all the q&a did so far was bullshit us and contradict itself.
plan to be more transparent with us yet refuse to open polls or do further q&a’s? chino told us they need to consider the non vocal players as well yet in the q&a they make it very clear that they exclusively only take into consideration the comments on their social media sites. (which i call bs on bc they haven’t changed a thing nor responded to the issues the fandom has been vocal about) and will continue to only communicate by reading our comments and otherwise completely ignoring us. thanks team! no improvement whatsoever!
they chose not to make any official announcements of all the major changes that came with mclu and yet they let chino announce the biggest changes first. their reason behind choosing not to make official announcements is because they “didn’t want to reveal the story”. Then why did they let chino reveal the story on her personal blog??? The news got leaked either way, and they already had several beta testers lined up to receive this information. They weren’t protecting a story, they were hiding a secret they knew we would be unhappy with.
i could say a million things but something that really stood out to me in the q&a is how this sentence was stated in response to the question “will critiques be taken into account?”
their answer: “if changes are to be made, they will be taken into account”
Not; “changes have been planned accordingly” or anything even vaguely reassuring just a noncholant “eh if we feel like making changes we might read some of your comments. maybe.”
“What measures are planned to improve the communication between the players and Beemoov in order to create a real influence on the decisions made by the team?
We have planned to communicate with you regularly and to vary the formats. As for the influence, we read your comments and remarks on the social networks and in the forum. However, nothing can be done in a day and changes take time.”
Way to deflect guys. You literally didn’t answer the actual question at all. You told us what you were doing and that you can’t promise anything. So what changes are you going to make? Because you’re not off to a great start on being more transparent.
“How do you think you will regain the trust of the community?
We are aware of the errors we made and we are working to improve. To start: we are listening to you. Really.
We hope that by making our communication more transparent, we will be able to renew a dialogue. We know it won’t be easy, but we are going to do everything we can to increase our L’o’M with you!”
Again you haven’t been transparent about anything. All you’ve done is given us shitty excuses and contradicting statements.
“ You said that the community misinterpreted your communication. What did you mean by this and what does this mean now?
There wouldn’t have been so many questions if the communication concerning the release had been crystal clear. Our answers in this Q&A are here to clarify what wasn’t clear!”
Ahh, so now it’s our fault. It was all a big misunderstanding guys! Yes they really did make three routes exclusively canonical bad endings and no option to sanctify the situation and they did make the AP and $ system way more complex and difficult for players to get through episodes and yes they did throw 6 years of a collected wardrobe into the trash, and yes they did totally ignore our opinions and “comments they pay so much attention to” and go on to make huge changes and break their players’ hearts and trust again and again unapologetically with no plan to renew themselves but hey! just a big misunderstaanding on our parts. next time they’re going to be more clear and open about stepping on us and not caring at all what we think! next time they’re just gonna straight up let us know they hate us :) what a relief.
i could vent about this for the next 10 years and still not say everything i think about this. and there’s still 7 more parts to the q&a. For a company trying to be better at communicating with their players and not being so damn shady they sure are off to a horrible start. 7 more parts of complete bullshit coming up!!
