I guess I want to preface today’s discussion by acknowledging that there are a lot of terrific developers and teams out there in the industry today. These people put in a lot of thankless work and have to deal with us finicky gamers, and I think that entitles them to all sorts of exclusive medals.
That said, nobody’s perfect, and some dev teams have some faults. One game studio might be too tight-lipped about everything while another is always over-promising and under-delivering.
Whether it be communication issues, attitudes, lack of response, or high-profile spokespeople who have no business being in front of a camera, there are places where dev teams could improve. So what frustrates you the most about your MMO’s dev team and how could they get better?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
