Smart, get people to panic-buy the game before it gets delisted, and then reveal a remake to potentially double-dip.
Conniving and greedy as hell, but smart.
Put down your pitchfork, they've already clarified that Mirror's Edge isn't getting de-listed, it's just having the leaderboards shut down.
It's says Mirror's Edge RTX Remaster, so my guess it's Nvidia project for experimental version of RTX remix rather than something EA made
Since it's also listed Arkham Knight RTX Remaster
I'm OK with that, I had a blast with Portal RTX once I got the settings dialed in. I felt the new assets were very faithful to the originals while still obviously being made to show off the ray traced lighting and reflections.

With this pompous attitude I'm surprised you managed gold in OW1.
It doesn't matter how good you are at analyzing statistics, these stats in particular do not provide a very complete picture of how well a player is actually doing. A support player can easily farm amazing stats by just pocketing their tank and still lose every game because they don't actually know how to prioritize healing targets or know when to deal damage instead. So much of the game is dependent on ability usage, and many abilities have major game changing effects that don't show up anywhere on the scoreboard.
If you want to know what you're doing wrong, stop fretting over stats and ask for a VOD review over on r/OverwatchUniversity. They will give you more constructive advice than you will likely get here. Just be prepared to find out that you are actually a bronze player and not just stuck in "elo hell". The good news is, you will probably get lots of great tips that will help you improve. I think most players with more mechanical skill than a walnut can hit gold or even platinum with an open mind, good advice, and a little practice. But none of this can happen until you stop deflecting blame on to everyone other than yourself.
Okay I get it:
Some stranger on the internet makes an unqualified assertion that's in my area of expertise = totally cool.
Me, knowing that I'm highly qualified in that area, disagree = arrogant.
Makes perfect sense.
The stats exposed to us are exactly what you need to get a view of your relative performance. All the objections you raised are tail events with heavily weighted impacts, but these impacts are specifically tuned by Blizzard to not overcome other effects.
Want to know how I know this? OWL teams don't rely on ults and critical plays to win. On average, it's steady fundamentals with opportunistic catches.
I have no interest in Puritan guilt trips
OWL is practically a different game entirely from bronze or even grand masters. You will climb a lot faster being opportunistic and making critical plays, because you cannot rely on your team to back up your "steady fundamentals".
But regardless of what level you are playing at, critical actions do not show up on the scoreboard. You see that nano-boosted Genji Ana just slept right after he popped Dragonblade? It contributed a whopping 5 damage and no healing to her stats. But it turned a lost fight into a won fight, and possibly clinched a last-second victory.
The number of bad DPS we get over in r/OverwatchUniversity who show up with good stats and insist they aren't to blame is sometimes awe-inspiring. When they post their VODs, it becomes clear that they do belong in the rank they are. I don't think we've ever had a case where it genuinely felt like someone was under-ranked unless they simply hadn't played enough games to reach their true SR.
Has anyone's experience with GameStop actually improved? I still get games with no cases and "new" games that have been opened. Even at the store they will open a case, put it in a plastic sleeve and put a new sticker on it.
I've been to Gamestop maybe 3 times in the last two years.
Nothing has changed. They still want to sell you "new" games for full price that come in open boxes that have sat on the shelf getting abused.
I just buy new games at Target or on Amazon now, and I do all my used game shopping at a local mom & pop shop. Financially, I've reached a point in my life where the trade-in value of games is not worth the effort of trading them in, and I'm really only interested in buying games used if they are old and out of print.
I'm guessing this quarterly profit is thanks to the fact that the supply chain issues impacting console production have been smoothed over, meaning people can actually walk in to GameStop and make big ticket purchases again.
this is a lot of words that aren't "torb"
Torb turret is the best player in the game!
If you are choosing to swap off Pharah it sounds like
any
hero will be a huge dropoff in skill for you since you probably have more hours on Pharah. In that case you just need to pick a hero to invest time into and accept that you will rack up losses while learning.
The dropoff is rather large. I was practicing with genji and deranked my way down to low silver, before climbing back up to gold again with pharah. When fighting high plat/diamond hitscan players, they can effectively zone me out of the sky (I have mostly stopped flying out in the open after being punished by high level players). The divebomb strat kind of works against 76 / ashe, but good cass players can take me out faster since most of the time I will take 2-4 rockets for the kill.
Guess I just got to drop the habit of swapping away from genji when the game is losing, and actually take the L during the practice.
Practice in Quick Play if you don't want to risk de-ranking so much. QP is worse for teamwork and overall match quality, but at your skill level you should have no problem practicing and learning new heroes there.
I also might start with some easier-to-learn heroes than Genji.
I tried to play Destiny 2 a few years ago, I didn't buy it, I just downloaded the free version from steam and started it. And while I enjoyed the overall gameplay and beautiful worlds, to this day I have no idea about proper progression. I didn't read any guides and mostly played solo or with random people. I jumped between different planets, ran around different markers on the map, did some solo and group stuff (there were these world events that were too high level for me, I have no idea if I did it properly), was carried in standalone missions by other people (raids?).
After a few days of playing I reached a point where I had no idea what was going on, my gear levels had almost no progression, I visited all the planets, a lot of events/quests were gated by paywall, so I got bored and left and never returned. To this day I have no idea how I was supposed to play, I don't know anything about the plot and I don't understand the game mechanics (there were so many stuff going on with gear). But the shooting mechanics, graphics and environment were so good. Overall - it was one of the best free experiences of my life.
It wasn’t any better when the game was new. I put about 40 hours into it and I never felt like I had a good understanding of what was going on ,or what my goal was once I finished the “campaign”. It seems like one of those games where you’re expected to just do the same shit over and over and over and over and over again.
The fact that Bungie felt they could just cut out huge amounts of story content without hurting the experience tells me just how unimportant the story apparently is.
If you want your rank private that's fine (since is cosmetic anyway) and a good chunk of people will use it to flame you if you aren't performing well. "Fucking silver. You suck, Uninstall the game" or "how tf are you diamond? You are garbage". But anyone who talks shit should immediately have their profile locked public. Get these cowards outta here that talk shit and hide behind private profiles.
Rank is the one thing that shouldn't be private. Not knowing the rank of everyone else in the match undermines the integrity of the matchmaking.
When we can see everyone's rank like in OW1, it's a lot easier to call Blizzard out when their matchmaker spits out shitty matchups.
looks good, but how is the theater screen? maybe it's the picture lighting but the screen looks a bit washed out
It's a projector, their contrast ratio is severely limited by any ambient light in the viewing area.
