I couldn’t agree more with this post and I would (naievly) like to see Asobo provide an open response to it as well.
I think the OP has hit the nail on the head with every point made. This is not about some bitter/twisted ‘PC users vs Xbox users’ hyperbole but rather about what the whole community wants and needs.
It may detract from the post a little, but I would add to these two points to the OPs list:
-
Asobo need to comment on the overall state of fidelity of the sim. The content feels more and more like a beta test with bugged, underdeveloped content missing key features since release. This has been acknowledged but not actioned in a year. I would like to see a plan or intent towards improving key features now Xbox compatibility has landed.
-
Asobo should not commit their dev team to arbitrary deadlines or cycles - this is not a route to success or user satisfaction, evidence would suggest the opposite.
