General Discussion / Re: Blockland wont get any bigger with all the negative reviews on Steam
« on: September 21, 2017, 06:57:33 AM »
Hey dingus, spamming a link to this thread in every negative steam review isn't going to help either.
There's basically two major classes of negative review:
There's a few leftovers complaining about corrupted graphics (thanks nvidia), and mac problems (thanks apple).
I can't really do anything about any of these categories. My mistake was not charging a monthly fee or implementing microtransaction cancer. I probably could have bilked the mentally ill for their parent's entire life savings by now and gotten the same number of complaints. Most of the vocal participants want the game to burn - with them in it. I don't know if it's like Munchhausen syndrome, or if they want to feel alive by suffering, or if their ego is such that they cant bear to let other people have a game after their done with it, or if it's just arsonist's glee reveling in the power of destruction.
When you ask people what they want in the game, here's what they tell you:
People will literally claim that there have been "no updates" since v21 (2012), ignoring dozens of updates because they're expecting an entirely new game - or something. There's no point in engaging with this.
There's basically two major classes of negative review:
- People who played the game for 5 minutes and couldn't figure it out
- People who played the game for 500+ hours and are mentally ill

- Revert back to version <whatever version was out when they were 12 years old>
- Bring back maps (so the game will look like it did when they were 12 years old)
- Implement some incredibly specific feature to satisfy my autism.
- Implement some never-before-seen technology and overhaul the entire game so it's basically a new game. Yes, for free please.

The master server is just a web page with a database. It's on a dedicated server with all my other sites now, but it could probably be downsized to a $10/mo vps. I'll keep hosting it as long as people are playing.

By my count this makes 24 keys you've had deactivated. I can't fix this issue because I don't have access to the source code of your brain.

A tech giant having the motto "don't be evil" is like a priest having the motto "don't forget kids" - Sure, it's a good plan, but why are you thinking about that so much? Most people don't need the motto.

Oh, you mean when he was soundly hoisted by his own petard? Holding someone to their own horrible standards to point out their hypocrisy isn't the same as advocating those horrible standards yourself.
I mean, I assume that's the implication that PhantOS is trying to make?
PhantOS if you're trying to accuse me of something just state it in as straightforward a manner as possible. We've already seen your mental gymnastics in action and it's pretty difficult to follow.

Principles are applied universally. "It's ok when my side does it" isn't a principle.
