Yesterday, I told you how Randy Pitchford’s twitter Q&A didn’t quite go as planned. In fact, it was a bit of a disaster as people jumped on the hashtag to berate the Gearbox CEO about Aliens: Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever. He responded in his usual affable, down-to-earth way.
Speaking at the Develop conference in Brighton, he alluded to the questions asked in the build up to the conference and explained how he sees vocal critics of games:
If you’re making entertainment on a grand scale, if you’re reaching millions, there will be tens of thousands of people who absolutely hate us, and some percentage of those will take it upon themselves to let us known how they feel.
I read it in this way: we moved those people, we touched them – even the person who hates [your game] so much, you’ve affected them. That’s why we fight, we’re creating emotion and experience – and some people thrive on that type of feeling, some people are sadists.
He goes on to compare it to sandcastles on the beach. Some people might walk past and admire or criticize the sandcastle, but there will always be those who want to attack it, to crush it. Sure, I get that, but at the same time, if you promise people a sandcastle and instead show them a mound of malformed sand, of course they’re going to stomp on it and call you a fraud.
The online world is rough and sure, there are trolls out there who thrive on getting a rise out of others. However, to write off anyone who criticizes your creation as a sadist seems a bit irresponsible to me. I like Pitchford, and I like his analogy, but I also wish studios would take responsibility when they publish sub-par games instead of claiming that everyone is too harsh or doesn’t get it. Yes, call trolls on being trolls, but also recognize when criticisms of your products are valid.

I remember when I was on the beach in Cape Town about 7 years ago. Built this lovely moat-thing, the waves would come, fill up my moat, I’d dig it bigger, waves would come, fill it up even more. I was quite chuffed with myself. And some douchebag walked by when I wasn’t there, and broke the wall, breaking about 30 minutes of building, within a few seconds.
So yes, you get asswipes out there.

This is the most diverse comment section I’ve read in a while, from fashion tips for people in Vereeniging, to advice on how to charge into the Cold Cape sea, to dietary advise, to recipes for the most amazing malva pudding… This is awesome, simply sublime…

My middle-mouse roll button broke a few days ago. The rubber is shredded and black parts came off it. I blame and thank Lagz.

I find that untrue. Bottoms are only soft after their bath. The rest of the time it is wrinkly and nasty

July 16, 2015 at 12:39
Haha. Exactly. Luckily (read unlucky) my work doesn’t pay for sh!t. So it’s my own mouse. But it’s a desktop set, so now I’m screwed.

I do procurement, but the supplier does not stock Razer, so I got a wireless MS Sculpt mouse. And I must say, quite a nice mouse!
Captain JJ Eyebrows
July 16, 2015 at 12:42
I have an arc mouse at home which is rubbish for gaming, so i’ll just bring it and break that roll button. Love my MS stuff. Decent quality.

Kudos to Randy for handling it the way he did.
Zoe:
“Sure, I get that, but at the same time, if you promise people a
sandcastle and instead show them a mound of malformed sand, of course
they’re going to stomp on it and call you a fraud.”
I understand what you’re saying, but the point that Randy was making is that some people SEE a mound of malformed sand, others see a masterpiece.
Yes, the cases of Duke Nukem and Colonial are bad examples, but I suspect that even when it’s a masterpiece, Randy is right, there will be tens of thousands of guys bashing your game… because they can.

To this day, I have never ever crushed a sandcastle. Why do what the elements will surely do for you? Such a foolish waste of energy.
