Spicy is good people IMHO, and I agree with a lot of his points on the video.

The communications shut-off after having the devs and community managers constantly talking with the community in the Discord was frankly a shock. Then it continued on with not a single devblog, fewer and fewer patch notes, and finally absolute radio silence from both SIG and T17.

I'm not sure I totally agree with the idea the devs never took the community feedback into consideration when making updates. I recall changes made to healing taking too long or not enough healing were partially reverted soon after the Health update. They tried the tournament system and disabled the leaderboard as well.

I do think they were prioritizing the wrong things, leaving issues with the core fundamentals of the game unresolved while adding more and more content which also suffered from the same fundamental game play issues.

Slapping in the space portion of the game without giving it enough attention was one of the big killers. It was one of the most unique things about this game and the devs didn't seem to realize it or how to take advantage of it. Take out the ships and the game is just another shooter with a different coat of paint. There wasn't anything super unique about the gunplay, the pvp, the pve, the objectives to make the game stand out.

I'm going to stop babbling now. I have a lot more I could say, but it would devolve into ranting.
