My heart’s gone cold, can’t ‘member why
I got into games at all
The bad feedback clouds up my inbox
But I can't read it all
And even if I could, it'll all be great
Let the modders fix the flaws
That reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad…
Dear Todd,
You still ain't fixed those Skyrim bugs, I hope you have a chance. I ain't salty, I just think it's fucked up you don't respect your fans. If you wanna sell a game twice with some added rays… You’re the Overseer, Todd, but we’re losing dialogue options like we’re dropping frames. Have some standards, man… That game was five years old!! Sixty dollars to enter Virginia feels like I’m selling my soul! It's pretty shitty, man… You're like this 3 billion dollar company. You want us to break it early?... You break it more than I do! A “BETA TEST?!”… Come on, man, I just don't like bein' lied to.
Remember when Emil spoke at STORY? He said he didn’t care ‘bout criticism if you’re making green. See, he’s just like you in that way… Yao Guai fur coat and no knickers: a glowing sea of marketing but fewer memorable scenes. It’s like this game was put together by interns! Or did you just not take your time? You’re numb to the fall-out, ya greed for caps leading to decline. Early access asset-flip or the limits of your engine, you decide!… Or are you headed towards OBLIVION, your “free pass” revoked this time. Bugthesda’s a dead meme, ya games have more bugs than boatflies! It’s like Stockholme syndrome… more you disrespect us, harder we defend your lies! See, everything you build “just works” and I respect the gall with which you sell it. Though deep down you must be jealous ‘cause we talk about Obsidian 24/7.
But the haters don't know you like I know you Todd, no one does! They don't know what it’s like for triple-A game developers just showing up! You gotta tweet me, man… I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.
They say it’s more fun with friends…
P.S. WE SHOULD TEAM TOGETHER TOO.
