I honestly do love the game but like, this year was stacked lol. I had a blast with it but other stuff was better

I mean porting isn't an effortless task to be fair.

I'd like to be clear I definitely do not prefer subscriptions to just buying it once. But really there are 2 scenarios here. 1. The game doesn't exist on mobile at all. 2. It exists and you can play it if you have a Netflix subscription. I wish there was more than that but tbh I feel like I'd pick 2. At least with 2 the devs get more financial support and some more people have access to these excellent games

Well basically these games would likely have not been on mobile at all. Netflix is publishing them for mobile. If I had to guess, I'd say that Netflix approached these devs and offered to publish for them and provide them money for being on their service. For the devs, it's free money for something they likely weren't considering in the first place (porting to mobile). I definitely wish the devs would publish themselves (if they have the means) but it's not how it's happening unfortunately. And fwiw they are on the play store. You just need to sign in with a Netflix account when the game boots up.

I def do wish that these companies were able to publish it themselves so they didn't have to go with Netflix, I can agree with that

The games are native on mobile. You need a sub but they aren't streaming

The games already exist, but not on mobile. I'd agree if they were available on mobile already and then went behind a paywall subscription. If the games would never exist on mobile if Netflix wasn't paying for them to be there, then I don't mind as much

Really hope it won't be just in the EU but it seems likely to be that way :/

Fair enough, but also team liquid has seemingly been around wayyyy longer than any of the city based teams. Of course there isn't as much passion and history. They've barely been given a chance. I mean I'm not that invested in esports in general, and I'm totally willing to believe city based teams aren't the way. But it's something I was more familiar with and got me, someone with 0 interest in reports to care a little when I saw my city had a team. Also, not a man btw

Maybe I'm wrong. And it does seem like the manager is probably passionate about it. But please correct me if I'm wrong since I don't know much about team liquid. I read the ownership section here and it just screams corporate to me.

I understand your point but I don't think city based teams have to be a toxic thing. Fandom for any team can be taken to the extreme, and I feel city based teams give fun ways to entice more people to care and have fun with it. Also, I mean pretty much every sport entity is corporate. Can't think of any esport team that isn't extremely corporate, city based or not.

Sad about this. I know it's fun to hate on overwatch, but the idea of an esports league being city based was really novel at the time. Ive always enjoyed overwatch, and despite overwatch 2s monetization being absolutely atrocious, the gameplay changes I have enjoyed for the most part

One of my best friends died in the 2015 one. I hate seeing this happen again. I really hope the toll isn't as bad this time 💔

I'm.... very cautiously optimistic for the sh2 remake. I really do not like bloober teams portfolio (and I've played most of it). However, I feel like since it's not their own original thing, and it's being supervised by some members of team silent, it could be good....

If it's not good I won't be too upset as the PC enhanced edition is so damn good. But I've got my eye on it.

Overall though, yeah townfall and f are more exciting to me

Nope, brand new game

Genuinely baffled that Elizabeth Warren is cosponsoring this. She's even said she regrets sesta fosta. Lawmakers simply don't do their due diligence when throwing their support behind a bill, and its disgusting and disheartening.

"Intuit will appeal this groundless and seemingly predetermined decision by the FTC to rule in its own favor and is confident that when the matter ultimately returns to a neutral body Intuit will prevail, as it has previously in this matter," the company said.

Lmao
