PSA: don’t be a weirdo.
Be weird, but not a weirdo.
Last night I played ARC Raiders with a woman and we both got downed by a Rocketeer while taking photos. A random raider showed up, and when my duo asked if they had a defib that raider said “yes” followed by a series of things like, “you have a beautiful voice” and “do you have a boyfriend?”. He was audibly disappointed to hear her honest answer of having a husband.
As if that behaviour in a video game isn’t scummy enough, upon hearing an answer he didn’t like, he decided he no longer had a defib for her and left assuming she would succumb to time.
Except she didn’t. She had the survivor augment - as did I while hiding in the tunnel to avoid being seen by Mr. A/S/L - and we both slow crawled ourselves to a safe extract.
I know this is a video game and that one person’s weird is another person’s weirdo, but don’t behave like the guy above.
ARC Raiders hit like absolute crack for the first 3 months.
Then followed it up with some of the most mediocre post launch support I’ve ever seen.
They had the gaming world by the balls and just…didn’t do anything with it.
