- @naztynumba1 Someone did a pretty good job there, but that guy is probably one of the most used meme machines there is. On a side note, I wrote to Respawn on Twitter yesterday asking about the multiplayer servers for their games that are published by EA, if Respawn or EA is responsible for their upkeep. The "cry a bit on Twitter" part really hit home there. I'll be honest and say I don't expect the courtesy of a reply from them.
@ICA_CourierYes I would not expect a reply either, why bother when you are a some 5-star resort living the dream. Just release a couple new skins in a couple weeks and ignore all else
- @naztynumba1 Doubt they'll even do that - for us, at least. They might release new skins for Apex Legends 'as a show of good faith and appreciation for the fans', or some bs like that, though. It's incredible that they're daft enough to not see the Titanfall franchise for the massive goldmine it could be, but I assume they're being coordinated by EA to make whatever fast-selling, microtransaction based crap 'kids today' want rather than actually making quality games that'll live through the ages. That seems to be the current plague of the industry, to be honest.
Wow.. Holy Sh!t.... Did I really just listen too this...This is so sick!
It will not stand..
- @t1xx1 What do you mean? Or rather, which part do you mean?
The video took me by surprise. If they were trying to push my buttons they hit all of them.
Giving myself some time to cool off and reflect on the message, it dawned on me that a dev
that represents EA/Respawn would never go on record with that kind of information. I would
wager that it was either staged or faked. What do you think?
Thanks again for all the communication that you are providing!
- @t1xx1 After how Respawn has demonstrated how fans are equal to zero in their eyes, nothing is out of the question
@t1xx1The guy in the video has nothing to do with either EA or Respawn (aside that he might play their games on occasion, who knows). The same clip has been used in a ton of different contexts to make fun of some party or other. While the message might seem accurate, the subs in the video are as fake as Dolly Parton's *.
No worries, pilot! I'm happy to provide what I know.Edit: A bit of info on the guy in the video, for anyone interested.
Thank you. That makes complete sense. Basically, this clip is a container to deliver a message.
Who is the message for? Service provider or customer or both?
- @t1xx1 As with all these things, the idea is to get a fixed target group riled up in some fashion. In this particular version the subs ride the expressed disappointment on the player fanbase and takes it up to 11. It clearly reflects some of the worrisome critique shared about EA's and Respawn's handling of the issue on this forum, for instance, and since we're already heavily emotionally invested in this it triggers us. It's not entirely different from, say, The Onion. As for the intended receiver, I'd say it's for both parties. For the service provider it acts as a much needed slap in the face ("This is what the fanbase think of you - sort it out!") and for the customer it acts as a rallying cry ("This is how they treat you!"). Those are my two cents. What are your thoughts on this?
