does everyone who manages to make mildly successful tiktok content about their game get dozens of comments asking for the game's name even though it's at the start of the video, on the end slate of the video and the first words in the caption, or is our audience just particularly illiterate?

Joseph and the folks at MMORPG are good people. Shoot them an email!
One thing we are struggling with right now at MMORPG is daily editorial/feature content. So I'm looking for more MMO-specific writers who have strong opinions about their favorite game/the genre at large. Email in bio if that's you. RT's appreciated!

This Is the Issue That Must Unite Democrats—and It Isn’t Donald Trump
It’s a problem that’s far more enduring than Trump. And any Democrat who isn’t serious about reining it in deserves zero 2028 consideration.

New from me. Interviewed Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe director Shūkō Murase about using SZA and Guns N' Roses as its theme, the "wow, cool robot" meme, and romance being a core tenant of the series.

This is the ultimate cost of letting Business Idiots control the media - you orient everything away from the actual product (writing stuff people want) toward making stuff that ranks high, that "goes viral," that "is optimized for social." And it either never works or only does so temporarily

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

The Solo Leveling Season 2 theme song Reawaker could have its lyrics changed to Sha-banana-ba-na-na-na-na-na... and it'd still be a banger.
Damn that Hiroyuki Sawano. He's so good.
I'm not even kidding. Try replacing the chorus.
