I must say, this has got to be one of the most interesting development stories ever! I mean, how can so many terrible decisions be made by one group of executives and for one game?!

It's a lesson on corporate gaming inevitably leading to shitty creatively bankrupt franchises. Nothing "new" to learn here. It has always been like this.

[@ramage7646]

It's not the developer's (DICE) fault. I'm a developer (a software engineer, programmer, or a... developer... whatever). And we just build stuff. The actual brain of the company are the executives. They make the decisions, then they tell us to do this. And so we do it. I've had projects where I tell myself, holy fuck this is gonna be a disaster, why would the execs decide on this? Then I remember, those that control us developers, they have business degrees, not computer science/game design backgrounds... They always think of profit instead of making the actual games look and feel good. This is the truth behind big companies. It's always these dumb morons at the top who are so out of touch of the consumer's wants, because they are... So high in their heads, and in their position, that they can't see what's below. And so this is what happens when dumb corporates think of developers as 'just there to build' as if it was the modern equivalent of construction workers. And so they leave. We leave. Then the dumb corpos do a pikachu face, and gets surprised when they realize they're gonna spend time and money to hire new people, and spend even more time training them to use the tools that we previous devs have built. Fuck executives.

Final Fantasy 14 had to be basically rebuilt because it was so hated, but now it's one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market because they put in the time and effort to improve and listen to customer feedback. They literally had an in universe apocalypse and rebuilt the world. Now most the people into the game are borderline fanatical about it, and that's largely due to the fact the game actually tries to appeal to them.

When I was a kid I remember playing RTS and RPG games that had randomly generated maps. I thought to myself "It is only a matter of time and they will have this infinite map feature in FPS games!" Time wore on and I got older and realized it wasn't going to happen. Eventually games like Halo 3 and Mount and Blade Warband released and I thought to myself that crowdsourcing (mod sourcing?) map development and integrating the best ones into the base game would be the future. Time wore on and I got older and realized it wasn't going to happen. Call of duty 4 modern warfare was released in 2007 with 16 maps and 45 guns. Fifteen years later they released Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 two with 15 maps and 33 guns. You vote with your wallet. Don't be the sucker paying more for less.

My original idea was that "damn, those builds are so pretty to just collect dust in steam workshop and eventually be forgotten, more people should see them" Surely, when money involved it would change things, but I don't believe it is impossible to establish a working system... didn't Fortnite achieve that actually?
