  I agree, and the performance thing was my suspicion as well. It just seems off to have a large scale siege game be so small.

  To be honest 5v5 still seems kinda small on paper to me, but I haven’t played it.

  The focus on player dropoff is always misleading. Free to play games always lose massive numbers of players within the first week generally. What matters is who’s left, and what the company’s operating budget is. 10k players or even less can be plenty for a small team for instance. With such small player team sizes in-game, that would also be more than enough for a populated feeling queue.

  The team size is so baffling to me in this game, but I’ve been wondering after watching this if it’s actually a performance thing.

  It sounds like the game is woefully poorly optimized, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it can’t handle a more fun number of players.

  Hustle culture is a cancer honestly. Way too many people have internalized it and feel guilty for resting. I put myself in this bucket too, but I’m working on undoing that cycle these days.

  Not going hard 100% of the time doesn’t make you lazy, it makes you healthy. Lazy is so far on the other end of the spectrum.

  Do you like puzzle games? I played Blue Prince with my wife and that was pretty fun. She’s not much of a gamer, so I just drove and she took notes. We talked about decisions/speculated on puzzles together.

  Accident is weird to describe what’s in this article. It sounds like standard iteration that all creative works go through.

  I think in the us it is dramatically larger for iOS. Last time I checked I think it was 75% share?

  I wish more games did better sign posting too. I’m not a fan of following the dotted line, but I see too many games where there’s no other way to do it. The NPC tells you to go somewhere, and doesn’t actually give you directions.

  I thought the same thing. I would honestly argue that metroidvanias were open worlds before we had that term. There are some that are more linear than others, but many of them are very exploration heavy and don’t have a single order you must do things in.
