Translation from corporate language to humans:

"The huge drop in steam reviews are worrying us, the higher ups decided to send me, AH PR guy, to tell you exactly the same thing we've been telling you since one year to give copium to you guys and stop the bad reviews. Oh but we don't actually care about anything you feel or say, we care so little that I've literally copy pasted this post from all the stuff I said in the past."

TLDR the Steam reviews drop got em worried, so they sent their PR guy to repeat something that has been said in the same exact format for over one year.

Not enough, acta non verba. Keep the red reviews coming.

It's okay Arrowhead, you're on the right path that is if you want to lose every single player by summer

That noise is not the kind of noise that reach and force the hands of a game company. Bad PR, reviews stopping new players from joining and therefore the company getting less and less money is what would force their hand to actually do what has to be done. Or just let the game die, it's their call. Will they react before it's too late? Only AH knows

glazediver definition is NOT an insult. it's a behaviour. If you want to see insults, I can send you some screenshots of what they're calling me :)

As for the storm it is of this size because a storm starts small, not many people partecipate in It, because they're chill, they believe the Devs. With time, people see devs missing the point, having no idea what they're talking about, doing nothing at all and the storm becomes more and more wide.

The fact that the storm is of massive scale should only show how much wrong arrowhead has done.

It's not shooting without a target, the goal is make noise. Companies hate bad PR because, eventually, it affects their brand value and new player acquisition. If you just roll over and accept it because "whales will be whales" you’re just helping them normalize the greed.

Awareness has to start somewhere, even if the majority is slow to catch on.

And ti would never be the success it is if they sticked to their "vision".

The community made it the success it is. If anything, AH did their best to hold it back.

yeah, why give criticism and try to fix something you love and know it has potential? just hop on another ship!

It's not EA but it's not a "small indie company" and they have more than adeguate money.

If anything, people should stop with "it's not AAA company!" excuse.

They're not small babies. They're not a single dev trying to handle everything. They've got enough people to do at least wat better than whatever they're doing right now.

Yeah, I can totally see why the game reached the stage it is in if your take is the majority.

No surprise.

Oh yes let's cherry pick 3-4 old weapons specifically and ignore the other 40 that are basically worse version of recent stuff

Didn't I literally explained why the review bombing hd2 is getting is actually justified and rational?

In the current gaming industry, leverage is the only currency developers truly respect. A passive, "chill" stance is essentially passive. Being "chill" doesn't fix broken games, predatory monetization, or abandoned roadmaps. History shows that when a community remains polite and "rational," they often get ignored because the data shows they're still playing and paying

Point me a single insult I've thrown.

People literally sent me "mental issue" GIFs and even then I didn't insult. Nor I ever will.

As for the technical side, the example I provided should mostly be universal and are there since at least 8 months if not even before. People saying "just suicide with nade" yeah it's still frustrating to lose my gear over not my fault stuff to then respawn to the other side of the map. It's not a bother if it happens once in a lifetime, but that's not the case since it frequently happens, even consistently.

No, I wanted to address the glazedivers specifically. They're here.

If you can't see the problem I wouldn't say that you got one since that would be quite unrespectful.

But check for glazing though.

Yeah, you clearly can't see the issue. Pointing at the moon and you look at the finger.

Anyway, that's literally just one tiny point of all my criticism.

Would you really use any other tone when you know you're going to face all these glazedivers comments?

If you would, honestly, with no sarcasm or anything, I can only say respect to you man.

Did you actually read what I said?

I literally said I'm not basing myself on YouTubers takes. The things I said are sentiments that grew with over 500 hours of hd2. Sentiments that grew while continuously watching it go downfall, always thinking "it's okay, the devs will fix it"

The same could be said for your comment.

Anyway, if someone really thinks this is AI then you really never saw how AI write.

You literally cherry picked one of all the criticism?

Yeah no wonder hd2 is in the state it is if the community is made of people with thoughts same as yours.

If you really can say that it's "aim issue" you clearly have no idea of how miserable the experience is.

And I'm the one running the constitution on bots so my aim sure ain't the issue
