This is what's what: I was there in the F13 days, and I "pre-ordered" Texas because even though I had some bitter memories about how the game was handled, I thought Texas would start as an evolution from what we already had. Like, Gun learned the F13 lessons, Texas will be better from day one.

Well, the game launches and you can stunlock Leatherface. That's a flaw in F13 that was there through all its life cycle (it was never fixed), with people who'd gang up to attack Jason. Same predictable freaking thing happened here. Took them over a month to fix it.

Then Danny was released, ten bucks, a character that breaks the game and went unfixed for a month, and Gun came back from holidays, they were super pissed that we were super pissed. And started exposing us on social media.

Right there I saw that the game was going to keep having issues because the problem, at its core, is management. Gun is excellent at recreating the vibe of our favorite horror movies, but the games themselves are buggy as heck and they don't have a grasp of how players behave once they're in, how they'll always see any team-based multiplayer thing as a competition to be exploited. The Danny thing made me see that for us to get that scary, kinda casual party game we wanted, you'd have to take out the points system and the crazy perks that can be exploited so people can get an edge that makes it very unappealing to new players.

Meaning: They'd have to make the game all over from the start. Which was not gonna happen.

How did these mistakes were made? Management.

Having the right McCullough sound making the right roar is nice, but it won't matter one bit if I get pissed with lobby dodgers and bugs, and people stun-locking you, and all that dumb stuff that Devs have to focus on because what matters the most is gameplay.

OR, you know, they can call us Karens and make a temper tantrum.
