Kinda fucked up how multiplayer games are a well guarded industry and to innovate you either do indie shit, or you're barred by insane upkeep costs and business models.That's why innovative multiplayer succeeds so rarely and fails so much.

I think the biggest reason why is Lobby Systems.Lobby system ruined EVERYTHING.It created what is called "modern sensibility" that people grew accustomed to and now you can't succeed with just dedicated community servers.

Lobby in it's modern form ensures, for example, that if support for the game is dropped, then the game is basically dead.If blizzard decides to close overwatch there's ain't shit you can do to play your game after that.

Competitive mode built into games is cancer too. It eases access into more serious play for people who were never interested in getting serious in the first place: just interested in stroking their ego.

To see what I mean, look at tf2.Built in competitive is boring and full of randos not doing shit, which makes experience worse.Pickups and Mixers required a certain level of interaction and knowledge, which made the whole experience better.When playing on tf2lobby I had a pleasant experience even loosing, with current competitive it's pain.

@DeiruI really miss the community servers with custom maps and game modes(that weren't Saxton Hale). I feel like every time I look through the list, the only populated servers are some variation of, PLR, CTF or VSH.
