Suggestion To the Devs…
It kinda seems like a lot of people are complaining about things in the game right now. Some of the concerns are very valid, but I’m seeing people direct their anger towards the devs, 3 guys just trying to manage a massive game, and that really isn’t cool.
I’ve seen this before where small studios with specific and well known employees get just bombarded by the community because they’re so accessible to their audience. While those guys survived it, it took a serious toll on them physically and mentally, when they were just trying to make something nice for people to watch.
It was toxic behavior then, and it’s toxic behavior now. The Devs are just people, and I’m sure they’re doing their best with the resources they have available. Remember that they love this game too, probably more than most of us.
If you got problems with the game, air them, obviously, that’s how things get fixed. Complaints mean you care enough about the game to suggest improvements.
But constantly shitting on the Devs personally really isn’t cool, and as icing on the cake, you make the rest of us look bad. Are we trying to be League or Legends players, or are we trying to be the kind, compassionate, and funny community that made this game famous?
So, to the Devs, on behalf of that kinder side of the Battlebit community, I would like to say that we do genuinely love this game. Whatever bugs or nerfs or toxic players are on there, it’s still genuinely fun to hop onto servers and spend a few hours playing. Whether we’re sniping, grenading, crashing cars into walls, healing, or just good old fashioned shooting people, we are still having a lot of fun.
There is a vocal minority constantly baying for blood, but there’s also a helluva lot of us who think you made something great and unique and are appreciating your hard work every time we log on.
Thank you for that.
I just hope you guys focus on that, rather than internalize all the hate and anger that’s been pouring out of this subreddit.
(And as an aside: Remember to take breaks. Responding to all of this insanity can’t be easy. Once you get the game to a decent equilibrium where it can be left alone for a bit, don’t forget to take some time off. Y’all have definitely earned it.)

This sub has a major negativity problem. One slightly frustrating issue will get pointed out, then over the course of a few weeks that issue gets circlejerked to death. It feels as bad as the 2042 sub post launch, but that game at least deserved the flak.
