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:
- 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
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:
- 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.
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.
