Rothary/ANT and i got banned more or less for criticizing the way the devs handled the game.
And when we tried to understand why we got banned/get an explanation, EVERY dev/mod ghosted us, we had long friendship with people like Mr.Nobody, who just decided to never answer to us.
We forced them to give us an answer invoking the GDPR legal thing to ask them for every infos they had abous us, to find out they banned us because "we just dont like you" and they had 0 proofs of the said bans justifications (which was more or less that we harassed the devs, which we never did)
Since it happened, we created the forum.brickadia.org because they never unbanned us from discord/steam/twitter, so its the only way we can freely post content related to the game, and we wont accept to talk to any of them before they publicy apologize to us.
i think this is why they get hit with the creep allegations so hard
users in sandbox games need to be able to breathe and put it simply just be able to have fun. it fosters creativity and is how you get the best out of your user base which is obviously life blood to brickadia at this point on account of its user generated content being the most fun anyones getting out of it right now. a lot of that fun and good ideas be it gmod or blockland or minecraft or roblox or whatever comes from being able to be crass and make jokes. for example that zombie map:
Uh, yeah, the Annoying Orange quote and "zomali learning center" are tribal jokes. The rules say no tribal jokes, they did tribal jokes, go figure.
it is very transparently clear this guy had zero intention of tribal undertones. even if he did who gives a forget? that rule should only apply to what gets uploaded to the community section. you want to bar it from that fine but dont take his server hosting privileges away thats just handicapped and going to foster bad energy in the community. why even have rules like that across the entirety of the online experience? to protect kids or something? so they can garner a childrens game userbase? im sure its just so its as marketable as possible so they can make the most money but judging from the accusations (which will never go away if they keep pissing people off) thats loving scary lol
its also stupid from a business standpoint making bad blood with users like sylvanor on account him and his people are single handedly building the most impressive thing in the game. all that marketing material and the connections that could be made gone to waste just cause some no-no words were said. its genuinely upsetting that such a promising game is being handled by people like that. (unrelated but charging 30 dollars right out the gate for early access. that was real cool. very swanky move lol)
im only so critical because i really want to see a successor to blockland do well and brickadia obviously has a lot of skill put into it, but these guys are fundamentally against what makes sandbox building games fun in the first place and they are
begging for failure if they continue this way.
