Being a game dev is so rear end lol, people complain about videogames like it's actual politics making you lose your house or some poo poo while you die if diabetes because you can't afford your insulin but really it's because clicking on poo poo isn't as fun as it could be.

I'd double down and say this is exactly what our vision of the game is and we're working towards a better balance etc etc

Instead they actually have actually no idea what the vision is so they have to apologize this is unreal.

Also not something you do in parts!

To go forwards you must some times go backwards, to go east you must go west, and to buff you must nerf.

The internets memory is short so we're gonna nuke the stats now, apologize, deleted this video, you'll forget, and then for season 2 we'll bright it back to preseason status and you'll love all the buffs and we'll be heroes again.

They're talking like this is this team's first live service game. I mean, it is for Diablo technically, but aren't most of these devs from the mmo space?
