Yep. Some people were very patient during “Beta”. Giving feedback, reporting bugs, and holding out. Then the game released and it turns out the “Beta” was actually representative of what the full version was - an incomplete early access product. It, justifiably, made people upset. Throw in that awful interview with the CEO about MTX, FOMO, and monopoly money as well as Hedge’s comments post release and you had a clown fiesta.
Reminds me of that legendary thread that detailed the community sentiment at the time:
^this guy was patient early on, he gave feedback, did bug reports, then became disillusioned post release.
I’m not really sure how someone is supposed to be nice when they give you the time of day by writing feedback, sending bug reports, and being patient with you throughout the process only to then get an awful gaming experience that they, I might add, had to pay for. We’re not testers we’re just players who wanted a good time. Testing a product comes secondary to having fun. Darktide, at the time, failed to deliver on the fun component.
