I certainly don't think it would be at all helpful to CO/PI if we just kept quiet and failed to buy it without saying why!

which is why there's a subforum "suggestions/feedback" dedicated for all the criticisms and suggestions. The forum is relatively big, and this way it's more organised.

and when developers decide to search for feedback and suggestions, they can immediately head over to that sub-forum and start looking there instead of sweaping through the general forum.

Ah, the allmighty "don´t like it, don´t buy it" argument. It is everything but as simple as that, buddy. If CO/PDX would think so they would´ve simply released it without any previews and all, no?
Since they did, I see it as my right to do anything in my power (which isn´t much, I am aware of that) to try to bring this in the direction I want. As everybody else does.
yeah, "buddy" you're sooooooo right.
is this ok for you now?
have a nice day, buddy.

Sounds like a good idea to me as I don't read that forum, so I don't have to read all the rubbish negative nellys are whining about a game they haven't played yet. :)

I like to read them, and laugh at them.

While I completely understand people have a right to complain and suggest alternative solutions, not everybody is interested in reading them. I believe most people come to this forum, first and foremost, to find more information about the game, not to hear people whining about what the game is not - so for them, it makes the forum a more pleasant experience to have all that irrelevant (for them) stuff out of the way.

Besides, wouldn't it be more helpful to CO to have all of the complaints together in one place? If they want to get an idea what are the things that bug people, it is way more useful to not have those threads scattered all over the place.

Too much criticism has been on the side of petulant greed rather than constructive (especially a few on reddit). It's especially grating when it's willful ignorance, like when people complain about a lack of information or depth when they clearly didn't read any dev diary.

It's actually pretty simple...DON'T click buy. If the game doesn't go in enough of the "direction" people want, then they're not obligated to purchase a copy.

In fact, much like the "don't like it, don't buy it" saying, the "direction" argument has been thrown around way too much as a response to the #19's comment. I think CO has enough ideas in their notepads from the community as a whole to last a lifetime.

Any action taken is filtered through your own Mindset (prejudice ?). Not a criticism, just a fact.

Some will view this action as business as normal and an obvious thing to do (I'm in that camp).

Others will view it with suspicion and an attempt to suppress complaint.

Critisism is by definition feedback, so moving it to an own subforum for feedback would make it, not only easier to find, but also more visible. A good solution both for those that wish their critisism to be noticed, as well as for those that want other kinds of information while reading in the general forum. Everybody is happy! Yay! ...no?

I hate to say "I told you so", but...


Don't worry, we still read the forums whenever there's time! It's very convenient for us to have all things that concern how to make the game better in one place, especially with such limited time for us to spend on the forums :)

Besides, wouldn't it be more helpful to CO to have all of the complaints together in one place? If they want to get an idea what are the things that bug people, it is way more useful to not have those threads scattered all over the place.
