    You don’t need to use the nsfw filter for the literal word ‘porn’ being used in a sentence.

    Please let us have one corner of the internet were we can be treated like adults and not smothered in algorithm inspired self censoreship.

    I didn’t know it was a real game. Thought it was just scam clickbait. Every ad made it look like a different genre.

      I remember a YouTuber I follow breaking into a raid shadow legends bit, clearly taking the piss and pretending they’d actually sponsored the video.

      It took me like a full 15 seconds to realize that it was just a real sponsored segment. They were just reading it with so much sarcasm that it came across like a bit. Don’t think they ever got that sponsorship again after that.

      A game’s quality is not always deterministic of the fanbase or playerbase’s activities.

      A competitive game can have solid production quality, great optimization, and plenty of content to get immersed in, but still have players racing to the bottom of the social interaction barrel. Hard to fault the game itself for that.

      Depends entirely on how you play them. The secret to enjoying OW is not playing ranked, and quitting the game once you start getting bored.

      Yes they are toxic but they are ultimately still good games. That isn’t even personal opinion, just due to the fact that they’ve been extremely popular for a decade proves that.

          Pretty good comparison as most of OW players are casuals.

          Still, the game’s had a ton of improvements over time, whereas movies aren’t a live-service thing, bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

          The game itself has remained popular because it’s received tons of updates in that decade, not because it was perfect at launch. Case in point: playing it’s original build during events is not fun for long, and most players stop bothering very quickly.
