When MMOs began, 30 or so years ago, the world was a different place. Most people still built and maintained 90%+ of their social connections in person.
Today that just isn’t the case.
People joining and playing WoW aren’t doing so as a lone wolf or a group of 3-4 high school buddies. Every person has a vast web of online social connections before they come into the game.
Additionally, the reality of mega servers is that they destroy the desert island effect that forces social interactions through both necessity and familiarity.
One of the few things New World got right at launch was the servers. Set up to force connection and interaction.
You aren’t their friend and they don’t need you to be. It’s really that simple.
WoW Forever has a MASSIVE antisocial player problem, and it's honestly starting to piss me off.
What the hell happened to the social aspect of World of Warcraft?
Every single time I group up with someone to complete a quest, it's the EXACT same experience.
We group up, kill three mobs, loot the quest objective, and the SECOND that final mob dies, they immediately leave the group.
No goodbye. No thank you. No conversation. NOTHING.
The worst part? WE STILL HAVE MORE QUESTS TO DO IN THE SAME AREA.
There will literally be another follow-up quest in the EXACT SAME CAVE, and these people would rather immediately disband the group than spend another five minutes questing together.
I've had people abandon me DEEP INSIDE CAVES, surrounded by respawning mobs, because they finished their objective and apparently couldn't be bothered to help me get back outside.
You can't even say goodbye before they're gone.
What happened to making friends? What happened to helping other players? What happened to meeting someone while leveling and spending the next two hours questing together?
We're playing a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE ROLE-PLAYING GAME, and people are treating every other player like a disposable NPC they can summon whenever they need help killing three mobs.
At this point, I don't think layering is the biggest threat to the social experience of WoW Forever.
It's the players themselves.
Am I seriously the only person experiencing this?
And then one day they proved just how damaging social media and dating apps are for human coupling, and nobody seemed to notice at all.
Steve, a tiny dibbler at Perth Zoo, reportedly helped save his endangered species without ever becoming a father. Female dibblers prefer larger mates, and Steve was too small and apparently didn't smell appealing. Keepers used him as the first male females encountered during breeding trials. After meeting Steve, females found the next males more attractive and were more willing to mate. According to the zoo, Steve lived a long life as an unlikely conservation hero.

It’s the typical modern anime dub that people hate. That breathy cringe shit has to go.

Am I the only one who can tell that he’s telling a joke here?
It’s sarcastic. In terms of “policy outcomes” at the time none of them had ever passed anything.
Is everyone fucking dumb?

Sony reports that Ghost Of Yote sold 3.3 million copies, not 5.5 million, as reported by insiders.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This graph shows 3.3m sales for Ghost of Yotei within the first month. The 5.5m number comes from Alinea Analytics, and covers the first year of sales. These 2 pieces of information are not contradictory, as OP suggests.

The saddest part of opening this app is making eye contact with a legendary post for half a second right before the timeline refreshes and buries it forever.
Just gone.

Thank you for helping to demoralize and destroy the most right wing faction in recent US history.
Thank you for bringing in the leftist hordes and for rejuvenating the moderate neocons.
I hope the superchats were worth it

If you make this game gay it will be the end of your studio.
Don’t do it. Resist the urge.

If this current trend continues, I predict every single game will just be made with Debra Wilson.

Every time someone repeats the stupid talking point “transgender issues only affect a tiny minority of people” they sound like an idiot.

You are truly pathetic.
Codes were given to a popular creator. YOUR COMMUNITY began a witch hunt.
YOUR COMMUNITY began brigading
Not to mention, no one can actually supply anything burntpeanut has said or done outside of calling an NPC a fag like 2+ years ago.
Are you going to start canceling current creators with similar discrepancies?
You made a M-rated game where the players are massacred. Now you're fkn groveling to a cult who will never actually accept any amount of an apology because they now hold complete power over you.

I am once again here to explain that a small team of shared Unreal resources and a Matrix demo may be up to $30m of a $500m cost, but in no way actually adds up to that. The bulk of that cost is very clearly game dev, despite people attempting to spin it otherwise.
PlayStation fan Jason Schreier says that Gears of War: E-Day cost $500 million to make. What makes much more sense is that 500 million is what was spent on Studio operations/projects and staff over the last 7 years.

▪️Engine work and support for other teams via ATG.
▪️Salary for the 300 or so devs and, of course, E-Day.
