    Yes, this is the kind of comment I am talking about when I am talking about how this community had gone downhill massively. Thank you for the example.

    It is not hard to say that the game isn’t in a good state, but that is no excuse for toxicity. Unless you yourself are a part of the problem.

      Is a publisher who’s failed to live up to the promise of a good game entitled to a good community? The fact they have any at all is a blessing.

              Sorry but I did specify publishers and companies multiple times. I’ve never once even alluded to personal harassment as I obviously don’t believe in that. I however do think that this game deserves the toxicity it sees and the company deserves to be harassed for not delivering on their promise of a worthwhile product for which many people paid nearly $70 (CAD).

                So erm… who is this “company” that reads the comments on the forum, again?

                As in, what’s their account name? Should be easy enough to direct the harassment at them instead of a dev or a social engagement rep or a support rep then, after all.

                  Sorry, but being toxic about a company is distinct from harassing the individual CM. You’re gonna need to try a different line of reasoning because this is a pretty foolish one.

        This video was released 3 days before the game released. In response to Colossal Order (game creator) being transparent about issues they were seeing.

        The video I linked is a known and well regarded YouTube contributor with a significant following. He, himself, was transparent in his testing and results also.

        All of this was out there before the game was released and refunds were available.
