We knew it wasn't going to do much new, but is it worth playing at all?
The industry seems to be peeling back a bit from live services...does that mean they're on their way out, though?
Hackers, League of Legends MMORPG project and more!
The online component is actually kind of puzzling in its own right...
enough interest in who kills the last boss first to turn the race into a pretty massive and entertaining event with livestreams and casters and sponsors. WoW World First is organized by organizations like Echo, LIMIT (now Liquid), Method and few other small ones and NOT Blizzard themselves. Blizzard up until the last race actually never even acknowledged the race. They did it somehow in the last race by sending some tweets and that's it. Saying repeatedly that they are somehow better than SE, in that case, is simply wrong and not true.
