New Blizzard IP. Looks very similar to Team Fortress. Beta to be held in 2015. Interested for sure, hope it's got an RPG element to it where you build a skill tree based on experience you gain throughout matches.

Pretty sure Blizzard split from Activision. Blizzard has dabbled in micro transactions but they try to put their games first. They shut down the Diablo RMAH because it ruined the game. They do things like mounts and pets in wow but no real pay to win gear. You can skip the leveling to 90 for 60 dollars but that doesn't really affect the gameplay. 

 

Those kind of Arena style PVP games do tend to be pay to win. It's very very hard for these companies to turn down money. Their operating costs are significant. 

 

I can't think of any pay to win features in Star Craft. But the game industry is a lot like the NFL. Salaries and overhead keep going up and they try to squeeze every cent out of the consumer to keep their profit margins intact. It sucks but there is no way to stop it.

      We definitely overpaid but as long as he's not lined up at NT he's been a starter level player which is a major step in the right direction compared to last year's D-line.  Because of his contract he'll definitely be here next year, but I fully expect him to be a cap casualty next offseason.  We'd save 15M in cap space if we cut him in 2027. I don't think he sees year 3 of his deal. I'd be open to keeping him around in 2027 but his deal would have to be reworked to a substantially lower number.

      Getting left out in favor of less-deserving Alabama is an honor bestowed upon a new team every year. Miami should take pride in back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time in decades. As long as this doesn't cripple their program like it did FSU, they should be able to go for another one next year.  And, being someone who also likes to see Miami do well but knows its penchant for horribly timed losses, there's a great chance they don't find a way to beat UVa or Duke last night regardless of the matchup on paper.

      Truth be told, I just like a 4-3 defense better and I'll just jump in with any chance to make that statement. Seemed like an opportune moment.
