Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode ran via P2P. So long as EA sells the game and thus have to authenticate your account the multiplayer mode will keep working. Oh wait does Anthem, Bob Dylan of video games, also work via P2P? Maybe it'll be up forever. Unloved and alone. Wait a minute, I remember seeing screenshots of server errors. Nah it's going into a coffin.

Wamdoodle posted:Fallout 76 allowed a player to declare himself a raid boss Like in Star Citizen there was a streamer who set up multiplayer battles over "missions" to "transport cargo" that two "factions" of players fought over for "rewards". All of the things in quotation marks were just players pretending as if those things were real. Whereas in EVE Online fights and player interaction arose because of actual programmed game features and desirable rewards, Star Citizen had to basically fake it all, presumably to fake the appearance of content so more people would buy the game. Just incredible delusion.

Best thing EA ever did was move the guy that was in charge of finding credit hacks to another projects and just go " gently caress it, cheat as much credits as you need, we don't care".

Derek Smart was an incredibly lovely person and pathological liar that made up a lot of poo poo. Even his jealous Star Citizen crusade turned out to largely be lies and taking credit for other peoples investigative work on the crowdfunding scam of that jpeg sim.

Remember when The Division launched and you had to access a laptop to get in the game proper, and there was only one laptop and only one person could use it at a time, so players had to form an orderly queue in-game to use a pretend laptop

I just think UBISoft didn't realize it would be an issue. They did quickly fix it too.

Anti-consensus theory that I think may have merit: Frostbyte is so bad that it seems the Montreal 'C' team, young developers with an experimental attitude, were the people who had the best handle on the thing. Even with institutional experience, Bioware couldn't produce anything decent with this thing. Bioware 'decided' to use the EA engine because EA makes it. If they were unaffiliated with EA they never would have gone with the Frostbyte Engine to accomplish what they wanted their games to accomplish. Hell, for 5 years, they were just trying to make the drat thing do something fun. It's like Anthem is a paid advertisement for the Unreal engine. And like people who wear nike shirts, we're the people wearing the "Unreal engine" shirts. And I'm almost happy to do it, because gently caress 'em. gently caress EA and their attempts to sell bullshit.
