@ConkyOCE --the whole time I lived in New York I never actually bought an entire pizza lmao, they are huge. Only ever like one or two slices at a time.
special ordered shoes for the vegas ALGS lan that are literally the fanciest shoes I have ever bought in my entire life and they arrived today ๐
not very esport vibe but i figured i should bring at least one outfit that wasn't either boring or logo merch lol
ngl when i said i want to spend money on esports i was thinking like, esports merch sold in women's sizes or a monthly sub to a tourney organizer to get fun behind the scenes content
not, uh, dynamic pricing to buy an org sticker
The sticker update with it's dynamic pricing is as predatory as it is with TicketMaster.
The ethical use of dynamic pricing is to reduce demand in order to preserve supply, not maximizing profits on an infinite supply. Fans are no longer determining the price amongst themselves within a marketplace.
For them to approach their NY lawsuit stating they're no different than any collectible/trading card system, they're sure doing everything they can to change the system being attacked.
I worry that; not dissimilar to how VALVE have altered the Compendium in DOTA 2, that their solution in Counterstrike is at odds with what fans would understand to be reasonable changes.
@ZephyrCasts Esports at its best is amazing but there isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thankful for the security of my day job, especially after having to exit the arts for financial reasons.
Just really hate to see that patten happening all over again.
@GENOMEgg I feel like anecdotally most games have rules on solo q and Apex is actually kind of weird for not.
That said, while I get the point of solo q not really that thrilled it's taking ranked even further away from ALGS/comp style gameplay than it already is.
@Ohshidash It def makes pitching esports to people I know IRL a lot harder. "OMG you should watch this event, it'll be fun! (just ignore the entire feature built around community discussion and oh dear god don't judge me for anything you see there please)"
@Elfishguy@TaffyAU The new strat to save Oce is to make Ben coach all four teams. Any team that doesn't listen and loses their game has to hire him as their new SMM.
@RootsXO My original Myst CD actually got scuffed up and kept crashing during that part rip
The bypass wasn't that hard so I could still beat the game but I never got to play Selenitic properly until I bought the remake
