You know, I think this whole thing is just a reminder that even with the best intentions and talent behind it, things can still go awry

. I mean, Wildlight Entertainment had some big shoes to fill coming from Respawn Entertainment, but they still managed to pull off something new and interesting - until they didn't

. It's like, we get so caught up in the hype of a new game launch that we forget that it's just people trying to make a product that we'll enjoy playing

.
And I think what's really interesting here is how the community's reaction says more about us as players than it does about the game itself. Like, when people say "it didn't live up to my expectations" or "I was let down", it's like they're not even talking about the game anymore - they're talking about their own disappointment and disillusionment with the gaming industry as a whole

.
It's just... we all want to feel invested in something, you know? We want to care about these characters and this world and be excited to play another match. But sometimes, despite our best efforts, that just doesn't happen
