You love a product. The company updates it. Now it sucks. We’ve all been there. This happens all the time in the gaming industry. Developers ignore the community, roll out updates no one wanted, and ruin their most loyal players’ experience. (I'm still sad about what happened to Star Wars Battlefront II. If you don't know the story, look it up.) I’ve been gaming for most of my life. As games have gotten bigger, more complex, and more ambitious, one thing has stood out: There's a massive disconnect between what communities want and what developers deliver. But fear not, dear reader, we come not with problems, but also solutions, as I’ve laid out in this video. I believe that studios need to start curating an “Inner Circle”. A space where top gamers and developers can co-create the best possible outcomes. I floated this idea on Reddit last night, and someone called it a "Virtual Board of Directors." Not gonna lie, I don’t think they’re far off. Shoutout to u/ttoxictomato for that take. So… any of you gamers? Or, more importantly ... anyone know someone at a gaming studio who should see this?
