Original Post — Direct link

Other game DEVs large and small communicate with their fan base through reddit or a Forum’s and answer questions and concerns. You guys seem to have tried that at the beginning but now all I see is a comment on a clip every now and then You guys are almost as bad as Bioware (anthem game) when it comes to interacting with the community. At least address our concerns, please

Any plans to do dev blogs or something? Not trying to put you on blast but I figured I’d drop this here anyways.

Dev blogs would be really cool to see and while I know Vonderhaar does (kinda) do them they come out soooo scarcely it’s like we never know what’s going on.

Edit: To clarify Vonderhaar does these developer update videos. Not blog posts

Just to be clear. Questions like yours aren't blast material. I appreciate you reaching that middle ground with me though.

We've found video to perform well, but I understand the request for words. Are you looking for written commentary or white paper blogs? How do you feel about our Reddit updates?

How about you start your communication by being honest with your intentions with the new weapons obtainable through reserves? You made them overpowered on purpose to make people gamble for those things with their hard earned money. You are a professional developer for COD and things like that do not happen by accident. Just for your information: No one cares about HOW you communicate (reddit comments, videos, ...), it is about WHAT you communicate. ignoring the concerns of thousand other people at least on this sub while answering requests like the one above (dev blogs that literally no one is interested in) is not a good way to connect to the base. It feels like teaching „Fan communication 101“ to people who should be professionals for that since a satisfied fanbase is the key for running a successful business.

Please check my bio. I don't make any decisions.

Edit: Quick note that we made tuning adjustments to various weapons today. Check them out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/bzg7kz/june_11th_update_a_note_on_new_weapons_days_of/

What Reddit updates?

I was asking Dustyroflman about these in contrast to his other points.

How about you talk or at least notice us, when something goes down or shit hits the fan for you guys. We will be ok as long as you just say there is a problem. If there are problems that the whole community screams at then deal with it and talk with us. We don’t need daily talks, or monthly checkups we need you to be responsive when we need you

Just so we're clear: That is currently not my primary focus. I don't have the authority or agency to do that often and about some of the topics players are concerned about. I do however share them with various members of the team. - If you have a reproducible bug or someone that needs the ban hammer pointed in their direction, then that I can easily engage on.
