Some subset of people will be into this game. The rest of us can just ignore it. No skin off our backs.
Oh Lord, and he thinks it’s unreasonable for people to complain about this?
Look, he’s not really wrong per se. The internet does run disproportionately on outrage, and plenty of people judge shit that they’ve got no right to be judging because they don’t actually spend time thinking about what makes good art. But another multiplayer open world survival game? Really?
For all that internet jackasses love to shit on anything and everything, you really shouldn’t be surprised after giving them such an easy target, Jeff.

Were it that Kaplan’s comments had not happened, this is likely exactly what I would have done. Not really a concept deserving of a lot of attention, if you ask me.

Looks very pretty though. And is there currently a Western open world survival game?

Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2.

I wouldn’t know. But I know there’s already a lot of open world multiplayer survival games competing for this space, and so it being in a different setting isn’t going to do it a lot of good. For that matter, neither will it being pretty, since that describes loads of games these days, and gameplay is almost always more important.
But personally, I only care about this sort of thing when it starts getting treated as the metaphorical golden goose egg, which this isn’t. I wouldn’t bother to comment on the game if not for Kaplan complaining about negativity that, in my eyes at least, should’ve been expected.

If Red Dead Redemption is anything to go by, there’s a sizeable and very dedicated audience to immersive multiplayer western games.
