Massively Overpowered

I actually blinked when I read the patch notes for Darkfall: Rise of Agon's update this week. It's surprising for an MMO for make a major reversion of combat mechanics at all, let alone to mechanics that haven't existed in the game since May of 2018 - long before this indie-backed spin-off of Darkfall went free-to-play. Apparently, the revert is...

Specifically, folks want to know more about...

I used to watch Spongebob religiously. I loved the days when I could put on Nickelodeon and have Spongebob on for hours. One of my favorite jokes from the show is Mr. Krabs' ongoing quest to fleece more money out of Spongebob for the work he was doing while paying little to nothing in return. In one episode, Spongebob...

Oh boy. Oh, boy. So you all remember Wild West Online, right? Survival sandbox that launched in much the same way that having a rocket fall over and explode qualifies as a "launch?" And you remember how way, way back in the day with that game, there were rumors about the development being connected with Sergey Titov and Free...

While thoroughly enjoying playing Astroneer's special event in honor of Apollo 11's moon landing 50th anniversary that's happening now through August 31st, I was surprised to come across grumblings about how this and the free special summer skins were offending players. Complaints about gating content behind limited-time events were driving some players to declare they will never play again,...

So here's the breakdown. MechWarrior Online is the multiplayer shooter developed by Piranha Games based off the longstanding single-player series of shooters. Piranha Games later started work on MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, the single-player shooter that's an actual sequel to the prior series.
