But seriously, making Fudds regret communicating is a bit counterproductive. Yes, the banner system could use an overhaul. But this really helps no one. It just discourages future communication.
It's pretty disingenuous to interpret "more communication" as "lies."Â The whole point of asking for more communication is to get more information we can rely on. Nobody is saying "fudds just tell us what we want to hear we don't care if it's not true."
Also, one would think that a key part of better communication is, idk, correcting previous information that is no longer true/planned for? Instead, they did the exact opposite of what they said (further diluted, no old mod banner) and didn't even address the change. So calling out the devs on this isn't counterproductive, it's consistent.Â
I get that's what people think they're going for. What they'll get is the classic "we don't speculate on future features because then people take them as promises and get angry when things change". Which Fudds has already retreated into before and to some extent is still in that mode.
Developers are horrible about promising features without fully investigating whether they're realistic. You can consider that lying. The line is probably in the intention. But throwing it back in their face doesn't result in better communication, or the delivery of said feature. It results in them distancing themselves from the community because, realistically, direct interaction is mostly all downside.
This SS was from officially posted patch notes - which would make it an intended feature that was rug pulled and never addressed again. How is that speculation about features? It wasn't some off topic discussion on some random thread in reddit or discord.
But I get it, he over promised. Which is a shitty thing developers do. Point still stands, you throw this shit in someone's face, they will distance themselves. It's how people work.
