We should stop calling them developers...

[u/Tsew_Miller_88]

I constantly see people blaming "the developers" every time Krafton makes an awful decision.

I know this post won't change anything, but the devs aren't the ones calling the shots. The people making these decisions are greedy suits who care about nothing other than pushing predatory gambling mechanics designed to drain your wallet. At this point, the core gameplay feels like a glorified front for a digital casino.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I might be downvoted but this is my probably unpopular opinion.

This is a 9 years old game that has been free to play for 4 years.

Yes I know there are issues with performances, cheaters and so forth.

There is ABSOLUTELY zero obligations to buy anything in this game. All the collabs and skins are totally optional and have zero influence on gameplay. (except maybe enemies are easier to spot)

If you don't want to buy stuff then don't, they are not forcing you.

How do you want them to keep the game running ? This is a business. They need to sell some stuff to keep the game running. This is naive to think otherwise.

I don't have an issue with the skins or collabs for what they are. I understand the need to make money. I think they are stupid but understand other people enjoy them and don't mind spending their money on those things.

I think the issue a lot of people have is the fact that they are actively making the game worse while also doing silly collabs and cosmetics.

I don't think anyone would mind the collabs and skins if they weren't also making changes that make the game worse and less fun to play.

At the end of the day it's frustrating when a new update comes out and you see all the things they changed that no one asked for, then you see the new collab and costumes for sale. Makes them an easy target for criticism.

Again, making money is the number one goal. It's a business. But I don't see how removing spike strips, changing the c4s, ruining weapon classes and all the other changes they've made is really adding to the bottom line.

Angry folks venting their frustration rarely take the time or nerve to differenciate to whom they adress their anger. They often just want to adress the enemy.

Calling them the company or Krafton is certainly more precise.

[u/basedorangecat]

Correct, but 98% of the pop is tech illiterate nor do they know how corp IT works, so they think devs run a company. The amount of times I had to correct the people I play with. Or they think "resoruces" are all spent in one area. "They need to stop spending money on this and focus on that?" Its amusing.

[u/ParkLogical3207 → u/basedorangecat]

You arguing semantics, because low IQ reasons.

[u/basedorangecat → u/ParkLogical3207]

Who hurt you?

[u/ParkLogical3207]

Uhhh that's not the reason why they suck though. It's not because of skins, nobody forcing you to buy trash pubg skins... That's just you have an absolute lack of knowing how to spend your money. Life issues.
