aren't typical "AAA" games running marketing budgets that are at least as big as the development budgets these days

Avalerion posted:Ignoring that last paragraph, that's what matchmaking systems are supposed to do. no, it's supposed to set up fair matches. in the long run, fair matches should arrive at a fair win rate, and in the short run it's a crapshoot since all participants have a real shot at winning. what's described is setting up unfair matches to counter - or create - streaks.

Laserface posted:how is that even going to work? if your ELO/win ratio/KD/whatever is collecting what is effectively useless data because you've skewed the odds, how will it even know your actual skill level so as to match you against lovely players to keep you playing? Elo handles uneven matches. adjusting the rating change based on the expected win rate of the match is built into the formula. picking players to create a likely outcome doesn't make the data of the outcome useless. except maybe if you set it to create extremely lopsided games, but, well, just don't do that. i suspect that it wouldn't be good for optimal manipulation to be too blatant anyway.

Countblanc posted:It isn't like most older kids or adults have been given the proper tools for things like noticing early signs of addiction, being like "it's hosed up if someone 17 years old ruins their life, but 18 is fine" is stupid. Entire industries exist specifically to figure out how to exploit things like the fatigue you have after coming home from 10 hours at your lovely job, that's not any more moral than doing it to kids, and that's basically what lootboxes are. just so i'm reading this right, you're taking an explicitly pro-child-gambling position here?

streamer begging is a blight on this fair world that preys on children and socially deficient adults, but it's also mostly a separate phenomena.

good gameplay takes time. good graphical assets can be churned out in parallel if you just hire enough people

in wf you're basically paying to not play the game, which i can certainly understand the allure of but i found a cheaper way to not do that
