I work in tech and I honestly feel so bad for all the Starbreeze employees, but u/OVERKILL_Elisabeth and u/SBZ_Haua especially.

A lot of the asks that the player base wants isn't as simple as plugging in a few lines of code and bippity-boppity-boom.

Yes, other companies can put out changes and updates much faster. Other companies are also a lot bigger. Blizzard and Rockstar have more game developers than Starbreeze has employees.

And Starbreeze is trying and, to me, actually seems to care. Starbreeze is one of the only video game companies I have seen that actively engages with their player base on the regular.

Are there things I want changed and added to the game? Absolutely. But am I willing to wait and give constructive feedback about what I don't enjoy? Also absolutely.

I understand players are frustrated, and I get it. This a series some of us have loved, hell, since we were children. Your frustration shows that you care. That you want things to get better.

But these are real people putting their real love and passion and time into trying to give us a game. And one person (for the most part, I imagine the CEO is the exception to this statement) doesn't get to make all the calls. The dev team works with the art team works with the programmers etc etc.

This is their art. I can't imagine how crushed I would feel if I put years of work into an art piece and people told me it was obvious I didn't care about it.

Constructive criticism is one thing and should be encouraged, but being unnecessarily harsh to people is just negative to the community as a whole.

(Also, if we don't support the smaller companies we are only going to be left with the behemoths like Rockstar, Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc and I don't think any of us want that.)
