>game used to have a really good community
>ruined by a single bad actor
Many such cases

tell me again why does every video game suddenly need a paid and active COMMUNITY MANAGER role?

why cant the developers or publishers you know...actually interact with their audience? or better yet read feedback seriously from their players instead of outsourcing it.

>>715449551
The monetisation of the internet and its consequences

>>715449551
>tell me again why does every video game suddenly need a paid and active COMMUNITY MANAGER role?
Because it makes the game way better by having a line of communication between the company and individual players of the game.

>>715449785
>an intermediary step is better than direct communication
uhhhhh......
????

>tfw you were that bad actor
I still get a laugh over ruining a forum by spamming and lying about users. Ahh to be young

>>715449849
Community manager is direct communication. I was saying they're good.

The mistake is listening to the loudest and most vocal playerbase that account to 5% of your players.
Allowing corporations to weaponize these vocal players to undermine their competitors

>>715449918
The community manager is often not part of the dev team and are the first people thrown under the bus. See Helldivers 2.

>>715449918
No it's not. You are talking so some idiot who doesn't play the game and is not in any way involved in its development. That's why 90% of their response to criticism or concerns is "We heard you and will pass your feedback to the team." (They won't do shit.)

>>715449918
Dude Saints Row has zero communication. Every normie wanted GTA. What we got was a LGBT WOKEfest.

Yep.

no such thing for years since 3rd party dedicated servers are mostly dead

>>715449551
Have you ever sold anything? The last thing on earth anyone would ever want is to interact with their fucking customers.

Also you want lots of layers in place so you can blame others for stuff if something goes wrong.

>>715450412
/v/ have had speedrun threads for over a decade here during speedrun events.
In recent year a certain unpaid cleaner has made it their life's goal to monitor those threads 24/7 and going full NO-FUN-ALLOWED

>>715450786
Because you weren't here when these threads were around when Jupiter, Manlet Tears, Ruggarell, and the retards at /foolz/ were spamming the entire board with them
You also weren't here before the catalog existed, meaning it the first 2 pages were those threads or SC General.

Final Fantasy XIV, one of the biggest IPs on the planet, ran by one of the biggest Japanese game companies.

The director and producer interacts 1:1 with the players directly.

Meanwhile shitty western games like Saints Row cant do this.

>>715451072
>The director and producer interacts 1:1 with the players directly.
No they are not, what the fuck are you smoking? I play the game and everyone shits on the devs for NEVER interacting with the community at all?
Or are you seriously suggesting the liveletters which is them saying "this is what you will get next patch... oh also buy our merchandise" is communicating with the players?

>>715449551
Because posting shit on social media is something an intern can do for cheap.
The devs have better things to do.

>>715449340 (OP)
Pretty much what happened with CharacterAI thanks to one pedo tranny bragging about his fetish in official CAI discord.

>>715450069
>are the first people thrown under the bus
That's part of the value of a community manager. They're cheap replaceable fall guys you can dispose of if something goes wrong without losing dev talent.

>>715449916
>me when I get an entire server to delete their fucking memes channel because I posted an image with the caption "kikes on bikes"
I don't care if I end up "blacklisted" by the "community" (read: hated by trannies).
It'll go in my trophy room, along with the others!

>>715451637
The community manager often is what gets them in the bad situation in the first place. Game is bad because bad feedback implementation. Why game has bad feedback implementation? Because they outsource it to community manager. They saved $60k upfront but lost multi millions in the end. Bad business decision you made retard.

>>715451860
>do you even know what that means?

>>715450916
/b/ was the beacon of this whole website, the nexus of meme creation and hijinx. It's not just another porn board. It couldn't have lost any harder

>>715451941
>Game is bad because bad feedback implementation.
lol, feedback is 99% trash
digging through the trash is a full time job
no reason to make the devs do that

>>715451618
I think this generation taught us one thing. if you've found a lucrative career path that is in high demand , do not brag about it. keep your fucking mouth shut about it.

>>715449916
lmao

>>715449551
>tell me again why does every video game suddenly need a paid and active COMMUNITY MANAGER role?
the company needs a fall guy if the game flops. something managers can point to when investors are not satisfied with returns.

Bald and Piglike ended up deleting the entire Penny Arcade forum because their fans would NOT stop talking about how badly they wanted to murder Gamergators/Trump/Immigration Authorities/Israelis/Russians/Capitalists/etc. no matter how much the mods banned or begged

I assume at some point the FBI contacted them and they said "fuck it, we don't need a community forum anymore"

>>715452427
for realsies?

>>715449551
>why cant the developers or publishers you know...actually interact with their audience?
lol
That's the last thing you want to do. Tons of devs are autistic or narcissists and will insult the players that find something wrong with their game. You can easily pay or just find some idiot willing to do it for free. Now that's not 100% full proof and you can end up with situations like pic related.

This person got fired and they had to wake up the guy in charge of PR in the middle of the night so he could apologize to an incredibly angry playerbase. Dude was on for like 6 straight hours writing apology comments on steam.

