Design Flaws with Atma, let me count the ways

[Rex]

OP, you're like 5 months too late here. The Atma complaint train has come and gone. Either do it, or you don't. The end.

They are... in that they've outright quit the game. It's easy to dismiss peoples' compaints but it isn't exactly a healthy approach. The reason these threads keep popping up is because some people are very disappointed in what they've been paying for.

If they quit, then they quit. That's their choice. As a game developer, you don't bend over backwards and constantly change the rules of every little thing everywhere because someone doesn't like a mechanic. Because then you'll find yourself constantly changing it because once you change it for that one player, there will be another player who wants it the way it was. By caving in for one player, all the other players will expect the same treatment. Not good.

There was a time where the game developer created the game, and the player dealt with it.

Today, Game developers make a game, and the players complain until the developers change it for them. I don't believe that's how it should be.


Yoshi-P already dealt with this mentality. He said he's doing his best to create a game that appeals to the masses, but he knows it won't appeal to everyone. Because you can't make EVERYONE happy.
