The Book of Grudges: Because Fatshark Won't Listen

I genuinely can’t help but be bitter about this comment:

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Once again, a massive thank you to all of our players! We couldn’t have gotten this far without your passion and support, and we hope you’re looking forwards to everything that’s in store for you, and for our Tide games!

I have over 500 hours across the three Tide games, 371 of them in Vermintide 2 alone (and I’d estimate nearly 300 of that is solo with bots). I own all the non-cosmetic DLC for both Vermintide games, and I’ve been active on the official forums since November 2023, showing my support and passion for the series.

And yet… I don’t look forward to what’s “in store” for me. Over the past two years of fighting for solo mode, it’s become painfully clear to me that Fatshark doesn’t care about players like me, the solo players who love your games, the solo players who buy your DLC, the solo players who want the games to be amazing. I mean, after two years, I still can’t get a simple acknowledgement about whether Darktide will ever get a solo mode.

At this point, I’m mostly hanging on out of sheer stubbornness. It genuinely feels like Fatshark doesn’t want the money or support of us solo players. There’s no other reasonable explanation for the total silence on this issue.

I’m sorry, but when you think about it from a perspective of the devs, this whole speech starts to sound a bit weird:

”How dare you not want to put resources into creating a single player mode in a co-op game you’ve built with multiplayer in mind.”

The silence from FS is the only thing that makes sense to critique imo. But even then, I think it might be the case of the devs not knowing they need to say it out loud. CM is the only source of information on what the playerbase wants. And since Quickpaw is barely active on the FatShark Forums, compared to other FS CMs, I doubt he will take this request for clarity and bring it to the devs so they know they have to address it.
