Infrequently, I think. If you look, most of them actually have very low Posts Read counts compared to the mountains of material on the forums–less than some of the larger threads out here. I think they occasionally log on, and if they see a post that’s not too intimidating and got something they’re wanting to share talking points about, they’ll comment. Otherwise, they tend to leave it alone.
I wouldn’t blame them if they didn’t do it.
These forums are a cesspool.

This is likely true, however, I’m not sure how connected they are with their primary player-base. I feel like the entire company is drifting away from their players and the games seem to cater more and more towards the few rather than the many, which is really bad for the game and the company. I kind of feel like they desperately want Overwatch to be a viable e-sport that it is no longer for a casual and diverse player-base, which was how the game was marketed initially.
Not that bad, go on 4channel or Reddit and try having a discussion
Normally yes, but it’s christmas.
Expect them back after new year’s.
No, Apparently not, But they know better than to talk with actual players, obviously somehow. -.-
And honestly i don’t think they like us.

Were the developers on the forums much before? Back in 2016/2017.
They probably look at them every now and then to remind themselves of why they shouldnt.

I think sometimes that they shouldn’t. There’s a certain poster going around asking for D.va buffs and Zen nerfs…

The only person that frequently read the official forums overall was Michael Chu back when the stats were public.
When level design changes were being in play the level design lead was quite active.
The balance team and overall people in charge have always been mostly MIA.

No, a couple weeks ago someone made a thread basically asking him or anyone else to pop out and say hello, so he did? They also had a developer update where he read some posts he liked and shared them with us, like actual proof he exists
im telling you who is looking at it right now, the lonely guy who is closing threads for “not being constructive” even though they always has been they way they were. Even simple suggestion got locked…
Wasn’t it a long time ago? (the part he read is he posts and commented on them)
I think I saw a YouTube video of him doing that but it was back in 2016/2017 or so
Oh yep, no that’s right it was awhile ago. Well i’m sure he’s around somewhere

only Michael loggs in and it says he was active… BUT before they decided to hide their profiles i was looking at activity statistics… and you can imagine it didnt look good
they log in, one thread checked, 2-3 posts red… and thats it for few days or a whole month
