Could be worse; could be Vista, 7, 10, 11,

At least 8/8.1 had a good UI

Heat of the moment, not everyone you don’t like is a Nazi

At least those are the excuses I’ve seen

Your scale is way off, the whole scale should be between right of centre and far right

Yeah, Lemmy is just a worse version of forums. The federation really hurts it

They get a large enough audience for disinformation campaigns

Once you see people start defending Russia it’s over

You’re a decade late on that, Bing isn’t good anymore

They asked what they can do

It can be the same as they do now just without the damage

You can message your friends without all the misinformation and self-harm promoting algorithms

I can’t find anything suggesting the game was released prior to 2008

Riot released some video at sometime talking about how they had to cram to make the game even playable prior to the sales pitch so I really doubt it was made before that

They invested before it was released, what are you talking about?

Tencent paid for it to be made

Edit: upon research you are talking about when Tencent became the owner. Not their investments to have the game made.

Not mentioned in a Washington Post article but

“ Over the summer of 2008, Merrill and Beck’s work seeking funds proved fruitful and the two landed $7 million more in funding from Benchmark and FirstMark Capital venture capital firms.”

/+ 10 mill from Tencent and prior to launch Tencent gave another 10 mill to buy out those investors

You can listen to Riot themselves

They aren’t bringing in new players, their playerbase is just getting older

Which explains why they’ve made it less mechanical demanding and more about positioning over the years

RIOT is an American company that was bought by Tencent.

Sure but it ignores that Tencent gave $20 million to create LoL (first 10 then another 10 to buy out the other investors)

Never was that popular

COD and Fortnite are much bigger with the latter even making sports radio talk

The popularity spike was when MLG needed to fill in the Halo Reach spot due to that game’s lack of appeal

And the owner of Riot Games is Tencent, that and WeChat stick out from the rest of the list because they are owned and developed by Tencent instead of just Tencent owning stock

More likely they would leave the market. That game isn’t really popular in NA but it’s the most popular non-mobile game in Asia

Weird, isn’t that the only Dell brand people view as worth having?
