Well would you thank Randy Pitchford, Gearbox Software and the other studio responsible for Aliens: Colonial Marines? How would you feel after hearing Randy's response towards the negative criticism Aliens: Colonial Marines received? And there response to the negative reception Duke Nukem Forever received? Or what about the developers behind Mighty No. 9? And their response "It's better than nothing" after the negative reception that followed? Or No Man's Sky, where the Sean Murray practically fibbed about it? Let's not forget Bungie's own Luke Smith, and his cringeworthy interview with Eurogamer. Where his exact words were: "If I fired up a video right now and showed you the emotes you would throw money at the screen."

Edited by GrundleBeans: 11/16/2017 11:50:26 PMNone of that changes the fact that they're still PEOPLE and some gamers act like completely unwarranted assholes who lack real perspective on life vs games. When a developer receives half a dozen [i]personal death threats[/i] over some part of a video game, you can't point blame at the developer and say he/she deserves it or it means you lack good perspective yourself.

Death threats are flat out stupid and I don't condone them. Anyone that direct them towards developers have no business playing games at all. Yes you're right. They are still people but that doesn't mean that they're immune to any criticism. Especially in an industry where criticism will always be given. But there are some who can point out the flaws without being an entitled asshole about it. They speak on these issues because they care and want it to succeed.

Yes, but the point is many are [i]not[/i] those non-self-entitled assholes. Many are acting like complete assholes, not just concerned players giving feedback. No one should be insulting or sending death threats just because of a bug or boredom with a game. Too many gamers don't have sound perspective.
