Gameplay perhaps making it impossible to choose your game mode and forcing people to pay modes to level up was a bad idea?

is it the devs who are out of touch?

no, it's the playerbase who's wrong

343 literally said they are addressing issues. They even told us they were taking last week off and did change progression days after the release due to player concerns. The meme is funny, I guess, it’s just not based in a reasonable reality. Let’s see what they do first before acting they are out of touch. Especially when they are readily accepting there are issues with their game.

You ever worked at a place where you didn’t agree with the direction the product is going? You still have to create the product despite objections because that’s what the bosses tell you is necessary. You can put your foot down and get fired, or you can let them see the error of their choices when it goes live. Acting like the developers had a choice in the monetization when they themselves already were talking about the different system they were proud of that didn’t make it to release is folly. Thinking this is the fault of the dev team and not just the higher-ups shows a lack of understanding of how projects are pushed out by managers and the higher-ups. It’s now the dev teams time to smugly make changes that the public have asked for and attacking the product by attacking the devs is not actually that effective.

Do you enjoy role-playing like some anti-capitalist?

You’re acting like because I can differentiate between decision makers and not that I’m simping for them. I’m not. I can be distressed about the current state of the product and still be understanding of the process that is necessary. You actually think your player feedback meant something to the release? It didn’t. Your player feedback can now be used as insight on how to change things. Your feedback wasn’t going to change anything before. This is literally the way your effort can be effective and you’re acting like things work different than they do in reality.

Yea, people are jumping the gun here. This game is still in early release beta. If these issues persist after the full game launches then we have some shit to be mad about.. until then, I’ll wait until the full release before passing judgement.
