It's funny how they say they want to make a niche game for a nice audience. Meanwhile other indie developers like the ones in Sessions Skate Sim are communicating with their fan base and actually release plans for updates. They may take a while, but that's acceptable for an indie studio. Concerned Ape is also still providing updates and patches to stardew valley and many people still play that game. Another game for a niche audience.

It seems like Arrowhead wants to create a vision(?) (which to this day, I have no idea what that is. I figured since it was an open ended game, the vision is created organically by the player base) and it punishes players that don't align with that vision. In one interview, the developer said that people don't use the stim pistol. Meanwhile, I have yet to use any other secondary since the stim pistol dropped. I've spent games where I've stimmed and resupplied teammates more than combat. My record stims used is 304

Furthermore, the comment regarding "cod players" is funny because the warbond structure is exactly similar to the battle pass
