Starting off strong I see.
So far they:

-Dropped the launch trailer during an event for a system it's not even gonna be on for another month. Confused people b/c the trailer said "coming soon."
-Hid the PC release date in the trailer's description and the steam page. Said "out now" despite it not being available to buy.
-Clarified that it would come out later today... On Discord.
-It got delayed to even later in the day. Once again only said this on Discord.

Studio Wildcard are the wizards of bad marketing and communication. I unfortunately expect more of the same to happen during this game's life cycle.

Yet, they make MILLIONS of dollars while doing this.

They dont care man, they know we buy it, and we do. The world you want doesnt excist.

WildCard, will never change. I expect nothing less than chaos and problems. However, Nobody else comes close to what Ark provides in my opinion. So here I am, waiting!

Maybe just be patient, the game will be out when the game is out. Christ.

It’s a shame the fan base puts up with it and happily buys everything they make. If they received genuine harsh and well-deserved criticism for their consistent ♥♥♥♥-ups they might actually feel the need to improve.

i will be giving it a pass for now, wait a month or so when all the hype train is gone and people see what it actually is and once its on sale I might have it a go. not paying the money they are asking for same game with literally this kind of community treatment.

Hey you know that company named Blizzard? yes???

Exactly. Nothing will change nomatter how much backlash they receive aslong as the money rolls in, and it does.

I buy this because i dont bother changing the world, we are all gonna die, enjoy your time and you do YOU, you might live longer.

Battlefield players collectively caused two BF games in a row to flop and for DICE to get completely reorganized from the inside, so this is simply not true.

But even if that wasn't true I genuinely cannot imagine having this mindset. I'd like for the products I consume to not be bad. We shouldn't be complacent with ♥♥♥♥ because of the illusion of not being able to change anything.

If you're just gonna complain then don't buy the game. Simple as that, otherwise you'll just continue to look like a clown. Seems like most other people aren't bothered by it as long as its fine whenever it does release.

Destructive mindset moment.

BF cant even be compared,because those two games went out of their way to alienate its entire fanbase, it wasnt even BF games.

This mindset comes from 40 years of gaming and overall just watching how the world works, nothing changes, ESPECIALLY not in this industry. For Wildcard to wake up, 80% of the playerbase would have no not buy the game, and demand change.

That will never happen, because thats not how people work. I would absolutely LOVE for everything to be perfect the day i buy it, buts a dream, this is reality.

Unfortunately, games are not a commodity, they are unique products. So even if a company is greedy and incompetent players will still line up because they are the only source of a particular game.
