Yoshi-P Statement on Player Feedback

[Penthea]

It's not really on the players to fix the game though. I'm not in favor of personal attacks and such but I feel like you're advocating for people to walk on eggshells and that shouldn't be necessary. We should be able to call something bad or stupid if we think it's bad or stupid. Doing so isn't a personal or direct attack on a dev IMO.

I feel like anyone who is saying stuff like this is missing the point. Yoshida isn't asking people to walk on eggshells. He is asking people to be respectful with their feedback.

Calling something stupid is fine, but calling a person stupid is another thing altogether. However some people see these as interchangeable so they outright insult the devs when giving their feedback, and that's the problem Yoshida is trying to highlight.

please imagine that you're speaking face to face with a developer whom you may not know his name nor face and imagine how they'd feel before sending your feedback over, and I'll be happy if people can do so politely.

It's not a complicated message nor is he asking the players to do something difficult. He is asking for the bare minimum his team deserves - basic manners from players.

If anyone is missing the point it's you lot. The response you quoted, which is being taken out of context, is a response to someones initial response to what I originally posted. Which is that people will use Yoshida's statement to discourage people from giving feedback that doesn't align with their own. This community already does this as it is so it's not a huge stretch. I wasn't saying that Yoshida wanted us to walk on eggshells I was saying that the person who responded to my original post was.
