G4TV went to the MLG Spring Championship in Anaheim, CA, where Matt Swider found KeSPA, StarCraft: Heart of Swarm preview stations and SC2 and League of Legends crowds loving all of the competitions. The $76,000 in SC2 prize money alone didn't hurt the loving for the weekend-long competition either.
The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 map is going to bring several changes to the in-game island, and Epic Games may have leaked some of them.

And well-deserved. I'm having a ball of a time so far. Just need to change out my heavy armour, it's a murder on my stamina and sprinting.
SIE managed to find success with gaas quicker than I suspected. Arrowhead did a great job getting past that initial launch difficulty, I've been playing again recently doing mostly solo missions. Can't even get off the damn planet after completing everything, lol.
12 million is crazy, but it also paints an opposite picture to what the forums would have you believe about gaas. And it being more successful then the single player games of late also kind of proves to an executive gaas IS. what the consumer wants.
Disagree, most GAAS games are free, cheaper than or around the same price as Helldivers.
Helldivers II sold very well because of the viral campaign and word of mouth, I can't think of another game that has done numbers like this that wasn't completely free or attached to a service like GamePass/Plus Extra~Premium.
Helldivers II is an exception to the rule, not the norm.
