Welcome to 2021… Where devs/companies test their games using players and not testers…
We are stuck in this. And going forward it’ll most likely always be this since they are never made accountable for their actions.
They don’t care if hundreds to thousands of hours of gameplay are lost due to their own issues in the program.
We the player base are left with very few choices… It hurts… even when it’s the truth.
I NEVER would have bought this game if I had thought for a moment this was the state it was in. I honestly thought a 20 year old game would have been in better condition… yet it’s in worse that the previous generation… Like a foretelling of just how bad things are going to be in the game industry for the future.
There was a point where one of the worst bugs a game could have was unintentional loss of player data or game crashes/hardlocks/softlocks…
Now… It’s just a meh… They don’t seem to care… Like the life of the industry has been replaced with corporate greed. Too many of us just don’t care about quality… so why should they?
Play… but know you can lose it all. Know that every minute is wasted cause they won’t save it.
Know that you are nothing to them. They don’t care… They don’t respect… They just want the $$… and that’s the wrong way to make something people should enjoy.
However I’m just a single voice in this sea of madness. No one listens… and no one cares… as long as 80% are ok… then 100% is ok. We are… living in a box… that is made for testing…
Will we ever be free? Maybe…
This is what they told me when I asked for stuff back after THEY destroyed it.
I’ve lost faith in the video game industry when a top player just cares this little about it’s product… Might as well never try at creating if all you can produce is this… Something that deletes player data without any method of recovery or mitigation.
Stay warm out there travelers.
