How many SOT employees would actually play SOT?

    I was wandering....
    How many SOT employees would actually play sot now a days?
    Versus, how many used to play on 2020 or 2021?

    I mean, really play it. In your free time. As a player, not as a job. For the simple fact of that you LIKE the game. and enjoying it with the intensity you pretend other players to enjoy it.

    Probably the answer to that question is nearly impossible to answer for many reasons. Reasons like signed NDA or personal privacy. But I believe, on top of that, one of the reasons could be shame.

    In the company I work (not gaming related BTW) the majority of the employees really believe that if you don't enjoy the product you are building, you'd be miserable at your job. So I trust in my collegues with what we build because we are going in the same direction with strong values. And if not, we know that somebody should be looking for another job.

    I have the fantasy of visualizing Rare employes in 2021 playing the game after office times for fun, and when they see something they don't really like, start to rant along the hallways of the Rare offices and pushing bug fixings on top of the priority tasks list screaming "we can not go live with this, guys!" because they want to keep the quality. Versus 2025 where people just open Jira looking for the lowest hanging fruit issue and working on it during days while nobody really pays any attention to the final result saying "I don't need to play it. That's why we have an UX department in [insert a city name here, probably in Asia where it is cheaper than Americas or Europe to get IT services]"

    I bet that the number of players in the company has descended drastically

    ... and... just in case you read this post thinking "I will explain things here" ... just don't =)

    And I wonder what actually you think you're gonna achieve with a post like this? Whether we agree or not with something from your post, this post is just gonna get locked for basically ragebating and no actual feedback about the game.

    This post would make more sense with support rather than the forum, since you're obviously complaining about devs.

    Also:

    Just in case you post something like this expecting people not to reply however they want, on a public forum ... just don't. ;)

    Ragebating? Where is the ragebating here? It is a genuine question about how its feel the development inside the company. There are no insults or anything. I believe you are reading it with a wrong tone (if such thing exists)

    No. I am not complaining. Please read above.

    Again, I still think you are reading it with a tone that is nto there.
    I sayd "do not replay explaining things" because it is pointless. But opinions and healthy discussions are always welcomed.

    Cheers, mate

    If you're not ragebating, and at the same time "do not reply explaining things because it is pointless", then again - what is the point of this post?

    You're at the same time saying we shouldn't discuss and should discuss hahaha idk mate. It's either I'm really struggling with reading comprehension this afternoon, or you're having difficulty wording it correctly. Or 3rd - let's not play pretend.

    And if we were to discuss, what's there to discuss? By all means, give me an example then.

    The only vibe I'm still getting from this post is "Who's with me that devs lost passion for the game", just less aggressive than the other ones. Aggressive or not though, these types of posts are the ones always getting locked, because they don't contribute to anything.
