Alright, to start I think yall took this a little too seriously. I tried to keep it silly enough, but maybe I do have gynocomastia, who knows. And Dust could have really destroyed my marriage. I think we can all agree that's not out of the realm of possibility. But obviously Dust didn't kill my dog. He wasn't murder taxied, he wasn't involved in a fatal Python training accident, and the CPM didn't come to my house and beat him to death. Maybe it was the gender neutral thing. I know a lot of you are young, in college, maybe still some in High School. You take PC culture and that micro transgression stuff to heart. Maybe it got you a bit riled up and you didn't read the post with a clear head. Silliness people. Silliness or f*ckery, whatever you want to call it.
But I did say you took it a little too seriously, obviously there was a bit of seriousness to be had. I'm just gonna go down the list here.
First off, DA that picture is me on the nose. That pic says more than my words ever could.
As I said before (quickly, I was at work) I'm not looking for an apology for closing the forums, but a rough apology for the treatment of the playerbase. Just a simple "hey guys, we know it didn't work out, but thanks for playing the game and hopefully we can give you something new soon". That's it, no details. Of course, if that's so outlandish, the thought of wanting the devs to get on here and actually be social for more than 1 post is just as, if not more ridiculous. Also Photon Gear sucks, I'm a Clack Scout kinda man.
On the topic of me deserving all my suffering and bringing it all upon myself, that's 100% accurate and cannot argue it at all.
I'm aware that most of the original people who were on board with CCP for Dust are gone. However the whole debacle is tied to CCPs name. If I go to a restaurant and get sh*tty food the manager doesn't say "what the f*ck do you want me to do about it? I didn't make that food". They say "oh man I'm sorry, let me straighten this out". Obviously there is nothing in our current situation to "straighten out", but I would like to think you can understand the analogy. CCP is a business. Decisions made in EVE 12 years ago had nothing to do with anyone involved in the game now, but CCP is responsible for anything and everything EVE, Dust, WoD, Warframe, and Valkyrie related, regardless of who was there and who is there now......
And they still would like me to give them some of my money if at all possible.
It is nice the forums were left up, but the effort required is extremely minimal at best. And if it is true that these forums are coming down when the EVE forums get switched, more than likely it was just easier and more convenient for CCP to take them down together, not any sort of niceness. Also, if it was an apology for simply shutting down the game, it would have needed to come a bit after FF14, not May 2016.
Again, I know the current Devs are not the ones to blame, but in the interest of PR and retaining maybe just a little bit more of a playerbase, maybe typing 10 to 20 words isn't such a big deal. I'll only mention this once here- I don't feel like an individual dev tried to scam me out of money, but I sure feel like CCP tried to. I'm not sure if CCP worked for CCP back then, but I know CCP works for CCP now. And I personally get enough shots in on CCP whenever I feel like it, if a blue tag actually did get on here and say "hope to see you guys again someday" or whatever I might throw a playful jab, but I'd keep it civil, and I would respect the attempt.
Not directly related to any of your responses, but you've all held Rattati up on high like the second coming of christ. I know he had nothing to do with anything, but really? This holy figure, this Cadillac of men, can be troubled to make a sentence long BS post to try and pretend they're thinking about maybe doing some damage control one day?
Lastly the devs did suck at times.
Look I'm in no way expecting any kind of apology what so ever. I think from a moral and business standpoint one is called for, especially with the tone deaf attitude CCP continues to maintain, but we will never see it.
Honestly the only part that really does irk me is the continued blind faith and praise heaped on CCP by you people. That's right, I said it, YOU people *points wildly in all directions*. Not all of you, I kid. But more than enough of you are willing to take CCPs d*ck out of your mouth, maybe even get up off your knees and take a couple steps away. But you won't actually let go of CCPs d*ck. You'll stand there and say it doesn't taste very good, but as soon as someone asks why you are still holding onto it- *slurp slurp slurp* right back to work.
So sad, so sad. |
