you.. you right here is the problem with the current state of gaming. developers and publishers can do no wrong, and whenever anyone complains, rabid blind fanboy defenders shout them down as whiners and 'entitled moaners'... lest we forget this IS the company that lied about the downgrade, that lied about console preorder bonus exclusivity, and even shut down their official forums around the release of witcher 2, PURELY so that they didnt have to deal with questions or problems from the bulk of users during the release period... why on earth would you so eagerly jump to defend these guys, and attack the very group YOU are apart of (GAMERS, CONSUMERS take your pick), indeed the group that benefits YOU the most? the developer isnt on YOUR side, they really do not even care about you one tiny bit now that theyve got your money - why would you attack people who want a better scenario for ALL of us, and defend the only party that is the LEAST concerned with our satisfaction? CDPR are not 'good guys'... they're a business, nothing more and nothing less... and thats fine, thats THEIR part in the cycle... the LIMIT of their interest is in our paying of the product and doing JUST enough to try and secure repeat business - beyond that, they stop caring the moment they feel theres nothing more to be financially gained... and again, THATS FINE... thats their prerogative...
but likewise, its OUR prerogative to use our voices as a community to HOPEFULLY be heard, and let them know when we're unhappy about their behaviour.. THAT is OUR right, and indeed our duty.. its not whiny or entitlement to complain about quality or shitty work ethics... its our job to speak up and NOT to just sit back and shrug and say 'whatever, we dont care'...
NO ONE on this forum should feel the need to apologise or feel 'wrong' to fight for quality products and fight AGAINST shitty business attitudes.. its our duty to get the best we can for ourselves, because who else is going to look out for our interests? publishers? developers? give me a break...
And the fun part is that then these same people complain en masse when they get a broken game. LOL, They are so deluded. THEY are the cause of those "broken games". But naturally taking responsibility for your behaviour in this day and age is a sin, so it's obvious that it will always be the fault of someone or something else, whatever it may be. The important thing is that the blame is never on you and your actions, no matter how the hell did you behave for all this time.
If you watch at the story of the various companies you see always the same trend. A company started great, then it began making some strange moves. Some of the fanbase questioned the motives of those moves and they get attacked on mass by an horde of drug addicts that just wants their next fix caring about anything else. They get smashed down and addressed like enemies. "Shut up else we don't get our fix anymore", it's the usual response. Then things start to go more bad and bad, but nothing can be said, lest the fix stops from coming. Then, suddenly, a broken games or a mess of a game appears and so those same people have no more their fix. Suddenly all hell breaks loose and the blame goes on and on around but never to the drug addicts themselves, because they are too much in search of another fix to really understand that THEY were the cause of it happening.
