I know this is quite the yap and alot of autobiography. If you actually read all the way through you have my gratitude. I wrote this mostly for myself but figured there might be someone out there who'd get something out of it too. Love you guys <3
The only thing to learn from the Pat article is that social media discourse will always forget even the most basic facts about who you are and what you’ve done for the sake of a quick dunk
Bunch of people born yesterday saying Pat didn’t care
Absolutely irresponsible posts
Pat has spent year after year after year hosting beloved events with a focus on community and inclusivity WHILE working on fighting games as a job
Please be more thoughtful
I think people are missing a fundamental aspect of 2xko being f2p is that no one actually owns a copy of the game. They're definetly not going to keep the download page up on PSN and when that happens, how do you get new people to play or host brackets?
This was my favorite tournament moment, game was early and i still had alot of nerves playing on the big stage, but I can still look back on moments like these and know that i could play with the best when i showed up ^^
In light of 2xko, I know as a community we get on each other's asses about rulesets, controllers, whatever, but it's nice to remember that ultimately we've been able to love and play the same game for 25 years with no dev support and have a number of people make a career out of it, and that's pretty damn sick
Blessed to play this game
@draggles always meant alot to feel our voices heard and know that our accomplishments were being acknowledged, thank you for facilitating that connection <3
