SC isn't getting any Twitch viewers because its boring as gently caress.
Wankpod, run to ship, fly about, jitter explode, wankpod.

It was prob fun to watch in the first year, but 5 years of wankpod walls?
gently caress off, there's a guy riding a motorbike on a roof over in PUBG right now, or some lady making cut out paper angels.

I'm rocking some destiny 2 on the ol ps4 right now, but already pre-ordered the suck my hype-dick edition on pc, so I'm sure I'll play that with y'all

I've been seriously eyeing Destiny 2 as a nice middleground between the dumb shootmans I play and the small part of me that wants to sink deep into the loving arms of WoW again. That might settle it tbh.

its legit good

I had a ton of gripes with the first game, especially how the rpg mechanics were from some ancient Sega Saturn game and how loot distribution and builds worked

they seem to have fixed a lot of that this time around, I'm around 265 power and while progression has slowed, there's about 2 billion things to do at any given time and all of it is p fun

Hey! I love reading the SC thread over here at Something awful and have came to the conclusion that even IF this game comes out it's so F'ing p2w that i probable wont even play it...Guildwars 2's cash store was enough to make me stop playing but i gave SC a pass as it really did seem awesome.
Things have gone too far and long now and I'd like to ask you fine fellows to direct me to any Information on obtaining a refund and will there be any complications that I'm from Norway...also I hear you can't get your subscription payments back but as i subscribed to see a game made and that's not happening maybe there is hope there too.

Oh yes, fraud. You know, that thing that is relevant when nobody's money has been involved in anything.

true, but either way its buying cosmetics and poo poo and as long as it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way, I don't care

also no one gets to complain about random loot boxes unless you were a D&D DM trying to run a campaign and buying crates, loving CRATES, of mini boxes hoping beyond hope to get that super rare one you needed for a certain part

hearthstone, d2, overwatch, whatever, they all look like sane purchases compared to that poo poo

It hard as hell to get subscriptions back, but you're basically looking at what they advertised as coming with the subscriptions and what they provided. When they reply about deactivating your account they also remove your subscription hangar flair, so you can point that out too. It's possible to get subscription payments back but you'll have to push them into wanting to do it to make you away.

Make sure you take a complete copy of your billing page and hangar log before contacting them as they might deactivate the account immediately.

Okay I'm only half paying attention to twitch bullshit, so somebody please explain this to me. How is it that there's some like dozen pasty white dudes now streaming this garbage fire, and the viewer count is so low? Are they doing it in shifts such that there's one guy streaming SC at any given time of day, or do they have one viewer per stream, or what?

Sucessfull Twitch channel is 75% good hosting/nice voice/charisma and 25% recent and/or interesting game.

SC is not interesting (no stakes like PUBG, no funny team interaction like ARMA, no progression) and do you really hink ardent SC backers would somehow manage to shine in the Charisma dept ? If 3.0 manage to release someday (probably in the form of a planetside 2 type of map control game) the viewership will spike to 300-400 and then slump back for another year.

Meanwhile, 1k people are watching Warcraft 3 or Starcraft, games old enough to drink and vote.
