Modern MMOs forgot downtime is a feature. Everything is a hyper-optimized lobby disguised as an RPG. We built communities around virtual campfires. Now if you are not grinding tokens constantly you are playing wrong.
AAA gaming is dying under bloated budgets and greed. The suits forgot how to make games. Double-A and indies carry the industry by building actual mechanics instead of engagement traps. The real games are downstairs.
Im trying to figure out the target audience for a grand Steam Machine. You get worse specs than a custom PC for the same price. Maybe people just want plug and play. #PCGaming
I was curious if Nexon could deliver a solid dark fantasy MMORPG with Embers of the Uncrowned. The demo answered that fast. We're looking at heavy monetization and clunky gameplay. https://t.co/Uow8cQSLMS
Extraction shooters are dying because devs copy the same loop without fixing the core issue. High stakes inventory loss scares off casuals leaving lobbies dead. #ExtractionShooter
So WoW is adding Discord chat. Why is this not standard in every MMO? Anyone remember using MSN messenger inside Lineage 2? That was fun. They were way ahead of their time. #MMORPG
What is the best MMO mount system? For me it is ArcheAge. Mounts were part of the world, not just traversal tools. Raising that baby elk made it feel like a real companion. What is your favorite? #MMORPG
ArenaNet says GW3 won't be P2W. But if the entire endgame loop is horizontal progression and playing dress-up then is buying cosmetics with real money winning? Just asking... #GW3
I dropped four hours into the SpiritVale demo. It feels a lot like classic Ragnarok Online. Mobs hit hard and there is zero hand holding. If you miss the old school grind you gotta see this. #SpiritVale

My inbox is starting to look like the Steam new releases tab. Five different pitches before I even had coffee. Gonna take a while to see if any of these are worth the hard drive space. #gaming
NCsoft is actually trying to save Aion 2 before the Western launch. The Korean version was dead on arrival with its monetization. Moving to a single subscription and equalizing PvP is a massive shift. Might actually be worth playing now. #aion2
Empulse looks interesting and I always fall for movement shooters. But after the Splitgate stuff it is going to be a tough sell. At least I can check it out for free tomorrow. #Empulse
Wild Terra 2 is free again on Steam. Guess my old video is relevant again for anyone thinking about downloading it. Check the gameplay breakdown before you commit. https://t.co/ZlEx1WWgtV

No stamina gates and no gacha pulls. DragonSword Awakening is looking like a proper premium action game. Full demo playthrough's up now https://t.co/hElEMvYfXt #DragonSword
Poncle making a JJK battle royale is not what I had on my bingo card. Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble Survivaton looks like chaotic fun. Sign me up. #VampireSurvivors
@ArcheAgeChron Looks like every gacha game combat I've played in the past 5 years. When are we getting some true action combat games again? TERA, Dragon Nest. Come on.
