Are you streaming right now? Because I would like to watch, but it appears you are offline and it is an hour and 13 mins past stream start time. Thanks!
I have a feeling that this will become pretty crazy!! If there is time I think it would be cool to have everybody sing jingle bells or something lol.
That is my 40th birthday (yikes I'm too old lol) and I've never missed an episode but being from the UK it means at that time of night it will no doubt make little sense to me and be very blurred after the celebratory drinks I shall be downing lol!

Maggie, is everything okay? you seemed to be quick to take offense and take all criticism of PS2 personally. You would ask the panel for input, and as soon as any of it was negative or suggested changes, you seemed to get upset and go on rants that did not address the issues that the panel was raising. relax. listen to what players are saying. think about why they reacting to the game the way that they are. respond in a less defensive way and consider that the critique that panel members and other commenters are making might be valid. love and respect.
After the recent PU:2 Launch issues I can imagine things may be tense throughout the PS2 Dev team which is more than understandable considering the amount of stress and controversy that had followed. The flame on the forums resulting from the changes of PU:2 could also be a little daunting as well. I would just say that the PS2 Devs have enough feedback for the week
Stopped the recap at about the 2 hour mark. I have to say awesome job Maggie shut those guys up! My brother always whines about X or Y and I always have to tell him "they have priorities and right now its optimization" or "optimization remember?" I have to remind him that his individual and specific wants are not a priority for SOE but they will eventually be addressed. People seem to not give you guys the respect and credit you deserve. Thank you Maggie and the SOE Dev team for the awesome work and the awesome game!
A VERY interesting FNO. I got a little uncomfortable during the later stages of the discussion panel. It is very interesting to see the frustrations of the players and the developers coming out. As a dev, I am sure the community often feels like an ungrateful, rebellious, sarcastic, misbehaving teenager who wants what they want, want it now, and rage when they don't get it all. As a player, the difficulty is remembering that no matter how involved in the game and the community you are, you do not work for PS2, you enjoy a product, and as much as they want to hear your opinions and experiences, you cannot keep questioning and accusing the developer for not doing what you want. Let's remember, the developers of PS2 are people who work (probably) 40+ hours a week to deliver us this awesome product. As someone who works in IT, even though I do not work in game development, I am very familiar with the development lifecycle and I know how hard it is to actually develop, deliver, and support products. I totally sympathize with the PS2 dev team, and it was really interesting to see Maggie remind us of our place. We do NOT get to make development decisions. We do NOT get to tell the devs how to do their job. But we DO get to participate and contribute to the development of the game, and we DO get to contribute our experiences to the process. This is far more than can be said for almost every game ever developed. Only now are we entering into an era of almost ubiquitous user involvement into development of games, where previously a developer delivered a product and MAYBE you got updates and patches to go along with it. Too many players do not appreciate how fortunate they are that the devs say ANYTHING AT ALL to them, or ask for their opinion at all! I am from an era where if there was a bug in a game you DEALT WITH IT or you STOPPED PLAYING THE GAME. Not only that, but this game is FREE TO PLAY!!! How did people become so entitled about a free product? This leads to a variety of social/political questions that I will not address. I really hope that none of the panel was offended or put off such that they do not continue their deep involvement in the game. I am a huge fan of all of the panelists, and I follow their YouTube channels and Twitch streams respectively. I think that they have a lot to say and contribute, and I hope they continue to do so. Just a note, this post is not a commentary on any specific panelist, as I said, I am a huge fan of each of them, but a general commentary on the community as a whole, which is far to entitled and should be much more grateful.
