  • I get where you’re coming from. And I agree that most cosmetic content should be available in the store even if you missed the season.

    However, it’s okay for some content to be exclusive to the season or event or whatever. Given that the defining feature of exclusive content is that it’s … exclusive … those items are not coming back. And that’s okay.

    People need to get over their FOMO. It’s okay to not have everything. You’ll survive.


  • Tbh, I’m okay with exclusive (cosmetic) seasonal content.

    Games are expensive. A good online multiplayer game requires a stable revenue source and a huge active player base. Seasonal content is one of less scummy ways to achieve both. It spreads the costs better than milking a small number of whales and it incentivizes the average player to play on the regular.

    Imo, losing out on a skin cause you didn’t buy/play a specific season is decent trade off. You don’t need to own everything you want.















  • The dude is right though. The most important part of being a programmer is designing an elegant solution. That requires talking the problem through, solliciting feedback, getting ideas… you meeting with ppl and talking to them.

    The second most important part of being a programmer is realizing that you’re not doing this alone. Once again, you talking to colleagues to discuss what they can expect and when, likewise what you need and when.

    Meetings are super important. Unless your a code monkey or if it’s office gossip or me having to spend an hour explaining why a job estimated to take 4 weeks will not be done next Friday. And no, “trying a little harder” or “realizing how important this to the client” isn’t going to change that.
