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.

      I don’t think we were watching the same game. Dalton’s passes weren’t on target either. Especially the 30 yard one that gave XL one third of his yards. The one he had to stop and come back for. XL just got more targets because Sauce was on TMac.

      Trade for a QB?

      A starving dog is thankful for table scraps too.  Yes, the winning streak is nice, but going from bottom dwellers to mediocre still isn't the long term solution.  Enjoy the now, but don't lose sight of the future.  Some of us know this is not a model that can sustain us forever nor deliver us a championship.  Teams will eventually lock down our rushing attack.  Our defense will lapse periodically.  There will be a time where we need a QB to play 'hero ball'.  We don't have that type of QB on this roster.

      He came off the bench he should have been in the game from the start, he was coming off a historic 2 game run you ride that momentum and see what happens. That rotating series b.s is just cute it's not how football is played and won. Chuba can spell Rico but why force 50-50 split when the production isnt split?
