    Upper management is always full of the slimiest people out there, I just don’t think that justifies the hate towards devs who just want to make a game and already have to put up with said upper management.

      That’s basic relationship stuff : game studios broke player trust. It’s up to them to win it back.

      Now different people react differently to the break of trust. Some do react poorly to it. But I won’t blame people, and I won’t sympathise with studios I don’t already trust.

          And sometimes they’re also assholes that disrespect players. Sometimes they’re too leniant and think a buggy mess is a game worth releasing. That’s disrespect. Being small is not an excuse to release an alpha version.
