Like many other players, I’m frustrated. There’s so much we are asking for that hasn’t been delivered. But I want to try and remain civil despite what I WANT to say.
I worked in the gaming industry for several years. It’s a toxic industry to say the least. I understand that most of the decisions that are made are from people out of touch with the actual games. I’d wager that most of CG employees are equally upset about this RA post and the lack of communication. I’d imagine that Meathead, Crumb, or anyone else desperately want to implement/fix the issues that the players are asking for; it’s probably just not in their power to do so. It’s likely 1-2 people that are calling the shots from the top. So I basically want to address the hard work that I know CG employees are providing the game. So thanks for your long hours, low pay, and dedication to an angry fan base. My frustration is not with you, but with your boss’ boss’ boss. The one that everyone at the company hates to work for, the one that micro manages, the one that all the employees talk smack about. You know the one.
so this next message is for that person: stop treating your employees and fans the same way. You’re probably literally (albeit indirectly) killing people. Depression, anxiety, etc. it’s driving people mad. I ask for a tiny simple thing: just address the promises that we’re made. Even if the decision to not complete the gear crunch was made, can you at least tell us that? Something like “we’ve looked at the numbers and we’ve decided not to move forward”. Just address it, stop giving us the cold shoulder. It’s not that hard. Yes people will be pissed, but we already are so it’s not anything new. Just communicate. Yeesh.
