I along with my nephew was looking forward to season xi starting sometime today (along with the millions of others) and well we loaded it up and it got really goofy and wouldnt let us in due to a live event … well the event was the apocalypse thats been teased during the last few seasons

when it ended the start up screen went black and was replaced by a black hole

And here I am surprised that there is even an attempt at a storyline. I thought it was strictly a battle royale.
