Like, Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon felt like, is it gonna have the sauce?

It had the sauce.

Night Rain was like, is this a cash grab?

It wasn't a cash grab.

It's just like, yeah, at this point, yes, I'm betting on Dustbloods.

Let's get story number three.

Hytale becomes the most watched game on Twitch on early access launch day.

This comes from Rebecca Valentine at IGN.

It's been a banner launch day for Hytale, the new sandbox game from the creators of popular Minecraft server Hypixel.

In addition to a surge of players and a lot of positive buzz, it shot up to become briefly the most popular game on Twitch with over 420,000 viewers.

Nice.

This was observed first by PC Gamer, who earlier today clocked that it was the most watched game on Twitch and the second most watched category, only behind just chatting by about 43K views.

At the time this piece was written, Hytale had dropped down to around 260K viewers, but it's still the most watched video game and third most watched category.

it's a heck of a comeback story for a game that half a year ago was thought to be cancelled entirely hightail made by the developers of wildly popular minecraft server hypixel was first announced in 2018 with an incredibly popular trailer and garnered plenty of buzz at the time riot games took notice invested and in 2020 acquired it entirely however hightail was delayed several times as its scope grew and just this past year was cancelled entirely by riot then in november

The co-founder announced he had acquired the IP rights back from Riot in an incredibly fast turnaround.

He and the team got the game ready for an early access release today.

What a story.

That's crazy.

In addition to the popularity on Twitch, Hytale's already made enough money to cover two more years of development, and its modding scene's already bustling day one.

I don't want to hear about Roger in Minecraft.
