Marvel Rivals Has An Official Body Count Now

[tdsmith5556]

Today Paladins and Smite ended live support after only two months of getting bodied by Marvel Rivals. The company also laid off 30 developers who worked on these two games.

I'm not necessarily happy about this, but to be fair Paladins didn't offer a single thing that made it competitive.

Personally, I think Dead-lock will be the next game that gets added to the Marvel Rivals body count. I know it's still in alpha or whatever, but numbers are dropping off a cliff for that boring af game.

Man, these DEI devs really need to wake up and get their acts together cause China is taking over the game industry fast.

I still think the "Nobody wanted this" argument is so funny.
The way you talk makes you seem like the guy who says ♥♥♥♥ like "Video Games are an art form" just to then say "Nobody asked for this" as if anyone ever asked for anything when it comes to publicly available art.

Bro, you aren't a Medici comissioning Da Vinci, you're a gamer sitting in your chair going "Eww, I dont like this character because I cant identify with them"
While not realizing that this is literally how the people these characters DO represent feel like with 90% of the roster.

People voted with their time already.

That why Joeverwatch lost over half it's player population to this game cause nobody wants to play some fugly lady in a brown coat missing teeth that looks like Daw from Gonecord.

LGBT+ is only 7.6 percent of the US population. And female gamers are also a minority in the gaming sphere. The majority of the gaming population are straight men.

You want to target a minority audience enjoy being a minority game. That's what Overwatch is experiencing now as it get pummled by this game.

Before Overwatch enjoyed zero viable competition, but not anymore.

So get used to your game getting owned by this game while you pretend like what they are doing over there is working.

You are an imbecile, and a proud one at that, and while I find this disturbing, I have only pity for you.

Overwatch made a lot of mistakes to land where they are now.
To look at the smallest amount of inclusion possible. Like the smidgest of smidges of inclusion. Like literally 1 pansexual and 1 non-binary character (both of whom are getting skins at such low rates that they've basically become memes)
To look at the game as a whole and be like "hmm, yes. Clearly overwatch is failing because of venture and lifeweaver" is a thing only the simplest of minds could do.

I mean. I bet you're eating your soup with a fork.

Yes, character design matters (see: Gonecord) in a hero shooter where one of the main points is the hero fantasy of the game.

But keep pretending that doesn't matter.

Marvel Rivals is coming for what's left of that game's population and these game developers can go ahead and not learn anything from it and keep failing to this game.

It'll keep racking up that body count on these DEI game studios.

"Eh, yeah I know that OW went on life support for like a year and then the only supposed benefit of a sequel was cut from it, and then they kept releasing instant-meta heroes, and then they kept microbuffing their favorites, and then they never nerfed "fan favorites" and then they only gave Skins to the heroes that were intentionally not balanced, and then they made no skins for newer heroes, and then they built their entire monetization system on FOMO, and then they added another expensive as ♥♥♥♥ digital currency to sell you what they tried to fomo you into at 8x it's original price, and then they added additional sinks for the more expensive currency, but it's totally only venture and Lifeweavers fault that Overwatch 2 is bad"

You sound like someone with 0 idea about why overwatched failed and you just wanna be old man shouting at cloud because 2 characters are not straight white men or women with big tits and ass.

Nobody said that their woke Disney cartoon character design was the ONLY reason why they lost half their population.

That is just a symptom of the core issue.

If you want to nail down the failure to a singular root cause I think this is a good place to start:

https://www.activision.com/company/diversity-equity-inclusion

Tl;dr: hiring people based on inclusion scores and other nonsensical bullcrap metrics rather than simply hire people with the most talent and credentials.

I only ever heard about "Paladins" in the context of "x game is better than Paladins" and I've never even heard of "Smite"

No.

I just see that Whacktivision has crap hiring practices.

And I don't worry about it because the problem is working itself out literally as we speak.

People are voting with their time and wallets.

And yes, we like masculine male characters and hot women like Squirrel Girl and Invis Woman in our game.

Get over it.

If squirrel girl was a realistic woman, half of your compatriots on, let's say sites like 9gag, would call her a fat whale.

But sure, she's in a game and on first look has a fat ass and tits.

Video games are truly art, which, as we all know, is only viable if you can jork your meat to it.

they ended support for smite 1 because they made smite 2. smite is a fantastic game just too complicated for average marvel rivals players

smite is 2D video game with 3D graphics
Its not a hard to understand game.

Deadlock is a drastically better game then marval rivals
but deadlock has no progression and limited content compared to marval rivals.

games being more popular have never meant they are better
Its just meant they are easier to pick up and play
Marval rivals literally is popular because it benefits people just for playing rather then skill.
That's why theres such a low movement skill ceiling
Easier movement for worse players
unlike deadlock where movement skill ceiling is huge.

they are different genres, it is like comparing fruit with seafood. One is a moba and this is a hero shooter

Smite has been dead for around 7 years and Smite 2 is out now...

Wait why is Baldurs Gate so popular if DEI is involved, wait why are we complaining about whales again......

It's not. There are just a lot of people who don't play video games that don't realise how exceptionally bad it is and play it anyway. Same reason people played OW2 and Counter-Strike, COD, etc.
