I wonder how it feels to engage at that level with a community which almost universally abhors your product. Any Oracle devs around to comment? ;)

- dijit 6y agoNot sure if it's the same, but I make video games for a large AAA publisher. We're mostly disliked, and you can't shy away from the comments about it, because ultimately, while there may be undeserved criticism and horrible things said (incompetent devs this, greedy publisher that, worst company in Europe etc;) some of the feedback is genuine and you have to look for it. It hurts, honestly, you pour a lot (understatement) in to making something, and so do the people you work with (and grow to like) and a lot of decisions are made that are in the best interests of the users, ultimately. But people love to hate. Which is weird, because I really hate oracle and wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt, even knowing my experience.
