In my very first job as a bartender, it took me almost a full hour to prepare a couple drinks because I was by myself at the bar and had zero experience. I felt like shit afterwards, but at least all guests liked the drinks.
Imagine if they paid me in advance and I said it'd take a week!

they probably become distant because they get bombarded with comments by us, and it doesnt even need to be toxic commentary. if you got 1000 DMs a day it would be straight up impossible to answer all of them. you might say: but its their job to listen to customer feedback! - maybe it isnt, maybe they have got a feedback department, maybe nobody looks at feedback, maybe all the forum-interactions we have with the devs are just happening because they want them to happen. because they DO care about their fans. but it can get quite annoying to keep answering the same questions and having to deal with criticism that you cant answer or isnt even your fault. if i was a dev i would probably just be annoyed by the people and try to do my work as good as possible and thats it. theres a pretty high chance that pdx is just understaffed

Stellaris players know this isn’t the first time an official patch shipped with #TODO. 2.2 Megacorp started a trend, it seems.

We are working to have the 1.31.1 patch out as soon as possible. I will not try to excuse any issues going around as I prefer to show with actions rather than words that we take matters seriously.
I do see some reports in here however which I suspect may be caused by outdated mods, like crashes almost immediately on starting the game. So please make sure your mods are disabled until updated to avoid problems.

It's what EVERYONE should do. We as the customers need to make a point that we won't put up with this kind of behaviour. If they keep profiting from these tacticts than their company culture won't change.

Let's not advocate for abusing workers. I'm sorry your sector is like this.
As for PDX management, please don't rush releases. Give your developers more time, they can't be working at 100% speed during a pandemic, while forming a new studio.

The Devs are the least responsible people for this mularkey. If you want to blame someone blame the greedy corporate stooges greenlighting/forcing the release of unfinished products and driving the current business agenda at Paradox.

Why did they even touch the progress reform formula?

Please take as much time you need. I'll not die if I need to wait for a few days, weeks, or even a month.
But, PLEASE, give us a working game then.

We are not forced to work, we are willing to do so. It is called responsiblity and decency. If tens of thousands of people rely on your software, you do not want to let them down.

And you have evidence that it was the case with this release that the higher-ups said release it even though it's FUBAR? Or was it just incorrect information from the dev team to the higher-ups about when it would be ready then cowardly NOT telling the higher-ups they needed to push back release because it isn't going to be ready on time? Both of those are very real possibilities.

Reddit is reddit opinion tho, notoriously low bar, although mods here do a fair bit of censorship, although it's more on ck3 than other sub forums

Personally I did it because I don't think it's worth 20€ after having taken a look at it. I will rebuy it when it's on sale.

For the real world the backlash of customers anger is much more tangible than in gaming, and pretty much in every civilized country there is an authority that deals with product quality. In gaming there is little to no such thing, broken games or DLCs upon release are trivial. Now imagine releasing a car in a similar state, a surgery equipment, building a house that falls down.
The issue is the world wide web, it has little overseeing authority. Because if you expect companies to behave without a Damocles' sword over their head, think again. If Paradox would be fined, be sure that the top brass will enforce a high quality product policy upon release.
Else, who cares? The wage is the same, vacation days the same, so why bother?

either way, dont harass anyone. everyone is allowed to criticize, just dont make it personal/insulting. its not that hard to contain one's criticism to the product.
Yes I know about betas but by copying the game folder to another location I can play an older patch by launching the .exe from that folder (with a shortcut) and also I can check up on the newer up to date version where it originally is in my Steam folder. No time wasted with switching with downloads or updates getting in the way.