>>715452498
For realsies on the forum being deleted, although their actual stated reasoning was all corporate boilerplate "we are pursuing other avenues and treasure the years of fun and community you guys brought us but can no longer support an official forum"
It's just my conjecture that the final year or so there were near daily mod outbursts of "for FUCK'S sake stop advocating shooting people" the Trump shooting thread had no surviving posts except mod posts saying shit like "I hate Trump too, vote against him in November, we are better than this"

I believe in free speech.
This includes being able to say whatever the hell I want. Got a problem with it? Take it up with me and we can discuss it.

>>715449340 (OP)
>painted over the dicks
But why?

>>715449551
most devs arent autistically passionate about their games to trawl their forums. Pic rel is the only time Ive seen a dev actively respond to fans on the steam forums and reply to reviews (even offering refunds past the 2hr limit if its negative).

>>715452727
I was there. Fun threads on forums that day :)

>>715452216
Game devs have actual telemetry play data.
A community manager doesnt because they're not part of the dev team.

>>715452369
So they save little money upfront but lose big money in the end. Read the chain.

>>715449551
There is a game in development right now by a professional studio where the developers have actually been doing this. It's been working well and built a lot of hype for the game.
I think the reason most devs don't do this is that the developers don't actually care about the game they're making. It's a job, and posting on a forum or writing dev diaries or interacting with redditors is "not their job".
Whereas if you build a studio for the purpose of making a certain game, led by the guy who wants to make that game, and hire people who want to make that game, then they'll be excited to talk about it and promote it to players. Your biggest problem will be going overboard and spending too much time on that instead of the main job.

"Community manager" does have an actual role, it mainly amounts to self-promotion on social media. If the "community manager" is playing PR guy and acting as an obstacle between the devs and the players then you're doing it wrong. if they're posting random shit on facebook to pump the algorithm then sure, great, that's advertising.

>>715449551
Developers aren't hired for their customer facing skill, they're supposedly hired for their ability to codemonkey or create stuff.
As someone who works in a customer facing job, if I got a job somewhere like development but then also got told I had to interact with the customers I would be extremely displeased.

>>715449621 is correct but doesn't explain. Because the internet is normie mainstream now, it has to be wrangled. If you don't moderate your own game or ban people for saying bad things, a company mught fear being seen as irresponsible. Don't forget about ESG scores, can't have motherfuchers allowed to have the opprotunity to hurt someone's feelings, so they go Nazi mode with moderating fun and banter out of any experience. It's just that pearl clutchers drank so much kool aid that they support and go along with it.

Community managers are not meant to be a bridge between a players and devs. That's what they want you to believe. They are PR. Public relations. Aka damage control.

Sounds like a management issue. Satisfactory CM's were kept almost entirely up to date on features that either were or weren't going to be in the game. Even if they didn't know the answer one week they would the next or even later the same stream when they shot off a message.

that's a fucking good one, holy shit
my favorite was when someone took offense to my "God-King of Racism" title in my bio
i decided to play the same game and saw they had 2.2k hours in warframe and 2k hours in Destiny 2, alongside 400 hours of FNV, and the "poor tranny" immediately started to complain

i am never removing that fucking title, it's the best filter known to mankind

>>715453383
To add on to this, as someone who works as a software engineer (not in the vidya industry) and is now in middle management, I think maybe only 25% of software developers have the communication skills and general social competence to be trusted with any sort of customer-facing position. Most people I work with I would absolutely never want to trust with making public statements as a representative of the company. It's not that they're bad people, but they're just bad at writing, bad at expressing what it is they want to convey, and - most dangerously - bad at NOT expressing what they DON'T want to convey. There simply is not a lot of overlap in the skillset required to be a software developer and the skillset required for a customer -facing position, and as a result the majority of people are not proficient with both.

And, as you say, most of these people don't want to be interacting with customers or the outside public in the first place, so asking them to start making forum posts about the project or whatever would hurt morale.

>>715454225
I got banned from GDQ's Twitch chat for saying "lol"
For context, I said it during a segment announcing an upcoming "women only" speedrunning event

>>715449551
>why cant the developers or publishers you know...actually interact with their audience?
Because they have strong feelings about this or that which will alienate the audience and are often autistic fools who aren't good with people.
Someone says one stupid thing once and it will never be forgotten. Why risk it?

>>715454504
I also got banned from a jrpg server and Twin Perfects server for saying Aerith Dies.

And a streamers chat for posting a cockroach (someone had cockroach phobia) and a Mistakes into Miracles meme of pregnant spongebob. I got shadow banned from all of reddit for using mod mail to call the mod of r/digimon a nigger for years. But what's funny is it might have doing that to tell the mod of Xenogears to fuck off after deleting my post about asking for help on the last boss but keeping up gang rape NTR pregnancy monster birth muscle porn

>>715454673
The fucked thing was it was a benzodiazepine support group and my last message before I left and the tranny attacked me was 'I'm bedridden in severe pain because my chronic health issues flared and I'm not sure of I'll be able to find a doctor to refill my medication so I might have to go cold Turkey and get seizures and die can anyone help'

Then 'THAT GUY IS A TRANSPHOBE GET HIM'


FUCK TRANNIES LMAO it would have been nice to have support for that. BUT imagine all the normal faggots who might have gotten redpilled from that shit. Trannies are fucking monsters and probably think I deserve to die of benzo withdrawal after that anyways.

