LostCiv: The steam charts do not lie. Under 4k players at todays peak, the lowest that the game has ever been while the servers were up. Ironmace had a stranglehold on this genre but they absolutely threw any chance of success out the window over the past year.

lizardwaffles: the fact that it took sdf 15 paragraphs to say "i suck at communicating, we suck at planning, also we dont wanna follow successful formulas, i am satisfied with the current state of the game" tells me all I need to know about where this game is going and what the developers are doing to it.

wanderingwind9601: Dark and Darker could have been such a good game if they had focused on the dungeon crawling aspect of the game from the get go. Instead the devs and the community only wanted PvP and that’s why we are where we are.

joelkummer3372: Well, only 3000 players on Steam. Yes we are cooked.

jumps2296: I used to love this game and now nothing about it feels rewarding

JaytoroTS: I love how when sdf gets into any of these dnd streamer's chats, everyone starts switchin' up like the president just walked in.

johnniewilliams2319: Yes DaD is dead finally we can rest

adalex_4290: I miss when you could play this game with anyone. My nearly 50 year old uncle should be able to give this game a fair shot, but with such quick time to kill it’s impossible for some gamers to react imo.

YoiteVLR: nah, i dont agree with " if you dont like - dont". "if you dont like crimes just dont do it". a lot of ppl in community mad coz they LIKE the game, but keep getting scummed. remember bard for red shards? i got it! remember this season with p2w pass? you bet ppl had it! if you CARE, you gonna be mad. it is VERY personal for a lot of ppl, coz all "bad thing" connected to one guy. if he cant handle it - "suck it up and be a man". at the end of the day - its just words at the internet, what harm?

standardcake18: "If you hate the game, dont play it"

this argument has been used since the dawn of time. we want it to be better, thats why we complain and rant, because its clearly not going in a good direction, but we still want the game to succeed.

SkrugMan: I loved this game, it really sucks they ran it into the fucking ground and have done absolutely nothing to fix it.

DinisF97: Ironmace has around 100 employees, SDF's action is compromising all of their careers, so yes we will say he'd be stepping up by resigning.

evg5023: "If u dont like game dont play it". BRO! We like game, we wana play it. But last one patch just fkin robe us. Thats all. We wana revert or modify this shit to play again with pleasure.

jeffersonderrickson5371: Damage is now desynchronized too.

TheGriff130: Womp Womp

Affektlv: Respect is earned. Being polite is something different entirely and should be in effect. I do understand the annoyance the community has because they keep changing the game and THEY STILL "BALANCE" IN DOUBLE DIGITS, its madness.

Silas_Kow: Bro did it!!! SDF finaly made Sparky abandon long sword!

slim09876: remember when dark and darker was just a small goblin cave map? yeah lets go back to that era and not this dogshit where npcs are better and do more damage than actual players..

Nope_Nerds: Homie said "I dont want them to reverse the patch because the game will die"... Brother they gutted the most popular game queues, they forced 1v3 game play, they removed normal ques in addition to all the bugs and nerfs. How is DaD supposed to get new players now? Run the trios gauntlet till you get good?

Shadowfax2121: Man took our money and is failing to deliver, kind of earned the spite he's getting to be honest.

daigoroh666: Thank you for your kind words. Criticism and feedback are important, even if the person addressed doesn’t mention it or pays no attention. But simply speaking like scum to cause harm is senseless and counterproductive.

TankyCrobat: Yeah... I mean... I don't support bullying first and foremost.

So when people say SDF resign all at the same time, it's bullying.

HOWEVER, this does not mean I don't empathize with the people who are frustrated with the game. I get where they're coming from, but it doesn't justify their actions. There are better ways to show how unsatisfied you are with something. Like ghosting the game.

dangernoodle3343: I really don't get the meatriding for sdf. Like people praying for his downfall are crazy sure but he's objectively killing this game with his complete lack of vision. He rightfully deserves to be criticized for letting the game get to such a sorry state, especially if the rumors that he doesn't listen to any of the other Ironmace devs opinions are to be believed

TJDragoonie: I hate being a doomer, but it's been a good run. Still love this game, still want to see it succeed, but it seems SDF is incapable of seeing what the true problem is with his recent "kitchen explanations". In the meantime, I've really come to enjoy Tarkov LOL!
