Why shouldn't they listen to us? Because half don't know what they want, and the other half want everything yesterday.
They shouldn't listen to us because we don't know jack shit about developing a multi-million dollar PC game.
they never asked us how to devolp a game
and in fact we never tried to teach them how to do things
but still our thoughts matter, or they should
world is change, this is the era where ppl communicate lot and lot more
this is no TV era where ppl is hypnotized in a single channel communication where you only absorb what few ppl tell you
this is mass media in the deepest way, EVERYBODY listen to everybody
you listen to me
i listen to you
most of my friends listen to me and i listen to them
companies dont have a choice, who doesnt listen to ppl just make shit like civ5 who had half (or even 2/3 ) of the community not happy at all
and its cool btw, because when i do realize something i listen to others and why i buy something you realize i can tell something, thats how it should be
