You tell me to read, yet you ask this rhetorical question... I said
seem to, which should resonate as, your post having an implication that you are leaning that way. You don't explicitly say and my post never pegs you as saying it, rather I say you seem to be conveying that, which leaves room for you to say no or elaborate further.
Hello? This is my point, unless you mean money wise. Ever heard of being a silent partner? No? How sad...
Um...unless the partner is a mute, I don't think any of us here can say we've heard of one. Kind of defeats the meaning behind being a partner, due to the term having to do with people communicating and coexisting on some degree or another with each other. Also what is with the sarcasm at the end of every line, are you trying to promote an ***hole like rebuke?
Yet you don't agree that it is a must to a game that is basically a potential investment to the players who help shape it via feedback...
I have no issue with it. Why are you focusing on me by the way? I was generally speaking that it's not a must, not more, not less.
Because you made your self the most prevalent, people explained to you the feedback and how it works in benefit. You kept going back to it being unnecessary (paraphrase), thus I felt inclined to respond back. Also your general phrasing wasn't as easy as you just put it.
Sorry no, they can't force people do so. It's not a must, never been and will never be. What you want to do? Sue those people?
Others have explained to you it is a contract agreement, so yeah it's a must...and no I don't want to sue the people, where do you even get such ignorant drivel from? However, if they loose their initial investment and then potential yields from the good game sales, then that person looks quite stupid. Also not to forget that it is an obligation, by agreeing to do this you are saying you will help craft a game for a bigger populous. Also making a few quick comments in a much less time than this debate between you and I, isn't hard. If one can argue uselessly about not utilizing the feedback forum SMS gives, then a few quick comments on a car, tire model or spring function isn't tough.
I don't know, getting early builds? Being able to play before others? Having the chance of getting money back? Fun? Liking the game without liking to discuss things with people though (you must know some people don't like to talk)? Something else?
Once again there is more to it, you can do all that but you still have to help build the game as your fellow piers do.
It's peoples decisions, not yours. You can't dictate over others.
No one is dictating, calm down their we aren't the gestapo you can rest easy. Yes it is a person's decision but since it is a contract obligation, it then becomes a decision that if not done will have a consequence to it.
And this is fine, what's the problem? How is this relating to anything I said?
Beside everything? Is our cultural gap getting in the way of you understanding what I'm implying? There are reasons to there being feedback, one being that the player has direct input to the game they want. Thus when the game finally is released if they don't like it, oh well they are the ones that wanted it that way due to the forum section. Likewise those who don't contribute only have themselves to blame for not utilizing their voice to help craft a game with features they would have liked. Just another point, why should you even question using the forum once again being childish and combative for no reason takes away from the people who actually care.
I'm not asking why they should have to, I recommend to reread my posts. I was just saying that it's not a must and up to their own.
I know what you said, I read it just fine. My issue is that you are saying it's not a must and have been proven wrong. If you want to break the agreement with the studio then by all means don't use the tool. It seems you misunderstand my reason for even arguing with you in the first place.
The almighty signature...
Try to read my posts properly before you tend to fall.
Once again the irony here, you exclaim I don't read your post, yet you have vast shortcomings about understanding why we are even arguing even though I laid it out for you and have shown the ability to deduct what you are getting at. Also you have been the one to make claims in the absolute form, I actually say words like seem or imply, or might and so on that give the idea that you may mean something else entirely and should elaborate to move on. Clearly I'm not the only person that thinks you have a warped reality of the why the forum should be used, I'm just the most outspoken.
I fear there won't even be a PS4 version before Q2 2014.
Probably wont be, but people will live.
