He's a FFXIV fanboy, the game that was a big floop, and by big I mean BIG, then it turned out awesome, and they they made F2P until a certain part, where people play and they give up, of so boring it gets -.-
Wannabe writers its what it is...

For the question of the week: I am quite sad that Bless will be buy to play. Oh, not because I was going to play it, but rather because that awesome first look won't be happening anytime soon. *sadface*
Chiming in with my own opinion for this week's Fortnite discussion: When they launched Fortnite BR i was seeing it as a danger to Fortnite STW, split dev time, split playerbase and so on, but now that it's got so surprisingly popular it shifted my opinion on it's impact on STW. Yeah, there are stories that most of Epic Games staff is working on PvP now and with BR being so popular, there's no reason not to believe those rumors.
However, now that Fortnite BR has gotten huge and it had so much exposure (it's everywhere, and Epic Games are pushing it hard, i am writing this comment looking at a Fortnite add on the right side of the page), think how many people will try STW when it goes F2P. I don't think they will shut it down this year, i believe they are gonna launch it, then see what they do with it, depending on how it does as F2P.
QOTW: Yes, because i won't waste the 2-3 hours on it now. Maybe i'll do something productive for once, like spear some fish in Warframe.

Not even the New MMO Games stand a chance with this over-saturated market. I mean just look around some of the Multiplayer online games that have become non-existed online. The community itself has become nothing but a barren waste land for most part.
