So, Fatshark’s claim about having a silent majority who’re fine with crafting? Time to gather data to disprove it. Reddit is my first stop. I’m leaving two polls, one about item acquistion and one about upgrading, and we’ll see what the actual majority has to say. https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/…

Don’t get me wrong, crafting is a blight on this game that should be changed, but collecting unbiased, useful data is a lot more complicated than people tend to think. The ‘silent majority’ aren’t here or on reddit. They don’t engage with these types of platforms. They log into the game, play and l…

[image] aethelwulf: I was not aware that of Fatshark’s claim that people are fine with it, but I would equally question what their evidence for such an assertion is. The real question is, “where did Fatshark make this claim?”

Wait a second. Where, exactly, would Fatshark have said that the Crafting system is fine as is? And where did they talk about a silent majority? Are you perhaps referring to Catfish’ response to the Crafting Memorial? Because it seemed to me that she was saying something else.

She basically said ‘I collate information but despite it being nearly unanimous, my bosses believe that there’s some huge number of people who don’t comment we should take into account and they’re definitely pro-this-system’. It’s a classic silent majority argument.

lmao if the silent majority dont care either way why should we or anyone care about what they think? FS is just deflecting the issue of this awful game design. I dont know if its their stubborn ego or what at this point, but this is not at all a useful poll because of response bias. I honestly dont…

The existence of Catfish’s response is proof enough that FatShark will never do anything, because they have a C-suite that is hardcore believers in dark design, frustration design and RNG. No one in the history of the world has said “but but we don’t know what people who don’t say anything think!” …

At this point, after overwhelming feedback on forums, reddit, steam, YouTube videos, reputable PC gaming review sites… …after losing hundreds of thousands of players, who did not return for Patch 13/15… There is no longer any credit to be had, when and if they do something about it.
