Pro-tip: this isn’t a queue because the game is wildly popular, it’s a queue because of under-provisioning and poorly designed services that can’t handle a normal load.
I saw an ad for this on my console. It took way too much work to find out what type of game it was. By the time I found out what type it was I had seen a dozen negative reviews and no positive ones.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

First time trying a new game at launch?
Pro-tip: plann for queues and crashes for the first day at least.
Pro-tip #2: maybe read or watch a review before buying. That game looks terribad and reviews aren’t particularly good.
I played the beta and I really enjoyed it. Anyway not very helpful pro tips.

It’s unfortunate that your expectation is that a game won’t work at launch rather than us being able to control our own servers or whatnot.
Yeah it is unfortunate. But “hope for the best, expect the worst” serves me well in life and is particularly apt when it comes to video game launches.
