This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. "Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out"

I used to play EFT, and he would periodically say stupid shit like this regularly. Like reliably 2x a year at least.

He's extremely out of touch with the fan base, and gets upset at the "toxic community" for complaining that the "early access" game (for what, ~8 years now) has major game breaking bugs still, and most importantly, has been overrun by hackers for many years.

Imagine an MMO where all the epic loot is randomly spawned in a free for all battle ground, and the hackers can see all items on the map, vacuum it up remotely, and leave the lobby before legit players could even sprint there in a straight line.

And then the lead dev says "man, you guys whine so much, get over it"
