Sadly, you can’t summarise it in a single word

We’ll never hear about what the ‘design intent’ is because, at this point, I have become convinced that the design intent is ‘milk these assholes for money then drop this game for something more lucrative’.

I’ve been saying for weeks that I’m far more interested in what’s going on behind the scenes at Fatshark than I am in their games at this point because, yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me that their “design intent” could be so off the mark from what players have been vocal about wanting for the ‘Tide series for years unless the design intent is hostile to the players and they now need to keep figuring out how to dial back the hostility to the exact level that most players are willing to ignore.

Considering the truly incredible amounts of reputation damage they have done to themselves with Darktide, you also have to consider just how much damage they will take if they now abandon Darktide and begin on Darktide 2

You may be right, I don’t know. I was just thinking that maybe fully acknowledging they really screwed up and showing sincere willingness to make amends by scrapping everything but the core gameplay to work on a better iteration would go a long way for both their company to get back on track and the gaming community to get a fun and rewarding game.
