Also "give it back" isn't feedback

I agree with the rest of the thread, it's just this bit that seems to say the opposite bsky.app/profile/ryst...

I guess because that's such a broad interpretation of what it means to interpret feedback as to be meaningless to me. The dev at that point is reacting to the player, not the assertions of the player, which is what the conventional wisdom you're refuting says to do

I mean it doesn't as a refutation of "players don't know what they want"

It's when they imagine they *would* want something, which they have not experienced, and want you to give them that thing, that they are always wrong

It's a case of saying "i want the exact thing i had before" which is not something anyone is saying a player is wrong when they say it

If they had never played WoW classic, and you asked those players what they wanted, they would not describe WoW classic

The reason it's not correct is the conventional wisdom "players don't know what they want" is not in reference to situations as simple as "they had something they wanted and you took it away and now they say they want it". It's "players don't know what they want until after they get it"

Even better: players complained the Fortnite BR tactical shotgun was too weak, and stats showed it wasn't being used much or getting many kills. They changed the rarity color from green to blue, changed nothing else, and people played more aggressively with it and got more kills. No more complaints

that's so silly dude. that's not an example of that at all

the inability to write a simple sentence like "things are changing fast" without putting a full stop or a dash in there is a symptom of irreversible brain atrophy imo

i don't purport to know enough to appraise the "firefly as confederate propaganda" angle but I'll tell ya one thing, it had some fucking rubbish dialogue. "i aim to misbehave". one can only cringe. getting fucked into nonexistence by the broadcaster is the only reason anyone likes that show
