I have a tendency to nod and "mhm" as a person speaks, even if I don't understand them. Partly out of habit, but also it feels polite. I'm usually looking at whoever is talking, whether it's the interviewee or the translator. It's definitely weird in the moment though lol

Thanks!! I was nervous as hell but he was so nice!

This is the first question I'm going to ask him. I watched an interview today where he introduced himself as Suda Fifty-One

This game doesn't have explotative pricing and loot boxes though? All of the characters are free which is extremely generous in comparison to any other remotely similar pvp game.

Only one way to find out

It's closed but Imma try to go before I leave

Was thinking about writing a Substack article today about how multiplayer gamers need more whimsy

They said that when we interviewed them as well. I wonder if they just didn't have the time between knowing they were being included in the awards to formulate a marketing plan, assets, etc? They did say they really wanted to emulate the Apex launch formula.

I do think closing the Game Awards and not having a marketing rollout was not a good look. But like, maybe we care too much about The Game Awards? Maybe that's more on Geoff than the team trying to launch a new thing they've worked years on? The discourse on this one made me feel bad man lol

We went to the Press day. There was a Creator day after. That said, it sounds like he wasn't there either.

Pretty sure he's lying. His badge looks photoshopped.
