Sounds like you decided to dismiss my and OPs post and proceed to impose your own, and your group's 'superior' and fact-checked opinion on the matter, and I'm sure that part about 'ethnic and cultural denigration' is a fine example of a strawman straight from your silver-tongued mouth. Psychological Projection also applies to you and your sociopathic friends as well since you have began to use the 'ethnic and cultural denigration card' to support your 'argument'.
A small mistake on my part on how I worded it. What I actually want to say is that; almost 40% of the users here stopped giving a damn what others say after their unrealistic expectations didn't come true. It's all about TW being the 'bad guys' for 'stealing' their 50 bucks and anyone defending them are mean poopooheads that don't deserve to play the same game as they do, logic be damned.
Cut TW some slack, if they say they can finish this in a year or two then why not just be patient about it? I already sucked the fun out of Bannerlord after 3 months of playing, now I'm just doing other stuff while letting time pass by. If they do manage to finish building the game by the time release day comes around, then (almost) everyone is happy. If they couldn't, well there's always the official modding tools TW made to make up for the shortcomings, as well as the updates that will certainly accompany it by then.
Doubtful.
Really? Presenting factual information (or just referring back to what was already presented) is "imposing"?
This isn't some tribal e-warfare, and if factual information about the inner workings of industry or game design process don't agree with your claims, you don't get to pretend like you have some "alternative facts." And they don't, because, as an example, even EA-owned studios often work with under-100 people employeed during development stage and still release what you'd immediately call "AAA" game, and a studio that is close to 100 employees is certainly anything but "small" within industry's considerations. If you demand that 50-100 employee studios are "small," pretty much all the games released until quite recently would be the result of work of "small" development studios - and it's still applicable nowadays even to AAA-publisher-funded studios. Not every game is made by huge behemoths - quite the contrary.
Unlike you, I managed to state my objection to OP's claims without directly offending any participant in this discussion. Snarky reply? Yes, I'm a snarky person. But I didn't start by throwing the very sophistries and labeling you opened your post with, while proceeding to insist on claims that have already long been disproven in this very thread.
Dear OP. Are you trying to change someone's beliefs over the internet? Stop that. It's futile
Your post is interesting, but to tell you the truth, no one really cares what are the cultural or buissness condidtions of game dev, just as hardly anyone cares about working condidtions of workers in some korean car factory when they run into petty problems with their newly purchased vehicle. You buy a product/service. If it doesn't do what you expected, you are going to be pissed.
Having said that, I notice some people expected too much. I laugh my ass off every time I read something like "this game sucks, I paid 50 euros for it and only got 120 hours with it". That's great value for money, considering some other entertaiment avenues. People here have been demanding game in any shape or form ASAP for few years. I kinda knew that when devs do that, other groups will rise and complain about state of the product. Well, life I guess.
People got sooooo emotional recently... We should all just chill. Warband was not masterpiece either, it had buggs and holes, but patches made it better. What I did was play Warband extensivly for two weeks, get bored and stopped for half a year and more. And when I got a feeling to ride on virtual stead and kill see riders again, I got back and always found fresh quest, new gameplay mechanic or something I did not do before. Also, rekindled sense of entertaiment.
I plan to do exactly same thing with Bannerlord.
Game is not perfect, but I will find enjoyment in it for quite some time. If others won't, tough titties. There is no point in changing their opinions.
Imagine trying to utilize your platform to inspire and hire within your own country.
You would be surprised how much external devs they hired.
