Feels good not to interact with toxic game systems on a daily basis. After playing Darktide for a minute you start to forget that not every game was designed with systems that actively say “F*** Y**” every time you log in to play. There are some amazing games in my backlog made by studios who love what they do, love their customers, and it shows in their products.
I still like the game a lot im just frustrated with how anti player it is. I do not play if a hi shock gauntlet isnt on the mission board. They could easily have many, many more hours out of me and probably a lot of others if they would nake that one simple change
But don’t you feel retained by all this RNG?
The retention is key!
Look at all the retention we have achieved by ignoring the top 3 player feedback points for more than 5 months and losing 92% of our players!
Honestly, if you’re this hard into a game or company, maybe you are a little addicted after all.
There is no need to check every day for updates and such. Take it a little more casual. Game when you have time and desire. Don’t when it starts to be upsetting or too time intensive.
European Consumer Committee is working on streaming & online/streaming game abuse reporting. Stay tuned.
I’ve (my wife) used their services to dispute about watch warranty case with one of bif luxurious watch producers. Once reported there and followed up with case number on public media… we got our XYZ euros back
Have you seen any recovering addicts? They don’t really want to talk about their bad streak. If they start thinking and talking about their use, they might relapse.
Also not sure if we’re on the same page, so I’d like to clarify that one might not use his poison of choice and still be addicted to it. Seen it many times.
If you want to kick your Darktide habit, keep it installed. That way you can choose not to play at any time you could. A friend of mine used to be a chain smoker, so when he wanted to quit, he always had a single cigarette in his hand. Took a while to kick it for good, but he didn’t smoke in over a decade. You coming back here to complain in such a fashion tells me you aren’t through with DT yet.
I wonder if I made a connection to Darktide and jumping off a cliff if at least a couple of you would spend energy to rant about cliffs and jumping and how you arn’t really done playing Darktide unless you never even look at a cliff again.
Yeah, sorry for not being the yes-man you needed so badly. Canceling everyone who has a different point of view got to be the most sensible move! Either you are like this in your daily life, or I can chalk your reaction up as withdrawal symptom.
