Und das mit Abstand. 637.000 Downvotes und da ist lange noch nicht Schluss. Zum Vergleich, der zweite Platz der Ewigschlechtesten geht an einen /r/me_irl Post mit mickigen 25.000 Downvotes.

Ja, ist alles scheißegal letztendlich, ich fands aber ganz lustig als Randnotiz. Dieser "Rekord" wird wohl erstmal auf sehr lange Sicht Bestand haben.

Übrigens finde ich es sehr gut, dass hier keiner einen Thread zu CoD2 / Mordor 2 / Battlefront 2 aufmacht. Hatte anfang des Jahres alle drei auf meiner Liste - keines von denen wird von mir gekauft. Vielleicht - und das ist wirklich ein *vielleicht* - in etwaigen Complete-Editions in ein bis zweie Jahren für unter 15 EUR.

Edit: Auch gut, diese Einschätzung von vorgestern hier und genauso ist's ja auch gekommen (Grind etwas verkürzt und plötzlich ist der Aufschrei "veraltet", selbst wenn das Problem eigentlich in leicht geringerer Nervstufe in gleicher Form immer noch besteht):

EA spends tens of thousands of man-hours focus testing and doing market research on the optimum way to wring money out of your wallet. This means that one or two days (or weeks or months) of complaining will not get them to change their mind regarding the nature of the progression system. They will not truly "fix" it because they believe that it's working as intended and their accountants and marketing guys will tell them that it is.

A certain amount of players are supposed to get sick of it and stop playing. That's built-in to the calculations, like when Wal-Mart assumes that there will be a certain amount of shoplifting.

That said, they understand that they have a clusterfuck on their hands, so since they are not interested in fixing it, they are going to use a technique referred to as "making the outrage outdated." This was very clearly what they did with the beta. The beta had a great deal of backlash and instead of fixing anything, they "made changes." The effect of these changes were negligible but it didn't matter because all the articles written about the flaws of the beta and the complaints by users became outdated and replaced by articles and comments about how they were making "changes." This allows them to control the narrative of their product without actually losing any money or making significant changes. The fact that the changes didn't help and potentially made the game worse didn't matter.


[...]

And of course, inexplicably, forums will be filled with people who for whatever reason are desperate to point out that your outrage is outdated. You'll say "It takes too long to unlock heroes" and they'll pop up to tell you and everyone else that EA "made changes" to that. Complain about loot box percentages? They "made changes!" What changes? Who gives a fuck. Changes!!!! Every complaint you have will be met with someone who wants to tell you that the reason you have for being upset is outdated.
