Yup, and the apologists wonder why we’ve run out of patience when interacting with this developer. Our feedback doesn’t get onboarded when design decisions are made. We get ignored ninety-nine percent of the time unless the request is some inane crap like accessibility for some obscure phobia. Additionally the developer is dishonest in their handling of community communications - see last “comm-link” where the developer said there will be: > [@](#): > > Most notably, the desire for more agency in things like account based currencies, perk refinements, adjustments to crafting locks and options on the mission board. Source: [Community Comm-link 15th June 2023](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/community-comm-link-15th-june-2023/81135) Only for it to all be a farce. I’m mentally exhausted with this developer. They’re actively fighting their playerbase to retain harmful qualities of Darktide which is pushing people away, but hey, after so many months they’ve developed a devoted fanatical group that’ll defend them and consume whatever crap they produce; mission accomplished there. Hopefully these zealots keep them afloat. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/patch-12-into-the-maelstrom/82260)._
