Can we stop with the demanding?

I've seen and been a part of a decent amount of forums, mostly but not limited to, of online games, but never have I witnessed such abusive and outright ridiculous demanding from its users. What the actual [BAD WORD]?
Not sure what the company policy is on purchased content, cosmetic or otherwise (the game for example), but that's the only thing you might have the right to demand on. For example, if you bought a cosmetic and you don't have it or console players technically not being able to play the game right now.
Meanwhile, left and right, BHVR this, BHVR that, this not good, that not good, i want like this, no, i want like that, weh weh weh.
You paid a fair price for the game which is worth what you paid and if you consider how cheap it is on some platforms, there is absolutely no discussion there. After, whatever you purchased in the game was completely optional, even killers/survivors. You were never promised anything more and if you were, BHVR does not have to comply to anything. Everything you are getting, broken or not, you are getting for free, maybe at the cost of others, but never did you have to spend extra to be allowed to participate in new content. Whatever funding they received other than game purchases were donations with benefits.
I get it, you are frustrated and this is in fact a platform to express your opinion, even if most of the time they are not actually discussions, but nothing better is going to happen if we just fill this forum with stuff like this. 1/10 of the new posts after the event released are actually something good to read, to know, to ask, to discuss. The rest are just rude rants and you are lucky to get away with just a ban and/or deleted post on the forum.
90% of what makes the game broken is its community. (Not a real statistic of course)
Right, well, I got tired of writing and I can't think of anything else right now, and I want to go play the event. I just hope I find something good and interesting to read later on.

Yeah for people that game is barely working, they shouldn't demand for it to work. They should just buy the game and don't ever play it.
I know right?
People need to stop complaining about bhvr releasing sh*t chapters time after time and just shovel money to them so they can release the next sh*t chapter half baked and full of bugs like this one.
Bro, we cant even play the game we ve paid for. What do you expect.
^ this. I play on switch so "pain threshold" for what I consider playable is quite high but this is just inexcusable
Imagine demanding the game to work. Preposterous.
(:
If bhvr fixed problems in a more timely manner and listened to the community, you know the one, the people who keep their company afloat by giving them money, there would be far less complaining.
they just took my forum post down about my frustrations. I think you lose this one m8
No.
Ludicrous, if you will.
Oof what an awful take, they literally shiped an update to console and took their money knowing full well it would render the game unplayable for them and you're really gonna throw out a leave Britney alone on us, I hate whining and self entitlement but this is entirely on BHV, perhaps you should look into what's going on before you waste so much energy on your bad takes.
It would be one thing if the complaints were about aspects of the game other than its playability. People have every right to be pissed if the changes made have made the game unplayable on certain platforms. When a game is released for sale on a specific platform, the customer should have every expectation that the game will work on that platform indefinitely. If I knew before purchasing a game that the content and features would be altered in such a way as to make the game unplayable at some point in the future, I would not purchase the game and I certainly wouldn’t dump any money into cosmetics or DLCs. Customers have every right to demand that either the game be fixed or their money refunded, including all purchases on cosmetics or DLCs.
I play on PC so fortunately I haven’t had to deal with the playability issues (in fact it runs better than it has in the past, so certainly no complaints from me!) but I definitely feel bad for those who are playing on consoles like Switch and PS4
This animosity has been bubbling for quite a while now
Seems like people have had enough but, who knows
If people aren't happy, they have the right to complain.
Tell what you said to the poor people playing on old gen. They've had it quite bad recently and I bet they'll get no more than a few bloodpoints as compensation.
I would stop if the game actually worked
How do BHVR's boots taste, OP?
Body is 1 character too short.
You spelt defending wrong. You said accidentally wrote demanding.
FOR A PREVIEW OF TONIGHT'S TOP STORIES:
*COMPANIES HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE GARBAGE
*INDIVIDUALS HAVE RIGHTS TOO, LIKE CALLING COMPANIES GARBAGE FOR THINGS THEY DON'T LIKE.
*LOCAL MAN'S CONFUSING RANT REVEALS TOTAL IGNORANCE OF RIGHTS AS A CONCEPT.
NEWS AT 11.
Uh huh. Alright
That is not what most people are complaining about. It's "the event isn't fun enough" or "I want more cakes" or "I have a problem with the crowns". You don't need to spend much time on the forum to know OP is right.
People complain about a lot of stuff actually, some gamebreaking, some not, that is true. But this is what op said and I quote:
"Not sure what the company policy is on purchased content, cosmetic or otherwise (the game for example), but that's the only thing you might have the right to demand on."
How is op right again?
They have the right to complain, yes. OP also has the right to complain about the complaining.
Most of the people whining on the forum are not doing so because of issues like constant crashes and terrible performance. I have a lot of sympathy for people running into that. I have a lot of frustration with the people whining because the event isn't as fun as they hoped. Like ######### please, you probably paid $10-20 for this game and they've done nothing but add content, most of which is free for all players. Yes the game is a buggy mess, yes I wish it ran better, but the entitlement is super annoying.
When I first started interacting with the community I though it was weird that everyone called it toxic. As time has gone on, I've started to agree, just for different reasons. People are usually chill in the post game chat, but there are a heck of a lot of people who incessantly complain about events and free DLC. If this were COD or something you wouldn't be able to play on the new maps without buying the DLC. You also definitely couldn't grind for the new content by just playing the game.
Well, this thread backfired, didn't it ?
You technically have the right to complain about whatever you'd like. Still, in my opinion, people are not justified in obnoxiously complaining about the quality of free events and free DLC. No one here bought a seasons pass in which the devs promised regular content drops. All of this stuff is free. Insulting the devs because they didn't make good enough free content is entitled, annoying, and regrettably widespread on the forum. OP is absolutely right to call that out.
Why make a thread if you don't get the most upvotes? /s
I think it's alright.
A good amount of comments, some worth the read, even an upvote. See, I would say most people here disagree with what I said, not quite with the topic precisely. And hey I didn't make my post extremely precise and explanatory so I got no right to say anything on the comments. But here, I see alright comments, nothing too rude, nothing wasting my time, at least a little detail. That's not really the case with the forum.
I think it's at the very least better then assumptions on company assets and demands on how they should be spent.
I don't think it's wrong to complain, I think as a community we need to complain in such a way that there is no reason to not be listened to. Demanding will not help, being rude will not help, basing outcomes on fiction will not help.
Completely agree with your point here. Imo the majority of the complaints on the forum, now and always, are not about the game's playability, though.
You're right....up to a degree. The exception being Console players who purchased a product but the product doesn't perform or work as advertised...AKA the cyberpunk buggy mess treatment. Other than that....yeah....forum is full of weh weh weh....*spirit noises*
exactly, if you're selling a product no matter what it is, you're gonna get an honest review.
