Message: [QUOTE="Lena CE, post: 68902, member: 26523"] I'm honestly impressed you managed to be this bad at reading. I definitely admit I'm an overly verbose doofus but come on now this is the opposite of my general sentiments on the subject or at least is the opposite of what I tried to express. I more or less outright say that I value discourse, understand why some people dislike it, want to see more discourse from people who have engaged with the material meaningfully, think that the game's biggest issue is sanding out the edges and going in an overly safe direction. I never really spoke ill of people who just didn't wanna buy the game (I didn't even buy it and don't plan to; I borrowed it from a friend). It isn't so much about viewing Bioware as the small guy but just respecting creatives the same way I respect consumers. You have every right to view the company on the whole as corporate or sanitized but I just struggle to not think of the individuals who work on these projects. I have friends who have worked on some of the games I'd consider some of my biggest disappointments (Andromeda being one of them, I had a friend on the multiplayer design team and the QA team) and I have personally started working on my own stuff recently. Maybe I'm overly sentimental or empathetic and I can certainly respect anyone who thinks of my view on things that way. I just know that on many of these projects there are countless people working to make the best thing they can. It doesn't absolve them of sin if it comes out trash, it doesn't mean we can't thrash something or use it as the butt of a joke. It just means that I personally prefer when the people thrashing it or making it the butt of a joke at least engaged with it or care about the thing personally, rather than having minimal attachment and shitting on it from afar because it suits their bias for something to fail. Hope that clears things up, cheers. [/QUOTE]
