The mods are have a survey up and are taking it into consideration last i checked. Shit take though

How do you mean adding personal outbursts?

I remember devolver telling aussies it was cool tonpirate but i thought that was the extent of it.

Ive never seen a company have this take. Interesting

Why not just buy the game at that point?? I understand piracy but if you are paying that much for a crack wtf.

No knowledge of dnd needed, from someone who has no knowledge of dnd and having a grand time

My first pc was from a local shop as well and i had a really good experience. I wouldnt do it now that I can and have built my own but id recommend it over a prebuilt.

An all time classic right here

Im a couple hours in now and im enjoying it. I dont know anything about dnd but enjoyed dos2 so i picked it up. Im delightfully surprised so far. Everything is so high quality and detailed. Idk how thatll hold into the later game but so far id recommend

The constant updates and online features were reason enough to not pirate payday 2 tbh. This is no good. Just lost a customer. Sad

The first spider man game. I wont pay more than 20 bucks no matter how good people will say it is.

Sad to see but my wallet will be happy

There is very clearly a message upon install that tells you about the feature and that you can turn it off in the future. Cant be more clear than that. But yes i think most people just consent to every form they see starting up a game because its usually just EULA garbage

I try my hardest to not buy games that require an additional launcher at this point. Such a scummy practice

I dont know nothing about those. 3rd party on the phone that i broadcast to my tv. Simple as.

I try and convince my friends all the time that yt premium is not worth the money and a scam. They dont listen its “just too convenient”. Like using an adblock or 3rd party apps is difficult?

The only bliz games i would consider playing lol

The short of it is really 3 main issues and ill use cod as the example:

First it makes it difficult for friends of different skill levels to play together and have fun. Me and my boys cant play cod together because ill go 30-6 one game where they barely break even and then for the rest of the night theyll go like 6-12 because i popped off too hard. Making it so we play 3 games before they arent having fun cause im just better at the game than them.

Second reason is it ruins any casual experience. Most days, for me a grown adult with a full time job, id like to just hop and play casually in my free time but with sbmm and the constant fluctuation in the system and where it places you can spend many, many games in a row in an absolute sweat fest without any reprieve. The skill level of a playerbase is typically on a bell curve meaning your much more often to face average players without sbmm, because thats where most players fall in the skill range. With sbmm you are waiting for whatever algorithm to have mercy on you and give you an easier lobby. Which can lead to a cycle of getting stomped for a couple games then stomping others for a game, rinse, repeat. Most people would i know would rather just roll the dice than trust some arbitrary system to place them in a lobby that may be fun.

Third issue is its redundent. In most competitive games there is a casual and competitive/rabked mode. If i wanted to play against people guaranteed to be my skill level id play ranked. Refering back to issue one, i dont play ranked with those friends because we vary in skill, casual would be the mode for that situation but due to sbmm being in casual both modes really just seem to be ranked.

Bonus reason: When mw2 came out in 2022 there was talk about using sbmm to manipulate people using the data to keep them winning just enough to keep playing but not enough to ruin others experience. Sounds great to some but to me thats not what competitive games are about. And i definitely dont need some studio dictating how much fun i have in a game, telling me essentially when i get to win.

Couldnt be me. The price of that beer could feed me for a week.

The sims 2 on the ps2 was the first sims i played way back when and i loved it. It wasnt till way after (2016) I played sims 3 on pc and realized that sims 2 was not a standard sims experience
