Why wouldn’t the devs be stingy over 5 shards? They have to hand make the pixels in a factory, pay for inspection, packaging and shipping, etc. And is it really their fault? Maybe it’s the player-base’s fault for being so demanding all the time as if they’re customers expecting a properly maintained product. The devs are the victims if anything.
I'm always surprised by this, I know it's hard to believe but every part of any business and things they make/do has a value. Value, even of money itself, is an imaginary thing and can always be dismissed, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a value.
Yet other games frequently supply make goods when they screw up and yet those games don't go bankrupt over it or complain about it. You want to know what else is valuable? Our time and our money. And both of those vanish more and more as CG loses our goodwill or gives us yet one more reason to not trust them.
I have never heard CG complain about it.
We've gone several months in a row before not hearing from CG at all so can't say that's surprising.
Nope, I just looked and I see no gap in communication lasting that long.
Also, I can see you saying "bazinga" as you hit send on this one. Nice job.
I'm sorry you don't recall the months without a Road Ahead or a Q&A of any kind but it happened. Posting "title update coming out" isn't communication and you know it. It was a bulletin, not actual communication. Pretending otherwise is totally disingenuous and being intentionally obtuse. You can defend them all you like (as you always do) but that doesn't change the fact that THEY screwed up the mission. I didn't break Stand Your Ground. They broke it. Then they told us it wasn't broken, it was WAI which caused its own uproar (don't care if it was EA and not CG, they're a subsidiary of EA and if anything that just highlights how bad CG is at communication). Then all of a sudden a day later it's NOT WAI and will be fixed.
Capital Games has given compensation to all of us in the past for the most minor of bugs that only impacted a small number of players. Since transitioning into Capital Gains they've abandoned that approach in favor of thanking us for our understanding and saying they're sorry. They are the only game developer I've come across who finds "make goods" too valuable to be given to players freely when they've broken the game.
While we're on the subject, unless they starved Doja and Crumb for a month to compensate for the 5 CAT shards they passed out because of CG's inability to do basic math, I fail to see any loss they've sustained from a make good. Not doing a make good leads to their own loss of income as players decide to stop making purchases in the game. But hey, if losing face and no longer getting money from at least some of us means less than 100 crystals here and there (or 5 KAM shards) and earning back our goodwill I guess that's to be expected from a company that can't do math or any basic quality assurance testing on a massive title update. It also showcases exactly what CG thinks of its customers.
