This is the strongest way, we the users can make it clear. We the customers are watching and waiting for results.
This is the reason why i think it would be best for AoS to remain free for as long as it is in development. People have some weird fantasy that when they buy the game, it gives them some kind of power over the developers, it makes the consumer their boss, and they think they can tell them what to do. And in this case, the consumer even uses Ye ol' "If you don't do as i tell you, i won't buy it!!"-card.
Now, there's no reason to rustle your jimmies. Take a deep breath and apply salva to your clenching butt. Aimbotting should be dealth with, and it's so much of a problem people are leaving the game. I just wanted to correct your false thought of consumers being above the developers. You do not tell them what to do, but you can leave a suggestion of what they should do next. If they decide to add, for example, flying giant c*cks that shoot rainbows and drop sandwiches over proper aimbot detection, it's their own fault when people leave.
LOL No clenching here. That happened a while back, when I found the aimbot source. When I watched the video of how it works. And when I read even deeper, into the development of aimbot.
Presently from the horses mouth. (ie the hackers that wrote the real aimbot script) The developers have absolutely no anti-cheat system of any kind period.
I am not demanding anything, I am attempting to dangle a carrot.
I am not asking the developer to use my design ideas. I am not demanding my style of game play. I am asking, and yes expecting that they do something, anything, to level the playing field. Between those of us that play the game, the way the developer intends, and the jackasses that feel they must cheat for what ever reason.
As for the consumer not being a boss.
Every profession, and I mean anyone that gets paid by someone else has a boss, or bosses. I have the opportunity and the ability to live a dream life of self employment. I sign the payroll checks. I make the rules. I do things my way. I have full control of my business and its products everyday.
Each and every person that purchases my products or uses my services is my boss. If they want something, ask nicely, and
if it is possible they get it, in exchange for compensation. That is just how life works on this planet.
When you say fantasy of having some kind of power. I say, that should be applied to anyone that thinks it is ok, to charge money for a shoddy product. We all know there are thousands of companies selling defective and poorly built products. And turning a profit at it. Some people have honor, and others don't.
As for software, it is a little different. One product for all. So compromises will be made.
I guess we will see, in the long run what the developers and the community will do with, or without this product.
TL:DR I still stand by the meaning of the of the statement you quoted.
