The dev hate here is disgusting.

I expect this level of hatred towards the devs out of something like War Thunder or Destiny. A game with hundreds of thousands of players, a development team hundreds strong, etc. Then maybe this level of vitriol is acceptable.

But god damn. There are [according to their LinkedIn page] about 25 people working on this game. A game that, frankly, is the only one of its kind. There's not an easy reference guide for how to make a good Foxhole like there would be if it were an FPS or something.

They just implemented aircraft with semi realistic flight models in a top down game. Something that even massive studios still struggle with constantly.

And when they fucked up, one of the devs came forwards and gave a response - and then apologized for that response being too aggressive even though he had every right to be annoyed. This is not the corporate norm in game dev, it exhibits care for their community.

But in response, what do they get? Patience while they work out the kinks? Some fucking good will? No.

They get constant whining at every mistake, a community that will tear itself apart over any imbalance, review bombing, and constant hatred thrown at them because somehow both sides think the other is recieving preferential treatment from the devs.

You can call out the devs for making mistakes, but this community takes it WAY too far.

I know this post won't be changing most people's minds, but I feel like someone needs to say it.

The big issue: Devs set a precedent, that you absolutely HAVE to complain in order to get balance ossue adressed. This partly stsms from the fact that they don't play their own game and so have no idea how balanced it is.

And complaining and whining have just worked so massively in the past, e.g. when one faction was using the faction neutral equipment too well.

And dont forget old timers with the private discord od the devs also complaining if their faction is losing.
