Minh Le, the creator of Counter-Strike, talked about user feedback, the frustrations he faced, and how unreliable it is. "People that complain have no idea what they are talking about." Gotta read between the lines. 🧠

It's interesting that he believes a project's success is about 95% luck. Sometimes, all you need is the right timing, and you're off to the races.

most of the signal is in the fact that they are complaining at all, not the specific complaints they have. but if you hear the same complaint repeatedly, it's probably worth understanding where it's coming from.

he's good

Gaming

i’ve been a gamer my entire life. my family is full of gamers. all of my friends? they too are life-long gamers 

i’m also building a game, and spend most of my time doing so. as such, i’ve researched gaming history & its communities extensively; i’ve been in the discords, in the forums, the lobbies, etc. in fact, i’ve been openly conducting market research in the space & talking to many of its constituents for the last two years 

my biggest takeaway after all of this time, and one that i can now say with 100% confidence is: gamers are undoubtedly some of the worst people in existence

all i can say is: i understand 

i understand why bobby opts to please his shareholders over his players. i understand why EA doesn’t care that they’re constantly voted the most hated company in america. & i understand why every mobile developer immediately optimizes for profitability over gameplay or any other initiative

and that’s because the happiness of the player simply does not matter

i rift raged about this in this very exact context a few days ago

i mostly believe that if you build it, they will come - users don’t know what they want until they have it

I didn't think of that, but yeah, he probably was just like, "I'm so done with these complainers." 😂

The fact that he didn't check for negative values probably shows how frustrated he must have been releasing this 😂

First I should make ready my note book then watch it !!
Thanks a lot

Yup! This is why i don't talk about coins, pricing, dos and dont's. I know nothing! If i like something i join and i am ready to lose. I know there are risks. People experiment and i love that.

Getting underneath the feedback is the key. 

Who is the person giving feedback? 

What are their motivations?

Have empathy. 

What are they actually trying to achieve?

thank you for introducing the hero of my childhood ♥️ so glad to know that my unsung hero is a laid back, funny guy.

re: user feedback— builders/marketers should really pretend like a therapist listening to a patient. user's perceptions are their reality and you should be good at reading between the lines.

As a game developer of successful games, all the blood sweat  and years of hard work comes crashing down in first 10 minutes .. you need so many components to come together miraculously for a successful game .. beauty of game Dev is that is brings to earth even the most mighty and successful dev studios
