That guy sure had some noble, lofty goals of cleaning up e-sports - apparently single-handedly. But with a complex like this I can't help but laugh a bit at how he became the very organizations he lambasted. At this point the majority of these start-up e-sport teams are either run by wide-eyed owners who have "passion" but don't understand business basics, or are scammers looking for a quick buck to exploit progamers.
And then you have traditional business people who look at sports like Dota 2 and are unwilling invest long term in an Esport that is totally controlled by Valve. Short term, sure. But nothing that last longer than a year or two.

He single handedly ruined Canada's chances of becoming the mecca of ESPORTS, ruined the trust investors have in this sport and ruined the opportunity to chance the public perception that Dota players are not basement dwellers, they are Lebron.

Into the breach is gud. It doesn't have anywhere near the replayability of FTL, but its such goddamn good, clean design.
I wanna monhun but ironically i converted my console gaming friend to PC master race, and about 2 months after getting a PC he sold his ps4. So now we gotta wait for pc release.

I will be rebuying MH for PC when it comes around. The game is to good not to. You need to get to high rank in the game solo before the multiplayer become viable due to some poor design BS, but that doesn’t take long. And every weapon being viable is great, because you just want to use them all.