I know you're right but I never fully troll people I always do it by accident or just fucking around with people Inthought weren't politically correct.

I had something similar when I had a username like Arch-Magnus of Tism and some moderator in my niche hobby discord started to throw his dick around because my name was ableist... despite being autistic myself. He didn't care and kept insisting that a theoretical person could get offended therefore its bigotry or some shit.
A part of me wonders is if this how blacks feel when a whitey bans them for using nigga.

>>715455486
I still can't imagine holding in something as fucking stupid as 'I cant tell the difference between ugly women and trans women anymore' for 8 whole goddamn days. Its really funny now because it outed everyone who got mad as an ugly tranny OR insecure ugly woman. And I wasnt saying they didnt pass.

I think the only time I ever used discord was to join a writers server for a website that was doing a writathon. I instantly got banned and then one of the server jannies tried to get me to do a humiliation ritual where I kowtow 10x to him and apologize for my name and then maybe I would be let back in. I think my username was HighImpactSexualViolence so the whiplash of some janny getting 200% assmad over it bewildered me so hard that I just told the dude to fuck off and uninstalled discord.

Now we have Latinx and SEAmonkies spamming Gacha shit and literal CSAM, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as the bullshit off topic of the past. Though, my filter usually filters 30 threads

>>715449551
Obviously the best thing you can have is a developer who is charismatic and legally/socially aware enough to balance the community side of PR as well as do his job, but the thing is that there arent enough of this type of person in the world for them to be used on community-facing roles. Generally this type of person is already a development head and is juggling his own work plus the charisma aspect of selling the game to publisher CEO boards and also managing interpersonal relationships inside the dev team.

>>715456579
The thing is that back when page1 browsing, people would see "american levels" and just fucking ignore the bait OP and start discussing a video game in the thread, and you too would ignore the OP and read the recent comments and respond to those.

With catalog browsing and especially filters, a shit thread is forever a shit thread, and there is no method for a user to improve the average quality of the board.

Because on larger projects with stricter deadlines it can sidetrack devs from working on the actual game. In theory, it's more efficient to get someone who can take the progress developers have made and condense it into easily understandable updates to give to the community.

Gets even worse when you become a moderator for such a large community, then you get to tardwrangle the retards yourself. If you're of the old stock 25+ years old, then you'll notice how things like Google have gone fucking extinct if it comes to the current, average internet users.

People who've been in certain professions tend to suck at explaining shit in laymens' terms and tend to devolve into using terminology related to their field. Every talk to an orthopedic hand surgeon? They tend to start using terms and shit that might mean nothing to your average person. Same can go for coders and shit. Ask a coder how the physics or rendering in their game work and they might try to explain it in algorithms and coding terminology that'll leave the average person scratching their head wondering what the fuck they're even talking about. It helps to have someone who can interpret what the developer is talking about and basically dumb it down into laymen's terms that people can actually understand.

Last time i went to an ophthalmologist i asked what are some dark spots i have in the whites of my eyes, and he proceeded to pull out a massive encyclopedia of eye conditions to try and find an example to explain it well to me, all while stuttering and rambling about some of the stuff he went through while looking
Honestly it was really interesting, the dude is 1000% immersed in his field lmao

Because they've been raised abd "educated" by a culture of thin-skinned bitchfaggotry and SSRIs. It's already too great an ask wanting them to deviate from the slop l-forumla they learn in college, you can't expect them to parse social interactions let alone internez banter.

Amazing Spiderman?
It was a decent series, but the Sony's obsession to make a Sinister Six movie no one asked for hurt it. Not to mention the stupid shit with that guy with in the shadows giving out the Sinister Six's outfits

>bad actor appears
>community could easily ignore them or turn them into a lolcow
>instead an 'anti-bad actor' group appears and starts to vocally overstate the negative impact said bad actor is having while using them as a scapegoat/boogeyman
>people flock to join the group for the chance of being part of the good in-group opposing the bad out-group
>discourse is steadily ruined by the group often accusing of anyone arguing with them of being on the bad actor's side and eventually vice-versa
Feels like inescapable human nature at this point

>No longer matters if he is ignored because he's posting once every 30 seconds responding to himself and most people don't have something new to say every 30 seconds

its a skill

speedrunners are emotionally unstable autists. remember how cosmo set the 16 minute ocarina record after like 5 years of trying, and then some chink beat his record like 3 days later? cosmo immediately had a breakdown and trooned out. this was always going to be the case, it just took a while to get a foothold.

it's a way to add a woman or a tranny to your community for optics despite them not having any real skills.
