There's actually a specifically cooperative expansion for Carcassonne, called Mists Over Carcassonne. It adds an element of managing a ghost population while trying to cooperatively reach a target score based on certain scenarios.

Some human ones are also just actively really bad at it. As both a manager and applicant, I've seen they can hinder hiring good candidates.
If we're copying Witcher 3 levels of content anywhere, can we leave behind like 95% of the ocean based points of interest? That was the absolute lowest point of the game for me by a mile.
Marvel Snap serves up poorly hidden bot matches and penalizes you for leaving as well. For example, they "reset" the ranked ladder every month, but retain their hidden mmr, and people with a really high mmr are MORE likely to face bots, because the system is designed to align your rank with their MMR, but if you leave the match, you forfeit what is essentially an ante used to determine your rank. But everyone gets some bots, and the amount varies based on several things, basically all of them manipulative to the player and their rank system.
It feels like assuming a lot of positive intent to guess that the match against bots is so that people can learn rather than trying to feed them a dopamine hit so they don't get discouraged and fuck off, but maybe I'm a cynic.
It probably has to do with the inability/expense of the facility to be able to properly secure outside food against other more serious kinds of contraband.
So for 1, here's a pretty explicit quote where he does speak out against the harassment "I call on everyone to reject harassment in all its forms." @cynicalbrit (first comment).
Definitely unfortunate that while he was attempting to champion the cause for a discussion on ethics (which he had been involved with for years when that all happened), the mantle got co-opted by a bunch of terrible people. But at best I can only blame him for thinking he could right the ship at that point, and that's not a large enough mistake for me to define him by.
He definitely didn't "yell into camera", both because he was just projecting his voice (I'm constantly confused when people can't distinguish loud from yell) and most videos didn't actually feature a camera shot. He was known for a lot more than his criticisms for devs for things like 30 FPS locks: he was an excellent color commentator for SC2, he prolifically provided coverage for indie games and was a huge consumer advocate.
As he relates to the topic at hand, he was a giant reliable source of gaming recommendations of his day and it's disingenuous to suggest there haven't historically been highly influential, reliable and quality creators to assist people in discovering games.
WAY better than anything we saw a decade or two ago.
I take offense to this on behalf of TotalBiscuit, otherwise carry on.
Sure, but for those that have to have it a long queue is better for them than no queue.
They could easily put a toggle on so people can choose to enable cross play, off by default. If console folks want to subject themselves to people using mice, that's their own fault, and nobody who didn't want to would need to play with them.
There might be other reasons for the delay that are more contractual in nature to get sorted out.
Check out MiniReview, I've had better luck there finding game of certain types that I'd enjoy.
Just wanted to add, for the fully cooperative Heroquest experience, they came out with an app for the new edition (but it's compatible with the original base game) that fully takes over the Zargon/DM role.
