Oh hello khronos, how's the estrogen coming along?
I remember when he throwed shit at Asmongold then this whole drama unfolded lmao. Honestly I watch asmon even considering some of his takes are retarded like Jason's ones
He's a very uncultured gamer overall, very similar to "Developers dont play their games" and most developers dont even understand what they coding
EA licensed the server binaries to companies to host the community servers for them, the hosting in these platforms worked similary to Counter Strike, you can modify a CFG but in battlefield you cant insert new stuff other than some coding to kick for using snipers and shit.
I know plenty gooners from Final Fantasy and they played a shit ton of it aside gooning, so he wouldnt be considered like a good guy in the ERP community... Honestly its funny as fuck but consider the following... He just casual played for clout but he doesnt understand dogshit about the game itself.
In the case of battlefield, those binaries exist but we dont have it. Venice Unleashed managed to reverse enginner it for their own platform and build tools for modifying maps + adding new coding to the game, gameplay mechanics, etc... Battlefield 3 is fully moddeable
bro when you talk about how he's a nepo baby or that his entire life is defined by his brief stint as a low level Blizzard employee, you undermine all the work he's done and all the things he's accomplished, such as passing the Stop Killing Games petition.
TBF I do think think live service stuff slipped in silently into the industry over time, boiling the frog sort of approach. I remember games such as the aforementioned "the crew" came out when Microsoft was pushing the whole "cloud computing" shit where stuff would be held server side people brought up how it would be shit if the internet gets shut down. Simscity 2013 was also a victim of this as well, but a lot of other games (mostly multiplayer ones because they found out how to charge out the ass for cosmetics) tried to do it subtler in games where an online connection as normal to find matches and all that. add onto that fact the boom in gaming during covid and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of younger gamers are conditioned to this sort of thing.
For anything you could say about Critikal and his slop videos, he really values humility and he's kind to a foolish degree. Giving anyone the benefit of the doubt shouldn't be looked down upon, but it does allow people to show their true colors and ultimately makes it clear who is in the wrong if it wasn't already. For a guy having an audience his size, mald choosing to be stubborn, condescending and lax with his words is a really stupid move for his reputation.
If he really wants that furry gooner bucks still you'd think he would transition to VR chat avatars
