I really wish people could stop equating a game clearly isn’t for me with bad writing/lazy game dev/it’s an unfinished game. It irks my goddamn soul to see that’s the default assumption when people don’t like a released game/realize it’s just not their thing & don’t just say that. - ThreadSky

No developer will ever be able to make the game you wanted it to be in your imagination. Games will never be perfect for every user.

Nor should games entertain what everyone thinks would make it “perfect.” Cause your perfect sure ain’t someone else’s.

also like... not every game is for everyone? it's okay to not be the target audience for literally everything

cypheroftyr.bsky.social•46 days ago

Yup, but sadly not everyone has figured that out.

1000% this. I still regularly talk about when the entitlement shift happened with regards to an artistic endeavour. I still believe that the Mass Effect 3 ending rewrite was a tipping point we have never recovered from.

Same, about ME3 actually.

It was wild to me that the backlash ended in the extended cut. There are lots of movies and shows that do things that don't vibe with me, that doesn't mean they need rewriting, people need to accept some things just don't work for them and move on, use that energy on the things they do like.

Any time I see folk with that vibe I count it as a red flag for MC mentality. Like, 'I didn't like this thing, and I'm the most important person, so clearly it must be objectively bad.'

I could not agree more :S The number of times I have seen that or the "This Show/Movie/Game is terrible" vs "I think Show/Movie/Game is terrible" one of the things that infuriates me to no end
