So online required 24/7, no lending games, no used games, basically the original Xbox One Microsoft wanted to launch which then got shit on by everyone. Now the question is, will consumers shit on this, or eat it up even though they were against it years ago?

Streaming-optional sounds amazing and I’m all for it. I could have all kinds of fun with RPGs and strategy games on the go.

Congrats on triggering the same angry entitled commenters as these poor devs have to deal with.

“organizing and giving feedback”

Did Anthem not brick consoles at or close to launch?

You are conflating the idea of levying valid, reasonably-delivered criticism with the issuance of death threats and needlessly profane rants.

No one is arguing that you as the consumer do not have the right to voice concerns with the quality of a product for which you have paid; we (and the article itself) are arguing…

This just makes me think of the people who sent death threats to Tomm Hulett of Konami because Silent Hill: Downpour’s fog was less dense than they wanted. Ugh.

Nobody is saying you can’t give negative feedback to devs. They’re saying to cut out the hostility and flaming. You can just as easily type “dude, this game is unfinished and that’s really disappointing, idk if I’m going to buy from you guys again” as you can “FUCK YOU WITH THE UNFINISHED GAMES i’m so SICK of EA and…

The number of people I’ve encountered who are hostile AND don’t understand how programming, AAA development, creative work in commercial environments, or narrative structure work is ridiculous. It’s completely fine to have an opinion, and some things will naturally make people angry, but the amount of bullshit devs…

There’s a big difference between feedback, and hostility. The community manager’s reply was to a very long, post that did a good job at being constructively critical, and even prefaced it by acknowledging that there are people on the other end, and that he was going from a place of good. Unlike some comments that call…

You can easily get a refund on a video game if you keep the receipt!

You realize that community managers are different from devs getting involved to have a constructive conversation with fans, right?

Best take right here.

“Wahhhh i just wanna be an asshole they should take responsibility for their actions but i shouldn’t wahhh”

You sure showed them. And people wonder why devs never "listen to the fans"

Also paying $60 for something does not grant you the right to insult, threaten, offend or scream at the people who made it. Its possible to criticize products without sending death threats or making someone else cry. Not directed at you, but at the other dude.

No fucking shit. Gamers can be some of the most entitled assholes ever. Why the hell would someone want to engage with spoiled shits who armchair game develop, as if content and features are as easy to make as a meme template.

Reciprocity. People traveling to the U.S. visa free have needed an ESTA which works the same way as the ETIAS. There is no terror threat coming from the US to EU; that is just not the way terrorism has worked, not that it isnt way overblown to begin with. So because the U.S. requires visas from some EU countries and…

That is probably the biggest thing for me. I’ve bought more games on GoG than Steam the past few years but I have accrued a larger collection of Steam titles because of HumbleBundle and GreenManGaming.

Yeah. It really is weird that so much of the US is made to benefit the large corporations who treat people like shit, and so little is made to benefit the actual people living there who vote for the politicians. I find it quite shocking for example that the US has no official paid holidays. At all. Zero. It’s all up…
