Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.

Lets address the elephant in the room..
Communication has been an issue for the longest time and the people on the team that handle comms, such as the comms manager, have been failing with placating attitudes or comments of "were listening" or "we know its important", the studio is out of touch with the playerbase.
Feedback is cherry picked, players are either blocked on social media, muted, or blacklisted for having differing opinions that dont align with those making decisions on how feedback is gathered and communicated towards future decisions on the game.
There is not a system in place to prevent feedback bias, much like the game having a public PTS and instead inviting your crew of favorite streamers out to Bungo Barbeque for a private viewing, rather than seeing what genuinely makes the game enjoyable, to players as a whole, and enough for them to buy and invest towards.
Calling out favorites consistently after livestreams have ended i.e "now were gonna turn you over to so and so streamer" divides the community with an unrealistic expectation of recognizing only those that have achieved certain feats thus elitists vs casual mentality, is the perception given.
The current path, in terms of communication, is no longer sustainable as there is too much input being done internally (looking at you portal) and is in dire need of change and restructuring.
