I feel it’s essential to acknowledge the place such avid gamers are coming from. These gamers aren’t doing these items as a result of they assume that they’re the simplest technique of making use of stress to the publishers, they’re signing petitions, calling for boycotts, and attempting to prepare as a result of they care very deeply in regards to the sport/franchise and really feel like they don’t have any different means of constructing their voices heard. Such issues are acts of desperation, not rationality.
ALTI actually want there have been higher methods to interact with them, as a result of it’s clear that they really feel very passionately in regards to the sport/franchise, however the actuality is that there are sometimes a number of extra context in our decision-making course of that I want they might perceive. However that’s the unlucky fact of the matter – they don’t have the form of info we do informing our selections, they usually have completely different objectives than we do, and there isn’t a means (but, to my data) to reconcile these form of variations at scale.
ALTPersonally, I attempt to keep away from the temptation to dunk on these avid gamers even when they may have an overinflated sense of their very own significance to the franchise. I choose to hope that there’s one thing we will (ultimately) supply that’s to those gamers’ tastes whereas staying inside the constraints which can be the requirements of the enterprise.
