...Well, at least I started my Christmas shopping early. I can get a refund in time.

You know what this golf game needs? Violence!

I might actually be interested in playing a golf game if there was a Balrog in it.

Marvelous

Ah, time travel and its convenience for providing only the amount of information that avoids violating NDAs. Although that final bit of advice may be the most important of all.

I just hope Gabe doesn't accidentally leave half of his pinky finger behind.

I'd amend that to just not eating at Olive Garden period.

Yes, it is about MARVEL SNAP according to The Rant. I haven't played it and I have no interest in it, but Marvel did post a hilarious promo spot for the game featuring none other than Nick Fury.

Troubletown

I know this one will be explained in The Rant, but I'm very curious what is specifically being referred to here. Is there a new Disney-themed game coming out?

There's a live action Little Mermaid in production, though that Ariel will be black.

Ah, there we go. I figured it had to be something like that. Kind of makes you wonder if these games are meant to convey that all these characters live together and simply act out the hero-villain roles whenever it's time for a big film... sort of like the conceit of the Super Mario universe.

Who Watches The Overwatchers

Yes, publishers are so interested in getting their social media metrics up that they will reward you for watching other people play their games.

Yea, it's one of those ironic things where marketing comes up with something that may well end up hurting sales. The department meetings there must be real fun right now...

I think Warframe still does this. Watch their Twitch developer stream, or watch one of their Twitch partners play for a while, and you get stuff. But it's usually stuff you can get in game, while playing their game, not stuff you can only get that way.

Then again, I bailed on Warframe after they stole all my warframes and stuck them behind an unwinnable boss fight, so maybe they've changed things.

Warframe has always been good about making everything accessible to everyone, free to play included. The promotions might be the only way to get them for a short time, but usually it's just a way to dodge farming resources and building it yourself. The game's money-making has always been pretty simple: It's a very grindy game, you can skip parts of that with money.

I would rather a game be designed around earning content through play rather than paying to skip the grind, even if it means a subscription fee for online play. At least in that situation you know that some kid isn't going to drop thousands on the game and bankrupt their parents, and it gives developers an incentive to provide more content over time, not frontload everything and wait for the whales to wander in.

Dailies are more addictive. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, who knows, but Warframe has absolutely been developing constantly over its entire run. The difference being that you can drop out for a few months and then come back to see what's new, rather than worrying that you missed the limited-time super exclusive extra drop chance whatever.
