You can't be :
- The switch 2 is too pricey
When you were :
- The switch isn't up to par graphics wise

The irony is too big.

Also : "Steam deck is cheaper than switch 2"
Nobody is buying a Nintendo console to exclusively play PC released games. Also, a mouse built in and better graphics. See irony

Year has started a bit crazy...

Medical appointements coming left and right,
Job search on hyperdrive,
Rock climbing through all of that,
I kept doing a bit from the brickbreaker from Christmas.

So yeah... I still want to finish some videos I started... but I need time, a lot of it 😬

Gonna have my first lonely Christmas. With all the video game layoffs, figured I might as well use this opportunity to make a brickbreaker in under 48h for a portfolio (Yes, I'll sleep. So stream might not be up all the way through. TBD)

TLDR; Game Dev stream for most of the 24 and 25th of December

I want to believe we have some control here, but if we we definitely don’t have it if we don’t use it.

With xDefiant closing down, it's hard for me not to see that having no SBMM was definitely part of the issue.

Bringing 15M players to play your game but not being able to retain enough to run the game for much more than a year... yes, Uplay is a factor and people go back to CoD but still.

Supervive started their open beta 2 weeks ago.

8 months ago I flagged to them (in their feedback channel on discord) that they should consider some sort of system to slow down smurfing.

Today I got pinged repeatedly from people finding said ping and commenting on it.

MM is game dev'ing.

A while ago, I made a video about SBMM.

I was not expecting the pushback that it got. How can you be against a system that is helping you find fairer games !? Well, apparently some people rather lose every game or win every game. Two situations that I get bored with.

Next video is gonna be talking about players wanting engagement systems in competitive games.

If you want to chime in with your thoughts, I'd love to have more insights.

Some convo starters :
Ranked in every mode
Battle passes
Normal vs Ranked Queue
"I want ranked to have a goal to work towards"

Hi, I'm a game dev that is really interested in competitive gaming. So interested that I make videos analysing the problems in the industry.

Smurfing, competitive integrity, healthy ecosystems, Skilled based matchmaking.

If you are interested in the subject, I'll 100% post more about it.
