I'm scratching my head over complaints about "pandering". Are gay men really such a massive determinant to success in the video game market that people would cynically pander to them.
flatviewer here with no stake in overwatch and never played it
it's just a buzzword they like to use to complain about any representation other than straight white males. it's not about numbers or marketing, it's literally just dudebros who can't accept that there are any people other than their own demographic who play video games and enjoy them.
You don't deserve the level of shit you're getting for admittedly questionable choices, but I'm also seriously starting to think you had something to do with someone trying to lie about me in a pretty big way just to keep me from apping a character. I don't know that for sure and I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I just can't trust you.
It's nothing personal, but goddamn does every interaction we had look shady in retrospect.
a game like that requires too much work and involvement for players. they probably gave up because dwrpers are lazy bitches and they wouldn't appreciate a game like it.
Overwatch is a shitty game that failed to capitalize on its success and become a serious competitive venture that could have secured its continued success. No one cares anymore and so they’re pulling a JK Rowling and trying to re-ignite the fandom interest rather than fix or add quality content to the source.
she did! just wanted to note that the show actually went on for a few more seasons and the hair wasn’t really the reason for low ratings. i remember it being a big thing tho.
I'm not even a mod, but I am getting very sick of the 'lol i cant remember when ac is omg its so hard! lmao what do you mean theres reminders every month in the gam and on plurk and on discord how can i possibly remember?? XD XD' crowd. I dunno, use one of the five electronic devices that are at your fingertips to set a reminder? Ask a friend to remind you? Use a post-it note? Tie a fucking string around your finger? Be an adult for once in your life. The only thing worse is the 'i forgot ac and idled out sorry guys :(' plurks that follow if these gerbils still somehow forget with all the handholding.
Might be an attempt to re-engage people, but its not equivalent. Rowling retconned dumbledore gay in a way where she never actually does anything with it, making it an empty gesture never made canon by actually appearing in the material. We already saw from things like blizzard doing a comic about tracer and her girlfriend that they're willing to actually do things with it when they decide these things.
