    Calls for criticism to include solutions is just a way to shut down discussions. It’s not my job to be a game designer.

    I’m not sure who is in charge of community relations over at CA but they probably shouldn’t be lol

    unconstructive (critical without offering solutions)

    You don’t need to offer solutions when complaining about something not working or feeling right, jfc.

      In fact, most developers kinda hate when you offer suggestions, because they don’t like armchair developers.

        Am developer, can confirm.

        What I want is a clear description of the problem (what, when, and why it matters) and ideally steps to reproduce it (how). I’ll ignore pretty much everything else you have to say, but feel free to provide it, you never know if it’ll be helpful.

        If you want me to consider your solution, provide code.

      In other words, they were called out far more than they expected and they lost control. So they created another to try and regain control.

    Wow, imagine actually believing and applying this to… Well, anything, really.

    “Hey, I found a big in this software that causes a crash.”

    Can someone explain what’s going on? Is this related to the cancellation of Hyenas and the layoffs at CA?
