Re: The negative press for this game is getting ridiculous

Now they're pushing a petition. For shits and giggles, might as well make a super-easy "Journalist" difficulty that's the same game, except all the maturity replaced with full-on edge just to really piss them off.

Honestly, there's no pleasing these people. Even when you give them their "easy modes", sensitivity warnings, and "strong independent transgender female person of color who don't need no man"; they're don't honestly care because they can't play the game, they won't play the game, and they won't buy the game. They just want companies to make products that appeal to their political feelings and opinions, and everyone else be damned.

Exactly what can this so-called petition make happen? :roll: Other than make it known that 5000 people don't want this to happen?

Devs, if you're listening, the best thing you can do is Ignore these social justice types. Make the game you want to make and the true fans of this genre will support you. Don't repeat what happened 10 years ago when the mainstream made this into a controversy.

Negative press can be demoralizing to a development team but just know for every person that says something negative there's a whole community of us dedicated gamers who have your full support and are looking forward to the future release of this game.

I feel one of the ways the devs and publisher could deal with this negative press is a public condemnation of the pointless warfare being done in the middle east, not directed at soldiers or vets mind you, who mostly are signed on to protect their own country, but on the governments of the world that continually persist in the needless conflicts for little else but more power and influence in the world theatre.

What's that really going to solve? Practically everyone has condmened the wars in the ME since the anouncement of "mobile production facilities". And, you cannot really call the wars "pointless" when the reasons they're happening is boiled down:
  1. Oil and other resoucres
  2. The identity crisis Islam is going through, where you have the zealots following their religion to the letter, and the remaining populations wanting to follow and embrace Western progressivism.

Re: The negative press for this game is getting ridiculous

There is a lot of negative press however I think this was to be expected. The community manager is handling the situation well. There's always going to be people who disagree with you no matter the topic. Just because the 10% is making the biggest noise doesn't mean you should listen to them when the 90% either supports you or does not mind.

A lot of the people who are joining this hate train are most likely not your target audience in the first place and they're mainly reading bias articles without doing their own research and forming an opinion by themselves. Twitter & Steam forum are a toxic cesspool.
