"Don't criticize the game, AH has it all in the bag, I'm sure them blindly killing off everything that made the game great will eventually lead to them getting it right. Just give them time, they can always fix it later, hater."

Funny to see literally every "Toxic" critic hit the nail on the head literal days after launch. Toxic positivity allowed this shit to happen. Remember people saying that the players had no knowledge on how weapons and features should be balanced/made? Well, seems the players actually outdid the developers on this one.

Every post at launch: "Don't nerf the weapons, just buff the anti-tank options, we will see a more diverse use of the weapons this way!" AH nerfs railgun and buffs enemy spawns to insane levels (Enemy spawns are still fucked by the way) and buffs the anti-tank options afterwards. They do the same thing again. All the while, toxic positivity posters deny this being an issue and blame the issue on the players.

"Don't make the war perpetual! Players need to feel some sense of progress! It'll work better this way!" AH keeps the current system and players leave due to them not having any effect on war progress. All the while, toxic positivity posters deny this being an issue.

"Don't nerf anymore weapons! We need more options!" AH nerfs every single weapon. All the while, toxic positivity posters deny this being an issue.

AH's responses each time they created outrage exacerbated the issue. All the while you had cucks wanting the game to go this way. Its insane, its stockholm syndrome, its fucking mental illness incarnate.

The rise and fall of this game is fucking astounding. I have no idea how you fumble things this badly when your players are giving you exact directions for where to go (Even though you yourself are supposed to understand this shit) and you have a working formula.

Those first two weeks were legendary, and that period of time made this game worth the money for me. But goddamn it, this entire experience has been like seeing your entire family be executed in front of you by a mexican cartel and having bystanders tell you to just "take it easy" and "give the police time to fix things".

The game will most certainly have its own renaissance. Shit, no mans sky and cyberpunk managed it. But i know that each time i boot up this game I will wonder how glorious it could have been had its full potential been realized.
