nothing is funnier than seeing huge masses of gamers having One Major Complain about a game that's about to come out and repeat it over and over as THE deal-breaking thing, meanwhile you (gamedev) are like "buddy that's not even in the top 3 of things that are wrong with this game you're all gonna forget it was even a thing that bothered you by the time you actually have the controller in your hands"

#thoughts #gamedev #deactivated the reblog because #me posting this is bad praxis #but #it is very funny #(tbh I think gamers have by and large very strange priorities and hyperfocus on shit that literally does not matter)#(or is integral to the vision/the specific experience provided)#(also I'm sorry but unless the fps drop makes the game unplayable or consistently annoying I could not care less)#(if the experience is worth a janky framing I'm able to forgive almost any jankiness personally)#(sometimes the jankiness enhances the experience even! looking at you oblivion!)#(“is the game fun and why does it have soul does it speak to you do you feel enriched” is so often??? left out of the conversation???)#(to be perfectly honest a whole lot of gamers don't really respect games that much imho)#(expecting the experience to cater to them instead of being willing to meet them where they are *and then* assess and discuss)#(this medium suffers from such a lack of curiosity and introspection across the board it's genuinely exhausting)#((sorry I'm in a very sour mood regarding the game industry in general right now so!!!!))
