PCGamer interview: 'It took a while to get there, but now we feel we're in a good place': Fatshark's design director talks doing years of repair work on Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

OMG what a bunch of dirty lies
At release all the VT2 veterans were saying “DELAY” and opening threads like this

Please god, delay this game for another 6 months

After seeing the beta, there is no way this game can be released this year. The general software quality is just too low. So many crashes, non-working positional sound, environment issues. Performance… GFX issues, FOV slider missing, mouse sensitivity, low FPS, motion blur and bloom broken. The melee combat feels bad. You can kill entire hordes slashing through walls that shield you from ranged attacks. And it just feels off. Four classes with no real interesting options or skills on them……

while the green horns wanted the release to happen due to dopamine from the beta, not caring/ not able to see the enormous issues lurking behind.

I am so happy the game came out when it did

You are almost alone in that.

For years we had an incomplete beta test, with placeholder mechanics.
it has always been a fun game, nobody disputes that, which in some instances it may also be seen as even worse: cause it leaves the door open for the “what ifs”

What if FS released a complete game, what would the player base be?
Closer to the few thousands we see today or to the 100k we saw at release?
