When D.Va shouted "nerf this!", surely she didn't expect to be nerfed this much. Has Blizzard rendered the mech-pilot to be far less useful?
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.
Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.
My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
Yeah before she served her purpose which is a bullet sponge tank, now her mech collapses way too fast. I agree that she needed a health nerf, but not this severe. What really makes it suck is that the new skin is so cool.
Idk. On one hand she's definitely more squishy and I question if that damage nerf was really necessary in addition to the armor nerf. But on the other hand I'm still doing fine with her. Gonna have to play some more.
Personally I didnt think she needed nerfing with health or armour or firepower at all....... I think it was fine as it was and just required a little teamwork to bring her down quickly. A Soldier or Bastian could rip her in two in seconds, while other characters could do it with some fire support to weaken her. Only when heros didnt work as teammates and tried to take her on alone did the problems appear over how strong she was.
What I think needed Nerfing if anything was the shield ability she projects. I think that it should be something that can be brought up as a last resort defence that lasts for 2 seconds, not bring it up and sit on a control point for 5+ seconds almost invincible. If the shield was something she could bring up only for 2 seconds it would be used as a "bring it up as a retreat" measure than a "bring it up and charge in blocking all bullets from hitting any of the heroes stood directly behind me" measure. Nerf the shield protection and bring the health and armour back and all will be good.
And bring a second Ultimate to Widowmaker as her current one, although useful is not great for using the character a lot, and I believe that a second one where her Sniper Rifle charges up to 100% instantly and reloads at twice the speed for 8 seconds would be a great way of giving her some extra rapid fire punch in a push for a control point or defending one.
It's funny that D.va gets a nerf, but bastion remains untouched since launch. and now Symmetra is ridiculously OP. Blizzard still hasn't figured out how to balance a game.
