"Just a few more ligaments and this baby can shoot 90!"
Isn't one of the stated design decisions they made to have no story at all so it was more of a classic 'shootmans' in the vein of old arena shooters?

Like, is there any single part of their design philosophy that they haven't done the literal opposite of at one point?

Used to be that hackusations in FPS were just from salty losers, you can never really know for certain nowadays.

I believe your boast sounds vaguely familiar.

No, you are mistaken on this point

Top player on top team has been hacking for > 1 year.

I actually was on that team for a little. (edit: actually I created that team and got cut because I never really wanted to play).

That thread on a long-term hacker is really interesting. You really never know if someone is legitimately that good or if they simply know how to cheat.

Pricing for in-game items in their original IP are based on development time and not any discernible sales strategy. Example: Players are expected to pay 45 bucks for a naked character whose midsection is blurred out because someone thought it was a good idea to waste months of development time on it.

This is what happens when you have management who has no idea what they are doing but are allowed to continue doing it because no one is allowed to question them. Way to run a good thing directly into the ground.

It's Hammer Time!
A shame to see that Loadout isn't going to get out of it's death spiral.

I loved annihilation when it came out and getting to be friends with a lot of the top tier players by virtue of being a persistent fucker even when on horrible teams. Even the new PvE mode could have had some potential as long as it got polished/fixed and didn't interfere with ranked pvp.



I might be part of the problem though since I played the poo poo out of the game, yet I don't think I spent a single dime on spacebux.
