This right here ^^^ fifty times over.

As I respect your opinion on this. I've got to disagree somewhat. I've found the videos very helpful to learn new things. Sometimes on here, it's gets buried under nonsense. At least on those videos I can go directly to it, and not wade through everything.

Just cuz I have to ask, what exactly are you "wading " thru, the dev posts are always top of the thread, and easy to read.

I'm not sure this is a trend. They were utilizing the gamechangers to get answers out there from the first Q&A.

I agree. I live in an area with pretty low data caps. Watching video in hopes of actually learning whats coming up is not how I want to use the precious few GBs I get.

That said, I have nothing against it being available in video format. But I really wish it were available in a text post somewhere convenient as well.

Were these last 2 video pop ups in game not giving exclusive info that couldn’t be found anywhere else? The first one contained a lot of new info. I actually haven’t been able to watch the 2nd one yet, but it appears to have info I haven’t seen based on the preview.

Exactly. I have no problem with the videos being available, but I’d like a written form of communication to go with it.

I agree, sometimes videos are nice, but I don't always want to watch a 15+min video for something I could read in a minute

Yeah why not both, the vid and a summary on the form

Stuff like this. I'm allowed to have my opinion

Huh? The dev info posts have their own section. You literally don’t have to wade through anything other than other dev posts. I don’t even see these last 2 videos posted on the forums (they might be, but I didn’t easily find them). They were just linked in game. The last one I had to go to Reddit to find the link.
