For some reason I have the feeling that it's going to be difficult to get many of the people who are playing arena FPS games currently to listen to podcasts. Podcasts are quite popular in other genres of games, games that have a more mainstream appeal. Quake Champions or perhaps UT are the games I could see bringing more mainstream people, and podcast listeners, to arena FPS games :]

really nice video with great insight from all of you four. Will definately check it out again next Friday.

I hope it will have a new guest every week like you had PapaSmurf this time around.

I myself could talk a lot about UT4 and its problems but to be frank I didnt try it for about 1 year, I lost patience and hope with Epic Games after they started the offensive ban-hammer march on forums.unrealtournament.com and Discord to everyone whos vocal about the problems in UT4.

Wasteful

Lately there is kind of a spam on latest changes in UT over Discord but nobody is getting banned. Only few of insulters got temporary banned because they were talking fault language.

I know many people besides myself that got perm banned. I still follow the forum as a reader. Because im interested in following the progress of the game. I still follow the latest officials release notes for each patch and the supplied videos that showcases the new changes.

Believe me it doesn't take insults to get perm banned by Epic Games. All it takes is consistently pointing out the problems that remains apparent to everyone.

To give a concrete example - Laggy/Inaccurate mouse input.
Mouse input is a fundamental part of a FPS game. But your not allowed to remind them about this or other fundamental problems. You will be banned - If you do it more than a few times (and yes if you care about the game and follow UT4 and its updates for 2+ years it will add up to more than a handful comments).

Nomatter if the problem has remained consistent from day 1 to day 700-1000.
