It's a shooter-moba. I have access and can invite. If anyone wants access, I will need to friend you on steam.
You can post friendcode in comment or PM it, I don't mind. I will add people then send invite, they're not instant they get sent in waves.
I have very mixed opinions on it.
Edit: I need your friend code. NOT SteamID. Easy mistake to make.
Editedit: If I missed you, poke me. Sometimes notifications are weird here.
Editeditedit: Looks like some of these have started to go through!
Yeah and I'd say that not changing anything kind of defeats the purpose of sticking a "2" on it as well. You can throw a graphical upgrade on an existing game without the number.
I think a lot of the community pushback is for that exact reason. People expect a different game when a 2 is attached, not a shinier version of the same game. I really don't know if any IP that's done this well from a marketing standpoint. Maybe OW2, but that's also been a trainwreck.
I don't know that I agree necessarily with your second point though. A big selling point for a lot of the live service games going through this process is a changeover to a newer game engine. You'd be surprised how limiting in terms of features, graphics, and performance it is to be on an engine that's over a decade old.
