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

you see, gamers will bitch & complain either way. if the game is perfect, they will flame the devs because it’s too perfect. if it sucks, then they’ll complain of then AND then they’ll meme is infinitely for you because of how bad it it (the worst games are usually very successful for this very reason). any influencer or streamer in this space will tell you that: if you hate the game, stop playing it - stop buying the skins, stop giving them money but they won’t they won’t stop playing OR paying - they’ll continue to do both WHILE still complaining and bitching about it the whole time in the forums and across social which is just beneficial to the game so at the end of the day, the devs mind as well take their wallets because they’ll never get their happiness and they sure as hell won’t get their support we’ve done it to ourselves and it won’t change bc gamers are inherently entitled brats

such a shit pill to swallow especially because i started my game and designed it specifically to combat the greed that killed our industry but the reality is: locusts no different than crypto users. crypto actually faces a lot of the same problems as the gaming industry but that’s a story for a different day
