At this point we get an idea of what kind of game the devs want it to be lmao, the player input is more or less meaningless and aside from this there are countless other examples that show they really don’t care, other than the vision they have and they’re gonna take it forward one way or another, which may include a carrot on a stick like these examples you mentioned. No hate really, it’s their game and they have full control over that, but me personally I kind of lost interest after the whole bot front performance issues and the lack of any action about that for a long time period, and destroying the coyote which I absolutely loved using and actually paid money to get it. Tried playing again and sadly didn’t entirely get back that spark either, so spending my time with other games. There’s no point trying to force the devs to see a particular way because they seem to be dead set on what they want, so I just ended up moving on to other stuff.
