Small update to the rules.
Some people apparently thought that the last part of rule 3 only referred to DICE. It has been updated to clearly refer to all developers that are talked about in this forum.

Well, the rule is giving a false statement though, some developers really are incompetent and/or stupid as well as intentionally screwing you over

You're missing the point of the rule. Shitposting about a developer solves no issues. In fact in the past we have had employees from said developers visit the forums for feedback, only to stop reading because the only thing that came of it was insults. This is of course only one example of why the rule is in place, but a good example nonetheless.

I'm not missing the point at all, it's just that the rule is erroneous. Errors do not belong in rules. I've been writing them for ~20 years

This forum is about facts after all. Claiming that no developer is incompetent or that no one is intentionally screwing you over is just plain false.

Pretending that the developer of a tripleA game sold around the world to millions of players is somehow terrible at everything is false.

and why you'd think they'd intentionally screw people over?

Just because the developers aren't always perfect at everything, doesn't make them incompetent. Also just because they don't pander to your every whim, doesn't mean they're screwing you over.

If there was a better supported, better balanced large scale FPS with more content, we'd all be playing that instead. Except we're not. Which would suggest the developers do know what they're doing, and that they're not incompetent. Even if we don't all always agree with every design decision or balancing philosophy.

Developers are not incompetent or stupid and they are not intentionally screwing you over and neither is anyone else.

It says nothing about triple A and there are more than one way to be incompetent. This line is just erroneous and redundant.

The context of the rule is this forum, which hosts Battlefield and CoD stats. tripleA games. If DICE/ect were actually incompetent, these games wouldn't be so successful. Don't pretend otherwise.

Read the rule. Read what I said.



*sigh* You know what, I'm too fucking tired to deal with this pointless shit. If you can't fucking understand what I'm trying to tell you then too bad for you. Hopefully the mods will understand that the line is superfluous.

:D
