It’s funny how really good games somehow never have this problem.
Apparently the Principal Skinner meme is not well know enough still.
Every release in every type of media has this problem, it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad. There will always be vocal haters who weren’t going to consume the media in the first place
Sensitive much?
He probably isn’t wrong but when you present your work, it will be subject to criticism. Even if the criticism is annoying as fuck, it’s going to happen.
Games should be criticized and if companiess don’t like it, they should make better games instead of being greedy assholes that churn out overpriced enshittified half-finished garbage.
Yeah if you dont want criticism then you cant publish. Just play it by yourself with your dev team lol.
Like bröther you are trying to sell something, people will look at things before they buy them duh???
There is still a legitimate reason to debate about the tone and intention of criticism.
Problem is that enough people who receive fair criticism and can’t handle that, call it unreasonable and unfair and thereby muddle the debate massively.
The era of features no one wants seems directly aligned with the era where CEOs openly insult their customers.
I was into it until you assholes shit all over Overwatch, and I’ll complain about it as much as I like.
Also, fuck Activision and Blizzard.
Taste in games is subjctive. But there are 0 reasons not to voice personal concerns about the game. If we only accept positive feedback, it makes it super easy to control public opinion?
Hear that sound? It’s the sound of the other shoe dropping.
For years we’ve suspected that these executives have been making soulless games not for gamers, but for shareholders.
We suspected they didn’t give a fuck about gamers; here’s one actually saying it.
“We don’t need to hear that you weren’t into it” was also a common sentiment expressed on Epstein island, now that I think about it. Maybe someone should search the Trump-Epstein files for this guy’s name. And either way, pay close attention to him in the future. This guy may be going places. Hopefully cell block one.
- Huge empty map. Check.
- Base building. Check.
- Mining. Check.
- Fortifications. Check.
- Horses. Check.
- Guns. Check.
- Multiplayer. Check.
- Not giving a fuck about feedback from people about your tone deaf game. Check.
The spirit of highguard lives on
Where did they talk about the game aside from the mention at the beginning of the article? This isn’t a breakdown of the game they’re making.
It’s a breakdown of a guy leading the production of a shitty game complaining about people who speak negatively about shitty games without paying for them first.
The most generous interpretation is that he knows his game is going to get shit on from a great height and it’s already bothering him.
The link in the article takes you to the steam page for the game, has a trailer and the rundown thereof
Only thing the game page doesn’t clarify about is PvP, makes it seem like the multiplayer is more coop than versus but I can’t speak to the availability or lack thereof
Not that I’d be enticed to go dig deeper if that’s what they want to tell the world before their game is even out.
Anyone who says “no one cares” knows that everybody cares.
This has happened before and it will happen again. Jeff, just stop complaining and carry on with your life.
He made conversation during a live stream, he didn’t put out a public statement lol
We’ll see. I do give a fuck about what’s installed on my computer. Some complaints are worth sharing, specially if they help other consumers and devs can later correct mistakes.
Having read the article and watched the clip they linked, I agree with him.
People are way too free with their criticisms, even when they haven’t even interacted with what they’re criticizing in any way.
Yeah, for the people that read the article, it’s obvious he’s talking about trolls, not actual players of the game.
Kaplan was also the reason overwatch was ever any good, and he fought to keep 6v6 going and was fired for pushing back against the ceo
People are also apparently interpreting this as a public statement and not an offhand remark he made during a conversation on a live stream. I expected the media literacy to be better on the fediverse but I guess not
