Okay.
Yeah, and it wouldn't surprise me to learn they're probably not thrilled with a lot of the feedback that's just "huhmbguh concord" "muh payday 3" or whatever when this is clearly something they had been cooking for a while.
A lot of it is being spoken by potential players who both do and don't know what they want, but think they know what they want. And a lot of the criticism is from people not liking a thing about the changes made to KF3 and then extrapolating that the game must inevitably fail because of the one thing they don't like, so obviously the rest of it must be bad because why wouldn't it be?
The majority of what is spoken in this thread, by potential "customers" that are weighing their options as to how much commitment, and energy they are willing to put into a game, when they see choices being made, that restrict, and diminish their freedoms. Estimating all of this outrage as simple malarkey, should also have its effect, if neglect is the chosen reaction to a 90% outcome.
In fact, this dumping ground, is pretty much the only place where players can see the effect of bad decisions, and discuss the relevancy of it. This is where people are reading, agreeing, disagreeing, and providing feedback with a situation they have a gut feeling about.
Players that know what they want, and also concurrently think they know what they want. This is called cognitive dissonance.
Suggesting once again, that this is the aggravating factor that is fueling the resistance to the poor choice to move ahead with Specialists, is a broad assumption, with no basis in reality.
There is no place for such assumptions. The numbers are what the vote was for. Discounting the human element as some sort of anomaly, some sort of frivolous basis to create conflict, or otherwise, is an inappropriate response to the situation.
As community resistance develops, and continues to be ignored, the only ones speaking will be the ones defending the company no matter what choices they make. By that point they will be the majority, as the 90% has left for the sunset.
