About That Whole Statesman Thing…

So I’ve been sitting on the news that broke yesterday about the next character arriving in MOBA/ARPG hybrid Master X Master: Statesman from City of Heroes. When it first was provided to me, I was pretty well dumbstruck. As a matter of fact, I’ve been dumbstruck about it for the ten-odd days I had to keep quiet on the matter.

But now that the embargo on the news is lifted, I can talk about my feelings about the matter. And those feelings can essentially be boiled down to a weird jambalaya of confusion paired with the desire to still see MXM succeed while also feeling guilty about having both emotions.

Sometimes, surprises ain’t fun.
