if your multiplayer game has a peak of like 100k players its fucked. its dead. give up now. if it has a peak of 100 players and isnt out of early access and most of the updates are from a community mod because no one knows what the devs are doing: it will live forever

ATTN: If you're an executive for one of these major game studios or the six dozen offshoot startups creating a new uninspired multiplayer game you are welcome to pay me to come in and tell you to stop making it because no one wants this shit, saving you millions of dollars. email in bio

the entire foundation of Riot's success as a studio is to essentially copy and remake other proven popular games so I could see them panicking believing 2XKO is a failure because it hasn't outperformed the lifetime sales of Street Fighter and Marvel in three weeks

gamers roleplaying as cops. cops pretending to be gamers. society has peaked

First person shooters

When you got annoyed with Patricia Hernandez' Kotaku headlines that was actually the work of The Elder Pedophile.

Microsoft banned Jeffrey Epstein from Xbox Live in 2013 for “harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players” that was “severe, repeated, and/or excessive.”

the boys are doing incredible work right now. tune in and please donate if you are able www.twitch.tv/giantbomb www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2bm...

nintendo is going to drone strike the data center responsible for this

Amazon finally put an NBA game on Twitch I'm going to find Kevin Durant's burner in chat

I wish this chatbot on chess.com had a different line of dialogue for when it starts to lose

Can't even get courtesy likes on here. Liking all of the posts of people beating my ass in the replies without reciprocation. Washed

if you don’t want to use X because the ketamine addicted racist estranged from his kids who owns it is distributing terabytes of grok csam that’s perfectly reasonable and respectable. but advising others esp those in the games industry not to use Twitter is delusional and the scolding is laughable

hey man it was good to run into you are you on Bluesky? great me too did you sign up for Upscrolled? yeah same I just added you on Discord. dope here’s my google plus account. yeah Signal is based but you gotta be on Session. nah no one uses Threads. yeah man I wanna kill myself too. see you soon

yeah I listen to Classical music I'm sophisticated

it really feels like there's maybe tops half a dozen game designers in the world who have the vision (and funding) to build and lead a successful live service shooter and everyone else should hang it up. no one's coming close to the goat. Jordan. Faker. Zampella.

on Bluesky 90% of my feed is still the most effective ways to torture the ICE high command and only a few posts on Highguard. on Twitter 90% of my feed are streamers on vyvanse gfuel cocktails mad they suck at Highguard after playing for only 45 minutes and a guy telling Vance to kill himself daily

Highguard launches and Deadlock hits its highest player count since the first months of beta. Gaben always finds a way

DrDisrespect making a fake badge pretending to be invited to a creators event is really pathetic but as long as he doesn't have any other major controversies he should come out the end of this okay

Concord, XDefiant, Spectre Divide, Anthem, Project Ethos, Fragpunk, Super People, Supervive, Battle Aces, Omega Strikers, Spellbreak, Seekers of Skyveil, MultiVersus. Stormgate, Splitgate, Wildgate. Highguard. Marathon? Not Deadlock

Lemme tell ya... there is a SUBSTANTIAL difference between attending the press day or influencer day when it comes to preview events for competitive multiplayer games.

Making a list of every person who follows me on Twitter but won’t here. Don’t worry about it

Already planning a Highguard beta team with OW and Rivals pros to become the highest rank player on Bluesky until the other 27 people playing on Steam Charts quit three weeks in

hey guys, just to confirm this is my fundraiser. i didn't want to ask for help, but i do need it. my cancer is back. i am going through a lobectomy next week, the same surgery Walter White undergoes. i can't express how grateful i am. thank you so much everyone. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

one of the advantages of this site being a group of gaming journalists instead of pro gamers or streamers is that I can claim to be the best Bluesky Quake or Overwatch player in the world and probably be correct

yin and yang

Bluesky has all the game journalists, writers, devs, and artists on it while simultaneously having no games or gamers. this is the future of community building

Saudi World Cup games announced featuring as usual every major studio as partners and certain publishers getting millions to use their IP. the Saudis are paying some streamers more per hour to watch the event on Twitch than the average person makes in a year. is everyone excited

the best way we can grow Bluesky is by telling someone you know and then they tell someone they know. I've sent invites to Ian Miles Cheong and Keemstar and told them to tell their friends. we can do this together butterflies!

opening day of the VCT 2026 season. Riot put a lot of money into marketing the debut of VCT+LCS this year, Valorant esports viewership could use all the help it can get right now, all the devs use this website, and they still don't think it's worth posting on here

I have followed every game dev on Bluesky. If you are currently running or planning to release a AAA live service game I will not demand you keep the woke out. I may however have 21 eggplants sent to your office (see: Jeff Kaplan happy at Blizzard) to address the highly important concerns of gamers

Lets take look at Blizzard, Epic, Valve, Ubisoft, Respawn, Embark and all the devs who have the biggest games on Twitch I'm sure they're all super psyched for the new Bluesky feature

Hell yeah I bet Twitch is psyched about the new live stream feature

neat update i guess but it's pretty funny for Bluesky to do this when 95% of all streamers still don't post on here or even have an account including Twitch itself bsky.app/profile/bsky...

RIP Highguard, 2025-2026 bsky.app/profile/slas...

i've been using Twitter most of my career to politely tell game developers why gamers don't like their games and with everyone leaving the plan was to continue that here. however it turns out all the AAA devs now exclusively post on LinkedIn so I must commit to a new era: professional cyberbullying

a timeline of FaZe Clan owners over the years: run by a guy who slept with a 17 yr old and a guy who broke the world record for adderall consumption gave control to an insane Norweigan scammer who put in charge a guy making IDF sponsored TikToks for gamers then sold it to the founder of DraftKings

every single new game studio featuring ex-Riot, Blizzard, Valve, Epic, Respawn devs: "We just quit our jobs and spent the last five years and 500 million dollars in total secrecy making our new competitive multiplayer extraction shooter moba that will launch with 100 concurrent players. LFG!"

Valve has historically had the fewest major leaks of any big technology/games company I can think of by virtue of having no social media team, no PR, and famously a singular communications person that is harder to get a response from than your great grandpa via ouija board

on Bluesky there's a contingent of people 'boycotting' ARC Raiders while it has 400,000 concurrent players for having AI and on Twitter there's an international crisis because EuroGamer gave it a 4. as an arbiter of gamers and games media I am proud to say that everyone is wrong job well done

championship rings won before turning age 30 Faker: 6 Gretzky: 4 MJ: 3 Brady: 3 Mahomes: 3 Lebron: 2 Ohtani: 0 case closed

to become a world champion professional gaming organization your roster needs to consist of a teenager everyone thinks is cheating, a ranked ladder demon banned for spamming slurs in all chat, no Americans, and an old unc (30 years old) leader who carries the team

Locked in to multiscreen live election coverage that New Yorkers can trust

Polymarket and Kalshi intentionally posting misleading political engagement bait content about Zohran to swindle money out of all the hysterical nyc tech and crypto guys is the type of soulless marketing I approve of

on Twitter you get to fight with antiwoke youtubers with brain damage and the nazi coalition of groypers but on here you have to go up against thousands of accounts doing their best Jamie Lee Curtis bear dinner scene in every reply

New YouTube policy announced cracking down on online gambling and skin gambling, but it's also targeting 'graphic violence' in video games and will begin age restricting videos of "mass violence against non-combatants". So every GTA6 release day video

I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane. I've removed the paywall. Please share and subscribe if you can. www.patreon.com/posts/exclus...
