@EASFCDirect What about those who held off because they saw there was a problem and now the pack is gone? Are you bringing it back?

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@nohashtagunited @chopsueyfc I dont believe the other comments saying yes so would also appreciate a confirmation @chopsueyfc

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@FutSheriff So this is basically what they had on the token store and they've removed it, realised it was too good and now re-skinned it on the store for coins to make more money. Dirty trickery @EASPORTSFC

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@talkSPORT @Chelsearory either selling out for engagement (sadder than wearing a football shirt) or a joyless judgemental grumpy husk of a man (also sadder than wearing a football shirt). 'Just banter, mate' would be fine if it wasn't all @talkSPORT ever go viral for. It's a hate machine.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

Football shirts 'Guaranteed for the world cup' but free personalisation has '7-10 days' burried in the small print. Email says 'Latest Estimated 9th June' how can it be latest *and* estimated? Ambiguous wording. Tracker says 'ready to ship' for days, no updates. Weird experience.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

.@SportsDirectUK customer service. Social media channels are dead, the third-party chat actually cut me off after exposing that they have no access to actual tracking info, and then the support emails are Chat GPT so can't rely on sincerity. Feels like a fake scam experience.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

This one post showcases how trigger happy the @EASPORTSFC community is with wanting to express outrage. Many of the replies just people engagement farming with anger having clearly not read the post. It's play 1 game, not re-do the entire card. Are you guys that dumb?

We’ve refreshed the Journey of Nations Completionist Group to resolve an issue with incorrect progression.
Players who previously completed the Hugo Sánchez Objective will need to complete it again.

@Piquelme21 Sad how widespread engagement farming with hate banter has become. Banter between mates is fine but all I ever see of football in social media is marketing hate for engagement. It's like the male version of the Mean Girls movie. Just fake people being mean as a personality.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@WeaverFUT Have you confirmed if this actually works? Usually evo variants are locked out

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Target @AskTarget Some replies you're getting are insane @AskTarget's even more so. Clearly some people just have never had a hobby or just don't get it, and if they don't, why are they wading into the conversation throwing muck at you? Crazy. The packaging is part of the polish. Nerds understand.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

The divide on Crimson Desert comes down to whether you think discovery/figuring stuff out is a burden or a blessing. Crazy to think many people have given up because it doesn't hold your hand. Fast becoming my all time best game but you have to enjoy MMO type stuff to love it.

[KOFI @GoodGameKofi]

It’s been 2 month. Y’all ready to tell the truth about crimson desert? Which brave soul going to admit they dropped that mid 😌

[Ben @WorbleGames]

One last #007firstlight thing! Given Mafia Old Country & Resident Evil Requiem were solid yet still went radio silent on social media within a few weeks, how do you keep people talking about a 'short' game? @007GameIOI is crying out for a Metal Gear Online type mode from MGS4.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

As a lifelong Bond fan I feel pretty equipped to review 007 First Light @007GameIOI. Legitimately one of the best stories of any Bond, modern narrative (AI story) without being too cheesey. Amazing visuals but pretty standard average mechanics. Narrative big yes, gameplay is okay

[Ben @WorbleGames]

Also i'll say right now if it gets in GOTY conversations then Amazon definitely paid people off to get these good reviews. As great as the story is, that alone does not make an award winning game. If you're a Bond fan you'll love it regardless. I did, for the story. But that's it

Been a long long time, @Arsenal! Champions again, finally!

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

@GarlandssALT @FutSheriff Partly just the way things go, it has to reach a breaking point being imbalanced where they see a threshold of x% relying on bruiser. Partly a happy side effect that it causes people to change their teams once they patch it which raises engagement

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@RhodesKotaEra Problem is it's been a majority insulting pile on which is bad and it's invalidating what should be a pretty interesting and valid topic about what a wrestler should look like in the eyes of fans. Look is a huge part of selling. The insults are not part of that conversation.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@WWENXT @nikkita_wwe @LizzyRain_wwe She's shooting for a good silhouette but with the exaggerated expression it does feel a little theatrical. Personally prefer she leans into the grittiness of rock n roll a bit more, wrestle ugly, throw some wild hamfists. I want it to feel like she's a rocker in a dive bar more

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@Xperience_Snr @Deek161473 @TripleH @whodeybaby9851 @DanhausenAD @mikethemiz @KitWilson_PD Wrestling fans talking like they understand the business then proceed to blame everything on Triple H like he is some omnipotent being handling everything himself. The talent have a massive stake in if they are successful, it isn't all writing.

@Dr_Bekka_UK @PlayStation @Sony I've been blocked now. So basically unless you're willing to also be dumb and blind to research... they don't wanna hear it. Figures.

[Ben @WorbleGames]

@Dr_Bekka_UK @PlayStation @Sony It's only the communication features that are now barred behind age verification which you get without paying for ps+ (available simply with a psn login which is free) so it's not breaching consumer rights. Age verifying communications seems good but it's whether you trust Yoti.
