You should all be fired

Every single person that works on this game should be looking for employment. What a gigantic catastrophe this game has become.

@mike_ph_PSN maybe they already are. That’s the problem

@mike_ph_PSN ita a problem across all of gaming. Too many game devs dont play games, dont like games, despise gamers, or arent interested in the game they are being paid to create.
Just look at the dev teams for older games that were amazing and compare them to modern dev teams.

You have ONE job man!!! Instead you decide to work on TWO games when you can’t figure out how to not destroy the decades of history built around your company’s primary title…

It's less that devs don't like games and more thst management has pressure on them from executives and shareholders to maximize profit and minimize spending and they're willing to see how bad the bugs can get before people will stop paying.

Look, I have likely become one of SDS's harshest critics (yet not too long ago was one of its biggest champions), and yet I think I have to draw a line on this OP.
The leadership team at SDS is responsible for what this game has become, along with the leadership team at Sony Interactive Entertainment, who I am sure is calling the shots. Employees are not able to work on projects unless assigned to them, and are not able to continue work on one once the leadership team has told them to move on.
The basic problem with the game today is it is old code that has become strangled through too many layers of often competing code, and is sorely overdue for a complete rewrite from scratch. The employees are powerless to do that. The leadership has to argue for and obtain from SIE the budget authority to hire the larger code team necessary for such a total rewrite.
In a way, though, this OP is prescient. I think it does foreshadow the eventual destiny for all who work at SDS. Either the game that fuels them receives this overdue rewrite to make it the best it can be, or the customer base is going to walk away. Once that walk away happens, SDS will fold and everyone will lose their positions.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL same!! I used to love this game!! I love that they added the mods. That was a GREAT idea!! I love that they’re using new cards this year. Such as the most recent Harper card. But the gameplay is atrocious!!
