1/ So back in June of 2021 I left Blizzard Entertainment after 8 years. This was a very difficult decision to make but I felt like the opportunity that I was approached with was a unique one. Along with several colleagues of mine, we've started our own studio! @notostudios

It's Time for a New Beginning. Announcing 'Notorious Studios' - a new video game studio start-up established by former developers of World of Warcraft. Now hiring. https://t.co/k4fLeD7niV

Legacy: Steel and Sorcery Season 1 has finally arrived!

New Wizard class, new maps, new adventures await. 🔥

Enter the dungeon now ⚔️ https://t.co/fFsMz6Dxey

[Chris Kaleiki @ckaleiki]

After 3 years, the studio I founded @notostudios is shipping its first game tomorrow -- Legacy: Steel & Sorcery.

It features an innovative 3rd person Action-based combat that blends Soulslike combat with MMORPG-style spells & abilities, rich progression systems, and a "World PvP" core experience (extraction rpg).

World PvP has always been a part of MMORPGs (one of my favorite parts), but has never had its own game -- until now.

Incredibly proud of my team who made this game possible, my investors, our Legacy player community, my friends, family and colleagues for your support 💗

[Colin Volrath @BrutesMaps]

Excited to announce after our 3+ year Journey our game has officially gone into Early Access!!

@holinka This did not age well, but I was rooting for the Bills

Wish I could say I'm surprised by this tweet, but I'm not..... just wow..... clueless greed

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant.

@marlon_humphrey This post did not age well.....

@CosoBasso @bstategames it does but once ur in the game full screen ur brain is sort of turned off from the world while ur playing (at least mine is when im playing tarkov) - just toss that same warning on the main menu inside of the game, would be very beneficial imo

[Colin Volrath @BrutesMaps]

@zartoonation @bstategames it's called feedback, and any sensible DEV can parse through comments & validate the ones that are viable and the ones that just come off like whining. players who vehemently defend BSG can do so but there's nothing wrong with other players just wanting to help improve the game.

[Colin Volrath @BrutesMaps]

@CosoBasso @bstategames this has nothing to do with what you just said, it's a basic QoL improvement for anyone not directly in a game.....

I took a look at the new Tuscan to get a feel for how it might play if added to the pool. You can definitely feel the map's age, but I think it has a lot of potential and like all @catfood_maps creations, it's absolutely beautiful! 🏖️

Check it out 👇

Happy Birthday week, Counter-Strike! Today we are shipping the 10th Birthday Sticker Capsule and adding Anubis, Tuscan, and Breach and two new Wingman maps. And for this week only, players who rank up their profile will receive a limited time in-game item. https://t.co/wepCZlNus2

I think it's about time to open a few of those bottles🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

@gabefollower Then make the mapmaker sign an NDA and if they publicly violate the contract by announcing it before Valve announces then Valve takes the map and pays them nothing in return for violating the contract. Or Valve voids the contract and rejects the map for that operation. Simple.
