  • That seems a bit ridiculous since you can immediately cancel it if you’re only in it for one month. It seems like they want to link payments to account so they can ban all accounts of specific boters at the same time that are on one payment source. I’m going to guess that they also want to ban people who are using other regions accounts. Like Chinese and Korean users who play on the American realms. If they have a contract coming up for someone else in China it would be a big push they would need to get the Chinese players back off the American realms.

    They changed from Coke to Pepsi outside of Atlanta and did not raise the price. I’m saying it wasn’t worth the change from Coke to Pepsi and would rather have a $2 hot dog and soda then a dollar fifty hot dog and toxic waste.

    There are equivalent to 33 global tiks by default. They’re supposed to be more asynchronous so that might help but that just sounds like trying to hide how much load your server actually should have. They’re also not dedicated when coming from valve they’re using dynamic cloud hosting. That gets thrown around as dedicated for console games but that is not what I dedicated server is.

    I don’t know if valve calling their cloud hosting dedicated, I haven’t been following since the beta. I have seen stories where sites are reporting valves dedicated servers but they don’t offer dedicated servers.




  • Nintendo online is even more shitty than the others. We still have zero games with dedicated servers splatoon smash none of them have dedicated servers which is the whole point in why they needed to charge a fee. You might like having the old games on the emulator for the monthly fee and that would be fine but there’s no reason to charge for matchmaking. Matchmaking and leaderboard should be free it might cost like 5 to 10 cents per year per user and they make way more than that with the 30 to 50% licensing fee for each game. To make the Nintendo one even worse third parties still have to pay for online services even though Nintendo also charges the customer. So if you buy a game that wants to use matchmaking or leaderboards they have to pay Nintendo additional fees for you to use them even though the customer you’re all so paying the fee for the same service

    When net neutrality was the law you could do that and the phone company couldn’t charge you. The company branded phone could just not support it. Before that it was ridiculously expensive, and now it depends on the company. Most post paid plans take it out of your fast data with no extra fee.
