There was a great twitter thread from a guy who sat down and played with his kids to try and figure it out (I can't find it, so I'll summarize). He was surprised to find few of the kids were playing with any seriousness, but rather just hanging out in it and talking. For many it's become a social hub more so than a just a game.
Not to derail this into "kids these days" territory or anything, but that seems to be a huge part of the appeal. I was talking with a friend who has teenagers and he said it's fascinating. His kids have 5x the social circle he ever did, although they rarely actually meet up all that much. Kids move to different cities and countries, and it doesn't actually change a whole lot.
I'm pretty far out from being a kid, but I would say at least 40% of my social circle all hang out in the same Discord and as a result I get to chat, swap memes/pics and play games much easier than I did even 10 years ago.
So, AGDQ was last week - anyone watch any of it? Anything good to watch? So far the best thing I've seen was the Sonic Mania Plus race, lots of lead changes and really tight finish.
The Mega Man race was good and also enjoyed Super Metroid reverse boss order.

The Mega Man X Relay Race (which I think is what Raekwon mentioned) was really good, and the Sonic 1 run was really fun.

Curious, does EA have a bullet proof contract that Disney is unable to get out of for the rights to SW video games? I feel like it is one area that is not exploited as much as it could be.
SW games should be among the most popular in the world. Imagine how much fun a SW MOBA would be.

It might be the other way too. I can imagine EA wants out of that deal as much as Disney. If you read Jason Schrier's book "Blood, Sweat and Pixels", it sounds like Disney/Lucasfilm is a huge pain to deal with as every change has to be run by them when it comes to Star Wars. Sounds like they get a big cut of profits too.
Like a cross between Destiny, Mass Effect, and Iron Man. I'll wait to see how it actually fares after release before deciding given EA and BioWare's recent history, but hopefully it improves on the failure that Destiny 2 was
