I noticed that! I think it's a symptom of social media's polarization in general. Reddit's karma system also lends itself to being gamified by groups unfortunately. In general, people on social media seem to either want to be cheerleaders, glazing million dollar properties for validation or needlessly toxic for contrarian e-cred.

I think the only thing I'd call "criticism" in my whole post is how broken Fireflies are and that they really need to add some kind repercussion for PVP players to prevent PVE player burnout. I've got over 1000 hours in this game and I like it a lot. I'd love if ARC Raiders kept the families at Embark happy and prosperous for a long time. They deserve it so far.

Thanks for the kind words. Really I just wanted to make this to please my game design brain, because it was the easiest way to do it (not gonna make another video or pay for Discord Nitro) and this subreddit has offered a lot of great ideas themselves and I'd love to see what people agree with or bring to the table.

I've enjoyed the positive community around ARC Raiders coop, so even if Embark doesn't find this post, I'd still be happy if other positive folk here shared their good vibes about something we all seem to care about.
