  1. It's highest viewership was around 80,000 and that was when Black Ops 4 launched which is still pitiful numbers really and also inflated due to Blackout at the time. That also taking into account it coming in off the back of WW2 which wasn't exactly a proper or successful competitive game either so doubling low numbers for an overall low number is still not much of an achievement. It's barely pulling 1% of your average CSGO major. COD on Battle.net is already on life support due to lack of interest and it's even being overtaken by card games and other more credible brands built for competitive gaming from the ground up. Very ballsy of Activision to demand so much and plug this before the next COD game has even been announced too. I wouldn't trust Activision with that sort of money especially after their cutbacks and cutting HOTS without notice either.
  2. ...an eSport franchise spot in the COD League😂😂😂 Maybe if this was a decade ago and the franchise got its foot in the eSports door then maybe this would seem credible rather than laughable. The brand is in rapid decline, it's mocked as a competitive product, viewership is embarrassingly low and they haven't produced a game that's designed to accommodate this purpose since Black Ops 2. The fact league play arrived 4 months late in BO4 just shows how serious they take this aspect and the $25m fee also demonstrates how money-grabbing they are. Remember when they said the Uplink mode would redefine competitive online gaming... There is money to be had in eSports no doubt but anyone fronting this kind of money whether it be full or a partial investment really needs their heads tested. I can't see COD ever becoming a popular eSport brand and I can't see it ever returning to the presence it once held. Most of the publicity it generates now is negative and Activision have done themselves no favours in tarnishing the series as a whole. There's only a fraction of interested competitive players left too.
  3. Paul Scholes quits Oldham after 31 days. Jesus, even Fergie time over the years amounted to more than one month!
  4. Grid 2 + DLC free on Humble Bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/store/grid2-spa-bathurst?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1
  5. I'm really on the fence with this and I only have a few more hours until the game is removed from digital stores and locked onto uPlay and Epic for good. I found the PS4 standard version to be very rough and didn't try the PC one so that was also a silly move on my part as I'm still very much 50/50 and Sekiro drops next week. I'll have to make an 11th hour decision after Eastenders methinks😎
  6. Any funny or random YouTube recommendations that fall your way post here. I'll start with this beauty
  7. Seems it will likely be a streaming-only unit. It'll probably be a subscription service as well. Don't like the idea of streaming games - I know it's fashionable to steam everything these days, TV, music and probably soon to be food but games are a no from moi. I'd rather have a physical disk or a full digital download than some expensive data-chugging platform. The big 3 companies and even Soulja Boy have this market cornered.
  8. The event is 100% free.. ..if you pay $20.
  9. Coming to Steam!!
  10. Finished 1-0 to Villa and sweet revenge for the attack. During the goal celebrations I swear a Birmingham steward also kneed Jack and you can see him getting taken away by the Police also. Insane scenes all round. *edit - thankfully someone's recorded this bit too
  11. Jack Grealish punched by Birmingham City fan
  12. Out in a couple of weeks and looking good! Dunno how many Dark Souls fans are here but its one to keep an eye on. Media are really getting behind it too
  13. 16 more felony charges from the grand jury😎
  14. Tottenham have officially confirmed that they will open for Brighton or if they progress in the cup, it'll be Crystal Palace. They also confirmed that the ground will not be called the 'Nike Stadium' but instead it will be known as the 'Cillit Bang Stadium' after a deal was struck with the cleaning product company worth up to £1bn over the next 5 years.
  15. The game is available to pre-order from a host of retailers like Humble, GMG, CD Keys etc... but when it is released, it can only be purchased from uPlay or the Epic Store and wont be sold elsewhere and that includes the retailers that were selling pre-purchase keys.
  16. Oh god not Keys and Gray! Haven't heard much from them for years since the old lineswoman humiliation. I'm guessing they must be doing punditry in China or somewhere on the other side of earth?
  17. Forgot how amazing this game looks
  18. Spurs deny that the new ground is being called The Nike Stadium but we shall see.
  19. Nike Eh? Suppose it's better than being called The Dorothy Perkins Stadium😎
  20. Rennes 3-1 Arsenal
