14 hours ago, Qualitypunk said:I didn't call anyone a toddler, I suggested people were acting like toddlers which is different. I didn't say the customer base was entitled I suggested a few were entitled for thinking a company should sabotage long term to appease a vocal few. I never said FFG did nothing wrong, I said FFG isn't in full control of when they can release information. You've maliciously twisted what I said, turning a light hearted post about a missing product code into a platform for your illogical vendetta against FFG. As you missed the dated reference in my title.
Asking for news, updates, articles, community support doesn't seem that entitled. ****, I'm not even asking for that stuff for myself. I'm asking for that stuff for the health and well-being of the game. I'm asking for that stuff so that Armada continues to be a viable product for FFG. I'm asking for that stuff to help FFG.
My state had half a dozen stores supporting or stocking Armada at one point (not much, but we are a big state with a tiny population). It now has none. Why? Because people saw the lack of news, articles, updates, etc as a sign that the game was failing. People don't want to invest $$$ into something that is dying. So fewer people buy expansions at the stores. Fewer people show up for tournaments. Fewer people play in the stores. Less new players get enticed due to lack of players and activity. Stores stop stocking expansions. Game appears to be dead. The last time I walked into what was the most supportive venue I saw exactly 2 expansions and no base game for sale. I've flat out heard former players telling other people that the game is dead. I've seen seen similar stories where people in other states, or other countries have heard of people talking about stores telling players the game is canceled, etc.
You see, entitled means believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I'm happy with where the game is. I don't have anyone to play against anyways. If the SSD was the end of the road, I'd be sad that would mean the end of collecting this fun game, but I'd be content with what I have. FFG however seems like the entitled entity here. No news. No articles. No updates. No expansions for over a year at a time. No waves for even longer. Yet they believe that their fan base will remain just as strong as ever while providing next to nothing in return. They can't keep a decent stock of expansions in the hands of stores and retailers, yet they expect those stores and retailers to continue playing ball, and the players to just treat them specially by waiting patiently for months to get basic, dare I say necessary, expansions restocked. They have promised us 3 times in the last year that they are going to improve their customer interaction with better communication...yet there has been no change.
You see, I don't see the players as the entitled individuals here at all. They are the die-hard fans that have stuck with this game through thick and thin. There the ones begging for something, anything from FFG to show that they haven't pulled the plug. They come here daily in hopes that FFG will finally throw them a bone. FFG is the entitled party that believes the fans will continue to show up every day despite the neglect.
