Thats not in reference to me cause I did none of that. All I wanted was accountability and transparency, things that other Devs do when they screw up. Not months of silence followed up by lies. I dont think thats too much to ask for. Especially when they promised us answers, answers that will probably never come at this point.
I never glossed over it either, I said dudes were out of line for that. But this whole thing was Dan Ayoubs responsibily, hes the last person who should go anywhere. Bravo stuck around the entirety of these five months, tweeted, and responded to thousands of people. Tweeting isnt really endangering Dan Ayoubs life man. Frankie stuck around and still was regular condescending snarky Frankie on Neogaf with no issues. But the one person who should have been talking left, thats nonsense.
Ummmm Frankie even said he and other employee got death threats.
So now every employee must put up with that crap. Acting like it since other employee put up with it, then everyone should.
You have opened you mouth and said that you blame everyone and 343 for the MCC screw up, but when it comes to blame the hardcore Halo community (that you have no problem letting people know you're part of) you get on some "I WAS NOT INVOLVED"
You know ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH about MCC's development, nothing. You don't even know if it was the case Dan was the lone employee asking for a delay and got over ridden by someone else.
"All I wanted was accountability and transparency".....You're not owed that, that's the entire point. I complain about the crappy Jordan shoes but how ridiculous would be for me to right novella after novella demanding that the person responsibility for not getting a retro exactly right be brought in front of me for an apology.
Only dmab thing anyone is owed anyway a refund. If they didn't give that to you then you got the right to *****. Because I find it disgusting that MS didn't get in front of this enough and make the refund procedure as easy as possible for people
-And btw I bet you have no idea what these threats are really like if you acting like they're no that big a deal. Nah brah, I read some of my homeboys emails of when he worked at Bethesda. These dudes find out family members names, where your kids go to school. And write in detail of how they will rape and torture your kids.
And that was because a couple dudes loss their progress in Skyrim. What, you think the clowns in the Halo community just write stuff like "Imma kills you if MCC is not fixed, lol"
You're just entitled and ******* hell brah. Stop trying to act like you passion for the Halo franchise excuses that.
I'm aware that Frankie got death threats man....
You're right I know nothing of MCCs development, but I do know how Halo is played. My point from the get go was that they knew this game didnt work from day one. They keep saying they didn't even thought there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary. That is what is still irking me, the fact that they continue to die. Even past the MatchMaking overlay issues, the games themselves are fundamentally broken, and still are, why are they continuing to say that? Its not like they're fooling many. I dont think its a wild assumption to say that they saw all those issues during testing, in fact theres no way they couldnt have. The games literally dont work how they do on their OG counterparts. During the Vidocs we saw them running side by side games with the ports and OG versions, so they had both in front of their faces. Not to mention they employ five professional Halo players who all played the game prior to launch and have a better understanding of it than me. If the devs didnt see it surely they did. Someone saw it, theres no way someone didnt, its just annoying seeing them lie about it.
That blame everyone thing was rage typing I even took it back right after(FTR that point of sharing equal blame was because no one knows who really made the call on this). Especially since Phil Spencer of all people doesnt care, anyone whos asking for blame to be pass around is wasting their time.
During the first two months of this thing I was the person encouraging people that the game would be fixed and that they should pick it up, posting all the tweets, and all that. You can go back and read it, in fact you know you were in here. It was all well and good until December 22nd when the patch they put out that day made the game play worse, then they put it on the shelf for an entire month during the H5 beta, then put out a patch right after H5 beta ended which did nothing. That was a month, a month grace period where they didnt really have everyone on their necks about MCC cause there was another game to try, they squandered that. Then they took another month and a half to put out this last patch and we're about 20% fixed right now. During this 2.5 month window, hardly anything was said. Thats where they lost me and I got fed up with this whole thing.
I think we're talking about two different things here especially the whole "hardcore Halo community thing". To me the hardcore Halo community is the competitive Halo community which is all I care about really. That these games have competitive merit and work. Everything else is irrelevant. My main dislike of 343 is how they're taking the competitive merit away from the titles, coudlnt care less about all that dumb stuff that kids on GAF cry about.
I would say that everyone who bought the game is owed an explanation, if you disagree that is ok. Lets agree to disagree here.
The refund policy was handled very poorly. Agreed right there.
I've never seen how those death threats look and again, I am not glossing over them. I dont know anyone who participated in that nor would I associate myself with them. Its never that serious, its a damn video game, dont lump me in with those fools.
I've already graduated past mad, I stopped being mad about this months ago, the only reason this even became a conversation today was because Shotta said that he was glad that Phil Spencer is talking about MCC, and I pointed out that hes lying, which he is lying. Why wouldnt he lie? Its in their best interest to lie, thats how business works. Doesnt change the fact that hes lying.
I dont think I'm entitled I honestly do not, maybe I'm not owed an answer, but I think I'm still owed the game being fixed which is the #1 thing I still talk and am upset about. They could never answer for all I care, if they fix it. We can put this behind us and Edap it up Rusty.
