You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
The ubisoft connect app is so poo poo lol. I claimed AC Origins and thought "ok let's see what kind of DLC this thing has" so I selected the "my games" link in the app and selected AC Origins, and looked for a way to view the avaliable DLC. There was none. But there was a link that said "Store" so I thought "I guess it makes sense that the DLC would be there" and opened that link, and it was completely blank. As far as I can tell I'd have to go to the web store to look at the DLC. I thought they'd design the app to be constantly pushing the DLC in your face to try and get you to buy it instead of trying to pretend it doesn't exist!!!

Usually the AC games do that themselves in the in-game menus.

You have to select the store tab on the top of the app, click the DLC menu, hover over the assassins creed series, and then click Origins. You can not get it from the games menu, because that just lists whatever helix credits are.

I managed to get through it before the patch and it was a massive ball ache. Talk about rubber banding!

Same.

On the other hand, winning that race and beating Marquis de la Montalban on Swashbuckler difficulty was one of the top ten gaming moments of young me.

I genuinely want to play the free Epic game this week. The other free one is some DLC for a lovely MP-only game that will be dead by January, but a wine-making simulator actually sounds fun and novel.

There is also free DLC for the game too. Not sure if it’s normally free, or indeed that I will ever play it, but it’s there.

lol im a little surprised that epic games is advertising a direct competitor to fortnite; they must be 0% concerned that this game has any longevity

Realm Royale has been around for a while now and somehow not died, I still fully expect Rumbleverse to go down before it (if only because Iron Galaxy doesn't have several loads of staff and funding from the state of Georgia)

It was not great

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Is there a game that Hi-Rez Studios has made that was anything more than flavor of the month? It feels like they make multiplayer games designed to fade away.

Smite has staying power, but it never was the king of the MOBA ring.

Smite and Paladins have always been low-key popular and never in danger of like, dying or anything. I like Rogue Company but it's dead as gently caress in Australia and much more ping sensitive than Paladins and mostly flourishes on consoles where CSGO and Valorant don't exist but every now and then I pop in for a botmatch.

On the other hand, HiRez has a history of shutting down games that still have healthy player counts for reasons unknown; see also Global Agenda and Tribes: Ascend.

I think Paladins was in danger of dying for a bit, when they tried to force p2w elements (they copied stuff from star wars:battlefront AFTER the big drama about it lmao), but they changed that stuff and recovered. besides that incident, Paladins and Smite are those games that are just silently chugging along in the background, having a decently sized playerbase.

that said I think Hirez has made like half a dozen stupid smite spin offs, card games, autobattlers and who knows what else that all crashed and burned.

Tribes: Ascend was really good but in a specific subgenre that peaked in the early 2000s and has been on life support for more than a decade.

I wouldn't call it flavor of the month, and its community was small, passionate, and old.
