Well, no.
Deep Rock Galactic has fully optional skin packs to make money and they’re doing great.

Warframe has been chugging along for over a decade now and they’re doing great. Beating the pants off of Destiny 2 for average player count.

The live service trick is that live service only works if the company actually cares about the product. Those two companies stand out because they legitimately care and have great communication with their communities.

Fair, I have connections to a few that were fairly serious during 2, most of which were in tournies, one of those never bought 3, but the rest gave it a shot.

The ripoff that is S3 seems to be nails in the proverbial coffin.

They killed Splatoon’s grassroots Esport community thanks to them making a quick buck with splatoon 3, that promised a bunch of network functionality improvements that never materialized.

So now, a game that used to have multiple small but growing international tournaments now has nothing. Hell, they used to have tournaments on the main stage at PAX East.

He was selling shit gear for many times its worth, thats all. Sorry, never played PoE for long and uncertain about poe2.

The company behind POE can do it easily with IP address.

E.G. one of the bits is that the character was online and playing while he was on a high profile call with some German Nazis (sorry “AFD”)

The main ones are that for the rank of the character, he would absolutely have to know the game damn near perfectly.

In the video he put out, its very obvious he doesn’t know a damn thing about it.
• As in just blindly autoattacking, even when he doesnt have mana to attack • Not knowing how the map nodes work, going into a run with a full inventory • Skipping over all drops including a “Chaos Orb”. Only picks up maps. • Claiming how bad his gear based on the equip level alone when its functionally tue best possible gear you can get • The character’s auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where they put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices as a way to move ingame currency around between mules.

Yeah, thats a real concern.

After all, the trials over the Bush administration legalizing Torture went on for so long and went a long way to helping the rest of the world trust the US.
