historically been very vocal about questionable decisions that provide far more value to the business than to the gamers.
Maybe true historically - but in recent years publishers have figured out a formula to subvert criticism (review embargos, sponsored reviews, reddit astroturfing). There's no action after the complaining, it's all bark, they still buy the game, little bit of heat on reddit/twitter but then you still set sales records. See The Division, No Man's Sky.
- voltagex_ 10y agoThe Division has had a major overhaul though - partially in response to the criticism.
- ad-hominem 10y agoTrue, but everyone who played it quit. Probably at least 90% of its playerbase.
