As a consumer if a company makes a product i like i will buy it, but if said company release a product that does not interest me in the slightest (deadly creatures and so on) and then blames me as a consumer for its failure, that is when i will start to resent the company. As a consumer i am king, you can not tell me what to buy with my money period! This is what all this bitterness boils down to. |
What I personally think is worse is when a company continues to push forward with a project that has a dramatically negative reaction with the user-base when it is announced; and then blames those users for not buying a game when they made it clear that they did not want the game in the first place. The prime example of this was EA with Dead Space Extraction.
Now, this doesn’t (necessarily) mean that a company should always listen to the noisy members of a user base, but if you’re making a game in a niche genre that is already over-represented on a platform and the users seem disappointed when you announce the game you should question the logic of continuing forward with that game in its current form.
