I guess I get overworked cuz I feel so horrible for the devs who are working their butts off to make this beautiful game as perfect as possible for everyone, yet everything they do is never enough! I just wish there was a way to let them know that we think they are doing a terrific job and to somehow block out all the haters. There's nothing worse than attempting to create the best possible masterpiece, working day and night to complete it and even taking out extra time to make it even better for everyone, only to have everything thrown back into your face....trust me, I know the feeling and it's heart wrenching. Imma go watch the demos again to cheer me up... :/
Yeah, there is so much that goes into game development, far more than most people realize. There is scripting, animating and rigging, 3d modeling and texturing. Lots of art, so much work. I always defend game developers unless they do something seriously questionable. Ever since DA2 I have felt terrible for the DA teams. I get being disappointed about certain things, but people are downright horrible. Like the person who threatened one of the pregnant writers' life. Disgusting.
It scares the hell out of me. If all goes according to plan, I will be a developer someday. I know that if I were a DA dev, I'd be terrified of getting involved in the fandom, and that's kind of bad because you could miss excellent ideas and good solid criticism and feedback. These people are hurting the games more than helping with their crap. Constructive criticism is good.
Yes video games are art fight me about this
