Reminds me of when someone left a leaf-blowing simulator a review “can’t sex the leaves” and it caused the dev to make a sex update to a leaf blowing simulator

Outrageous! It’s terrible what people can force devs to do. I would like to apologize for my fellow human’s behavior personally; can you give me the name of the game and/or a download link? Or at least some screenshots, so I can, uh, be further outraged.

For a laugh, review games on Google Play. The asinine responses you get…
The most ridiculous one was for a pay-to-win bullethell game WITH NO BULLETS. You literally just effortlessly shot at enemies with virtually no way to die. But you could pay stupid sums of money for a better ship which killed enemies faster.
The dev’s response to my review calling their game overpriced and boring? “Join the discord so you can get tips from top players”
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well we need an update… Did you join? Did you get any good tips???

The tip is: Buy the bigger ship.

I too have played MMOs.

I was thinking more in line with Paradox games, but your version works too.
BluesF@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Every MMO on steam is at mixed with negative reviews from 1000 hour players lol. Stop doing this to yourselves!

i got in a fight with a small-time dev when they implemented marriages in a rogue like and allowed child marriages but not gay or interracial marriages
long story short the community exploded and he went full nazi on twitter and now the reviews are actually more positive but from 4chan weirdos calling child marriages based
BluesF@lemmy.world 6 months ago
What game was that!? Why does a roguelike even have marriage lmao

At this point it’s “unmoderated comments section” moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.

TriflingToad@lemmy.world 6 months ago
did they literally just imply that adding same sex marriages that the user has to initiate is the same as living under religious oppression?
june@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.
GottaKnowYourCHKN@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes. That dev is changing the WORLD by fighting against all the woke jealous stupid libs who think you shouldn’t be able to marry a child.
Smh. I’m so sick of these straight white dude Nazis acting like they are fighting thousands of years of oppression.

This was in 2016. But there was a indie game from a small dev in a European country that allowed backers to name NPCs, and there were some racist names. I called that out in my review, and the Dev went, “It’s not racist here in my country.”
That led to a back and forth on the Steam forum which I got banned. Then I shared it on Reddit, but was stupid to use the same steam name as my twitter name and got a lot of toxic shit.
I changed my steam name and tossed my twitter account, so no idea what happened, nor do I remember the game.

VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 6 months ago
As of CK3, same sex marriages are allowed with a game setting, and I know same sex affairs were a thing in CK2. Enabling same sex marriages will disable achievements and at first I thought it was about historical accuracy, but it’s actually because it trivializes inheritance management.

Mercuri@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I will say that games aren’t static any more so there are legitimate reasons why this might occur. For instance, I had over 100 hours in a game and then the devs decided they liked money more than their player base so they retroactively added a bunch of micro-transactions to the game. The game had been fully released at this point and they just updated it to milk more money out of their player base.
BluesF@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I think some people keep playing the same game long beyond the point where it stops being fun.
AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Why are you conflating time in a game with the game being good?
CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.
TriflingToad@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Once I reviewed a $3 game and got the dev to add the frog character in the sequel lol

I left a negative review on a “AAA” game and the dev responded to it by gas lighting me that I didn’t play it right.
TL;DR starfield sucks

Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.

Gta 5 doesn’t allow linux users to play online anymore. Everyone from the linux community shat on them, especially because it was one of the top played games on deck. Where are my rockstar replies? Image

Rockstar is just asleep on the big pile of money that they got from the 100 people that bought shark cards every month since the release of GTAO and RDRO

DiogenesOfMiami@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
The joke is that people (including the main character/OP) feel comfortable criticizing others when those others don’t know about the criticism, but as soon as they do, the anti-confrontational/cowardly/etc. part of them immediately regrets being critical.
P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 6 months ago
Thank you!
Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
I always try to keep my reviews constructive for small devs. So far, they’ve always appreciated the detailed feedback. I’ve had a few where I completely changed my reviews after they fixed my complaints and let me know about the update.
