Yes it was. 100%. It was pretty good bait though right?
I think queue times were up due to steam maintenance as well though.

1984 was a really good year. I'm sorry to those of you who didn't have the luck of growing up in the greatest decade of modern history. I barely even recognize this world anymore.

The reference was to the book 1984 because..nevermind. It was a great decade, i was 10 that year. Lived in middle of nowhere texas. I think the town had maybe 100 people, surrounded by desert. Got my first bb gun that year as well, no cactus was safe.

I've been around for what's inching towards half a century. I got the book reference. :)
But yes, that truly was the last great decade in my opinion. There was virtually no political correctness and no one cared or got seriously irate about it. We had a president who won the 2nd-greatest landslide in the history of presidential elections, carrying all but 3 states the first time and all but one state the second time. We had Garbage Pail Kids, Masters of the Universe, M.U.S.C.L.E., every kind of gimmick candy you could think of, the boom of personal computers and the rise and fall of the home video game market, everyone dressed however they wanted and were free to be themselves, everything was neon, and music and movies all rocked.
This reminds me that there's a really good, really overlooked horror movie called "Summer of '84".

But it wasn't clever or even relevant to 1984, so why that title?

You had to be there i guess.

The book "1984" is about a dystopian society where free will is suppressed, censorship is rampant, and brainwashing is a part of everyday life.

The novel is one of my most treasured pieces of horror fiction. Perhaps it can be added to Dead by Daylight?
❤️ Have a good one miketheratguy

That's what I'm saying. How is "Now go play this game." relevant to 1984?

Most people say the decade they grew up in is great. No offense, but the 80s had more than its fair share of problems. People have been pining for the “good old days” since ancient Greek times.

It was a joke, a mislead. He was referencing the controversial topics that showed up today and then, upon clicking the title, revealed that he was just screwing around and said to go play the game and forget the drama.
You're not wrong, no decade is perfect. But things were just so different. We didn't have the vicious political tribalism that we have today (again, the president won 97 percent of the vote, which will likely never happen again. The message from the government was one of peace, working together, hope. Individual personalities were allowed to shine. Personal fashion was allowed to run rampant. There was no 9/11. Mass shootings weren't a regular thing. Gangs and drug cartels weren't destroying entire cities. It was a decade of character, of self-expression. Things were just more carefree, more positive. It wasn't a perfect decade, but it's as perfect a decade as I've ever experienced.

Just play killer. Instant lobbies and the liberty to choose what SWF group you wanna face.

It’s give and take. Sure we have many problems, but we also have more widespread acceptance. Reagan completely ignored AIDS and lgbtq people, built massive debt, and did things that massively widened wealth inequality.

He did increase the debt but he also reduced inflation. As for AIDS, you're correct that he should have done more but to fair the public at large should have as well. It wasn't really until after Freddie Mercury's death that people started to (slowly) take it seriously. And to be fair LGBQT was also still a somewhat uncommon concept among the mainstream, people of that culture were still fighting to be recognized as equal. It would take several more presidents to really understand that homosexuality was a part of nature, not a chosen act of debauchery, and laws made to start recognizing it as such.
That said, we probably shouldn't talk about real-world politics. Not that I'm blaming you, I'm the one who brought it up. Either way you're correct, every decade is give and take. For me, the 80s was a much more innocent, happy time to be alive. People didn't hate each other the way they do now.
