of the viability of the items nerfed, you never should have been at that level to begin with. Railgun was zero risk all the rewards and could kill elites at twice the distance a stratagem can be thrown with armor enhancing their throw distance. From the front, through their armor. This is obviously not intended or we’d be able to toss stragems 100m and things like the AMR and AC would also have pierced these armor parts. We can’t, they don’t, and if you can’t play at the same difficulty level you were at prenerf then you are exactly the people the nerf was targetted at. Helldiver is supposed to be the best of the best and being able to kill everything you see is clearly not the intention, players are supposed to pick their battles carefully and conserve ammo for when they need it. Railgun sidestepped both of those being twice as ammo efficient than the recoiless, not even needing a backpack or teamreload to work, and just encouraged lonewolf play that a coop game absolutely should not encourage letting a single player elminate elite enemies on the highest difficulty with two easy to aim shots.
