    Just fix your game. Or even better yet, maybe don’t drop a game before it’s even finished? I’ve said it before but the beta ran better than the actual game. It’s hot ***. Rip overwatch, dead before it even picked up. Was good while it lasted but I’m done with this annoying ****.

    @vei_oy (As an aside, the live-service nature of games like Fortnite and Destiny 2, plus the recent intrusion of Overwatch 2... all demand time from my already limited pool. RE8 is not much of an issue since it's a stream-exclusive... and lately that's just weekends 😥)
