Yes I apologize for sounding rude I have no good excuse for it.
Anyways this is just a question haven’t the words “gated” and “time-gated” content always made the discussions and communication between the players and the developer worse for everyone?
You are only speaking truth but how we players address it makes it look like it never was something the developers themselves had intended for a game.
It usually just spark a toxic debate where we players and developers continuously bring up sentences similar to “we have said this and this in the past and you still isn’t listening to us players or developers”, even if it’s the truth would it make a good impression on a player/developer or a bad impression?
^This is not directed towards you^
Do we players really have to start the discussion/debate with an angry based argument rather than a harmless question?
I don’t know if any player here is aware that we continuously bring our negative mindset from other games on to the next.
Yes it happened for Elden Ring and many players threatened to refund because of something the developers never changed.
But after those threats had calmed down the players who also joined those threats seemed to have changed their opinion of the game because they had gotten used to some of the mechanics they previously had a problem with.
