Yeah I was looking at Twitch numbers too, but honestly it'd still be a wild guess why it's that much higher. Could also be that they do something with Twitch drops, it essentially doesn't say much about player count itself.
I know previously it was because of world-first races, but I'm not sure if that's still the case.
Hm last I checked it said WoW had a lot more, I think mostly due to the new expansion at the time. But I think different sources are stating different things, they're pretty unclear where they get the numbers from anyway, there's little consistency with other statistics online.
Maybe, but they're not MMO games.
Most definitely.
It's seen better days and current expansion is kinda meh, but it's still leading the amount of active players by a lot over all other MMO games.
Depends what "side" you're on and what content you choose to engage with I guess.
Because features wise it's better than ever I'd say, I'm not even sure what stuff they added or removed that would've made the platform worse.
These kind of articles always remind me whenever a new MMORPG launched, and then people claimed it would be the World of Warcraft killer.
Wonder when they're gonna do that for Adobe products in Europe. Has to be one of the most scummiest subscription services present day. If you cancel too early you have to pay up a "cancellation" fee for remaining time of the month, or sometimes even more I believe. If you do it too late you'll have to pay for a whole new subscription, and pay for the cancellation fee. I don't even know why they're allowed to pull that shit on consumers.
Guess who's not bothering with subscriptions.
Fully self-sustained occupation!
Hey, therapists need to eat too.
Man, I had recently spent a lot of time designing advertisement stuff around an established brand identity, that was pretty much going for a classy/luxury aesthetic. So I was basing all my designs around that identity. Made lots of variations, took many hours perfecting it.
Then was told they didn't like it. They wanted something entirely different that "screamed" budget and flashy colors and shapes.
Got it just perfect on the second attempt after being briefed properly, but it did really hurt when my first attempt was shot down so easily.
Nah it's a long way from dying, I doubt it will ever go under in the foreseeable future anyway.
People are constantly announcing their departures from X and make a whole show about it. Only to come back after a couple of days or weeks.
