Funny thing, after years of criticizing Starfield for poor quality, people suddenly begun to white knight about whether DLSS 5 was properly respecting Heller’s intended rendition in Starfield. I’m sure they totally bothered to check the artist’s or their player’s opinion on it. To be honest, I’m sure they do care - some people only seem to find community in finding a shared hate.
Starfield patch coming up later this year. It’ll remove some loading screens but generally won’t change the game, yet to all the haters out there - sorry buds, gonna enjoy it!
He probably isn’t wrong but when you present your work, it will be subject to criticism. Even if the criticism is annoying as fuck, it’s going to happen.
Games should be criticized and if companiess don’t like it, they should make better games instead of being greedy assholes that churn out overpriced enshittified half-finished garbage.
Yeah if you dont want criticism then you cant publish. Just play it by yourself with your dev team lol.
Like bröther you are trying to sell something, people will look at things before they buy them duh???
There is still a legitimate reason to debate about the tone and intention of criticism.
Problem is that enough people who receive fair criticism and can’t handle that, call it unreasonable and unfair and thereby muddle the debate massively.

The spirit of highguard lives on
Where did they talk about the game aside from the mention at the beginning of the article? This isn’t a breakdown of the game they’re making.
It’s a breakdown of a guy leading the production of a shitty game complaining about people who speak negatively about shitty games without paying for them first.
The most generous interpretation is that he knows his game is going to get shit on from a great height and it’s already bothering him.
This article is directed at you. Why have a strong opinion about it if it’s not your thing? I like survival crafting games, and I think Kaplan is an incredible game designer, but I probably won’t play this one because I’m not a fan of the setting. I even agree that the game looks uninspired. But I’d put money on the game feel being fantastic. Jeff knows there will be outrage because there always is. Kaplan left Overwatch when Act-Bliz-King forced a lot of bad changes to the game, and he knows his reputation is tied to that game even after having no involvement in the worst aspects of it.
If you don’t like that guy’s opinion then why criticize it? Its not your thing so why have a strong opinion about it?
The point of Kaplan’s (offhand) comment is that there’s a social media environment constructed around posting outrage about games/movies/shows that you don’t actually care about. The point of these ‘criticisms’ is garnering attention and monetizing it. It’s devolved into slinging vitriol at anything deemed progressive, and was (no joke) pioneered by conservatives deeply involved in the current US administration back during Gamergate.
This has happened before and it will happen again. Jeff, just stop complaining and carry on with your life.
He made conversation during a live stream, he didn’t put out a public statement lol
Live streams aren’t exactly private.
A “public statement” is not any statement made in public
They are also not the only way to communicate with the public.
Either you are missing my point or I’m missing yours.
It’s an article about a single comment from a 10-hour stream and “news” outlets and people in this thread are acting like Jeff Kaplan emerged from hibernation to release a statement on signed letterhead complaining about complainers.
No I got your point, I just found it facetious.
Official press releases are not the only way information is conveyed to the public. He knows that. He doesn’t go on a live stream to say things and expect people not to hear it. He goes on a live stream for a purpose. Claiming that somehow statements don’t count because they’re not on a letterhead is absurd.
Sensitive much?
