We are the champions
Champions Online is out, and I must confess a bit of interest in it. Sooner or later they’ll get around to giving out free trials like civilised games do, and then I’ll give it a whack.
I notice, though, browsing the Steam listing, some amount of shenanigans. Take a look at this:
From the splash on the Steam front page. Nothing unusual so far. Do people really care how many hachieves there are?
But then we notice this once we click through to the listing:
So, wait a minute. 75 !> 160. But it says I can view the list, right? So I do. And the list starts with this:
Now, 184 > 160. I can handle that. Though why the splash didn’t goddamn say 184 instead of "over 160" I cannot say. But where the hell does 75 enter this equation? The internet’s magical answering machine was less helpful here. So it is a mystery.
Oh, one other thing:
While supplies last? Fuck the heck?
