I am out of the loop. What Dax?

Even then I am not sure, if it can keep up the wonder and horror. It will work only so many times.

I would love to experience the sequel like I did the original, but not sure if it is repeatable.

The entire gambling lootboxes were massively popularized by Valve, turning Team Fortress 2 from pay2play to predatory gambling.

The New York Times, that's why. It's a paper which drastically lost credibility.

FC are just social groups, not raid content. For that you should recruit statics or communities which organize old synchronized content.

FFXIV has quite literally a Fellowship and Community Finder to look for groups which have similar interests as you. Be it Mahjongg, Role-Playing, Try-Harding old content or seeing for LGBTQ interactions. And the rest is done over Discord, because that is for sure a better communication tool than whatever the game devs can come up with. Even the content thing is not true. There is seperate content which absolutely requires cooperation, schedules outside the cookie cutter main content like Bozja and Deep/Criterion Dungeons. More similar to old school MMOs. I'm fine with a diverse array of content.

That headline is deeply appreciated.

What else should the PR department say?

Indeed, that is what is so baffling for me. It is called, marketed and perceived as something very different. It is Second Life, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV and others. You have a certain core in which the audience is interested in and then social constructs form around them. These modern Metaverse things try to skip the entire core part, but then it just becomes a chat app.

It is overlooked because filesharing gets you into trouble and Plex is for various reasons the much more evolved alternative.

Could you explain what this community was about?
