  • Toxicity is one thing for sure but I don’t like how the commercialization of MP has shaped it.

    Indie games have a very different feel in their online gameplay compared to “commercial” games.

    Even way back, HL1 online and those online experiences felt so different because it was designed to be about the group experience rather than level up and get a skin, buy a weapon, our skill tree is massive. Sure technology was holding it back but I wish I could see what it would’ve been without the massive push for $$$.













  • All of those things are 100% legitimate criticisms, I want to add that the UX experience has become more and more horrible. They’ve regressed terribly in most aspects of their apps, wether PC or Mobile. Absolutely unbelievable, this is the thing I see from Google search where marketing takes over from engineering/customer needs/market reality/I don’t know what. Stop shoving shit into the services. You beat piracy for a minute, you can keep that lead, you’re slowly losing it.

    Honestly, if this was any other product this would be unacceptable. It’d be like all books went back to only black and white, all movies were only 480p, all music was only mono.
