Not sure where the official announcement of this happened, but videos and discussions of the game are now finally allowed. The game is still invite-only, but expect to start seeing it all over the place now. Popular streamers are already jumping into it.
I turned them off on the first game 😓. Honestly the pings are good enough, though I wish there were more options like "Behind you!" or even clock directions.
My biggest hope is that it'll have support for community custom servers. If it does, then there'll be a refuge from the toxicity; but if they don't then I have no interest because yeah, it's gonna be super toxic.
