Comment on BattleBit - Operation Overhaul: Teaser Trailer
Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 days agoBecause G*mers need a constant stream of news telling them that their current chosen favorite game is actively being worked on lest they forget and “move on” to something else.
I swear, the sheer amount of bullshit (complaining about character models, character pronouns, character creators, literally anything else) I see from gaming communities and subreddits is actually ridiculous. G*mers are literally the most entitled people on the goddamn planet.
This happened for me with Back 4 Blood.
Turtle Rock said “Okay, we’re done developing content. We’ll move on to new things now.” And people took that to mean it was a failed, dead, and worthless game. Whereas the active state where they left it was pretty solid, still runs, and I have a lot of fun with it. It just wasn’t built to be endlessly live-service.
That’s kinda my point with my previous comment. If the devs say they’re done working on a game, most g*mers will take that to mean “stop playing our game and find something else” which makes literally zero sense.
You presumably spent money on this, let alone however many hours playing and having fun, and now just because the people who made it say they aren’t adding anything new in the foreseeable future you totally drop the game. But I also kinda meant in another sense for stuff that’s actively in development.
Take Elder Scrolls 6 for example (or even Cyberpunk 2077): the announcement trailer came out 7 years ago, and yet there have been other projects in the pipeline as well, such as Starfield and other updates for other games. You will get a constant stream of posts from impatient G*mers complaining, bitching and whining, coping and seething about “the fact that there’s been no news of Elder Scrolls 6 for years.”
My response always has been and always will be “then go make your own game and see how easy it is to make it do all the things you want”
Downvoted for censoring “Gamers”. Go back to TikTok.

Or the developers created a roadmap of updates in 2024 for their early access game then disappeared without any warning and didn't deliver on their promises. It's not the end of the world but writing negative reviews because the developers didn't deliver any promises isn't entitlement.
