Well, it's not like Bio doesn't know the activity levels on the servers, Twitch or no Twitch. Has twitch become the new measuring stick for success? Is not that new. And is pretty much one of the few readily available measuring sticks.

It's not a bad metric, particularly now that we're in the GaaS era.

Well, it's not like Bio doesn't know the activity levels on the servers, Twitch or no Twitch. Has twitch become the new measuring stick for success? If you asked two years ago, I would strongly hesitate to say yes. However, after the release of Apex Legends, absolutely. That game was released with zero marketing, completely out in the dark, and it became an overnight success entirely due to Twitch (and the subsequent word of mouth generated from it). The impact of Twitch on games' successes and failures can no longer be overlooked, fellow BSNer. Especially on an era in which games as a service and microtransations are a thing.

I want to share this video from Aztecross talking about Anthem's first month. For those who do not know, he is mostly a Destiny 2 content creator (and one of my favorite ones at that) and, like many of them, created content for Anthem as well, at least while there were things to cover in Anthem.
Aztecross is not a skeptic at all, he is quite caring and lighthearted when talking about Anthem, and he is just a guy with expectations who wanted to invest himself into Anthem and, well, he simply hit a wall in the process. But anyway, I find interesting to see opinions from people who are unbiased such as him.

It's a pretty good one for certain types of games, like Anthem. Or other Liiiiiiiive Seeeeeervice type of games. Usually, SP games are only in the first two rows for a few days, after that people move on to something else. CS, Dota, PUBG, APEX Legends, those games are just for Twitch. Anthem, like a "side Destiny" theoretically should be pretty popular around there.

Not at all surprised, and it's why I didn't get my hopes up for it. Even in the livestream when they revealed it was coming, Ben Irving said it was going to be Vinyls and some other stuff. Him not mentioning armor pretty much tipped me off. Gotta get people "enticed" to spend real world money.

I'd like to know what the numbers are for MEAMP. I never played a second of it but I was still playing ME3MP last year... and now that I have better internet again a coworker is egging me about playing with her and her other BSN buddies again.
But ME3MP was lightning in a bottle. They have not been able to recreate it. Whatever telent for enemy and sound design they once had must be gone.
Worse than ME3MP, and it has always been like that, because it's an inferior game and people noticed it. I can try to play ME3MP or MEAMP, and I'll have more luck finding players in ME3 every single time. I'm not playing currently (no PC and all that...), but even when I was playing the waiting times were horrendous, to the point you could have a lobby open for hours (not even joking) and no one would join. I played a lot with TermForce the last months, we used to duo a lot because it takes forever for someone to join. North america and Europe have slightly more players than the rest of the world. But yeah, it's pretty bad. Constantly seeing old and new players alike on Xbox. It’s also relatively quick to get a full lobby, especially if it’s set up for the daily challenges. Speaking about Andromeda of course. The player numbers are definitely low, however.

How is that different from any other product, though? A business offers something for sale at a certain price, and buying it is either worth it or it is not.

Had a bit of hope for this update, but damn, Bioware knows how to screw things up even when they try to fix them. The Interceptor melee lightning nerf actually makes me the most mad. Maybe it's balancing but it just forces me to kill things much slower and be a target for much longer. Meanwhile the Colossus got stronger it seems and looks like the most viable class right now. Almost like the only class worth using in GM3.

Almost like the only class worth using in GM3. The funny thing is on paper, the patch probably would have gotten me to boot the game up again. But nope, totally fucked. The melee lightning change is fine imo. It lowers the dps of a constant melee stream, which is fine if they're going to leave the broken scaling because it did more damage than pretty much anything. But now you can do things like air melee to proc, run, then come back and proc it again without fully committing to the chain and leaving yourself open. All in all I think it will play better.
