@PaulTassi Their monetization isn't egregious. Major content updates are 100% free, so is their quarterly battle pass. The premium currency can be earned in game via trading. The only thing most consider a necessary cash shop purchase is extra warframe and weapon slots.
@AngryCops 1. Energy consumption is astronomical. Cost is almost entirely being passed off onto the community.
2. Water consumption & pollution. Cooling these horribly inefficient systems uses a ton of water & byproduct being dumped right back into the community's water supply.
@TheFizzyMind@TxStarWarsNerd@Pirat_Nation People living in rural areas are so often overlooked on topics like these. Yes, you can get internet out in the sticks, but it's typically really crappy satellite internet if you don't live within city limits. Most folks just use their phones.
@MylesGorham85 It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Alan Page would allow his number to be unretired like Warren Moon did for Cam Ward, if Banks asked.
Doubt he'd ask. Gimme 93 or 98 for the big man.
@ShaneHelmsCom Noah sounds like the type of gamer that pisses and moans on forums about the game being confusing because he button mashed through all the dialogue and tutorials.
@SamMonsonNFL How generous of the NFL to cut the timer to 8 minutes so we could spent the same amount of time as last year, but get less draft and more commercials!
@jones_creighton@JoshNorris No it didn't. The runtime was still exactly the same as previous years. All it did was cut the amount of NFL Draft we actually got to watch and replaced it with even more commercials.
@JoshNorris Sure had plenty of time to show me the same 3 commercials from Verizon, Allstate and USAA back to back to back every 3 picks on NFL+
Shortened the broadcast but the run time stayed the same because even more freaking commercials.
@WillRagatz I would have preferred Peter Woods or Kayden McDonald, but I can see the vision given Banks' athleticism and upside. Given what we've seen from Redmond and LDR, we don't need to be in a hurry with Banks either. Though, the sooner he's 100% and able to contribute, the better.
'Overwatch' director Jeff Kaplan on what broke him and made him leave Blizzard:
• Blizzard began focusing too much on 'let's make lots of money really fast' and set hefty revenue goals
• He says he was told if the game didn’t hit the benchmarks, 'we're gonna lay off 1,000 people and that's gonna be on you'
"It was the biggest 'fuck you' moment I've had in my career ... I believed I would never work anywhere besides Blizzard ... and I was like 'we're done here'"
"I wish developers would understand their own value more and stop handing the golden goose to people who don't deserve it"

@DomClare Not only that but like, only a fool would go into the next season banking on JJ alone. The idea of signing Kyler is to bring in genuine competition on a dirt cheap contract. If JJ wins QB1, hell yeah we have a cheap backup, if Kyler wins QB1, hell yeah cheap starter!
