This is one of those things where it’s something weird published April 1st, but it doesn’t feel over-the-top enough to absolutely be a joke. I have no idea if this is real or not lol

If a game hasn’t been fully bugtested, I wouldn’t consider it “done…”

The spread of “skill-based” matchmaking and ranked competitive ladders largely took away a valuable communal aspect of online multiplayer games, IMO. Getting dropped into a match with a bunch of random people you’ll probably never see again just makes things so impersonal, which can cultivate a lot of toxicity.

Some of the best times I’ve ever had with online gaming were from finding a dedicated server with settings I liked, hanging out there often, gradually getting to know the regulars, and becoming part of a community. I’ve never had that kind of feeling from a game with automated matchmaking.
