This thinking is bass backwards.
You seem to be missing the entire logic of forcing other players out of an area or protests as a whole. If this person or a group of people occupied the area long enough to no longer make the system viable, you’d probably see a response from both players and FDev in some capacity.
Oh I can see the answer right there :
"Oh noes, we are totally sorry, we have decided to fix Odyssey, and also port it on console ! Thanks to all the glorious keyboard warriors who showed us the error in our ways ! As a thank you, they'll recieve a free panther Clipper XL !"
Or they won't do s*** because they
1/don't care
2/can't even fix their damn game to run on console
3/won't tolerate any form of blackmail, like pretty much any company around
Probably not to the degree of addressing the intent of the protest, but something.
Here’s a key takeaway though-
FDev let console players continue spending their money and time on a game that had no future for about a year already, they just didn’t pull the plug publicly yet. Kept a line in the players mouths with more than likely a snowballs chance in hell that they were ever going to push for Odyssey on consoles and didn’t know how to address it.
What you are missing is 2 wrong doesn't make a right. Especially when you target the innocents around who are unable to change anything.
I know if YOU blockade some system and it impact ME, I won't say "Fdev is super wrong about console ! ", I will say "stupid people griefing me".
And yeah, I'll totally approve of Fdev if they ban you and remove your FC. Might even report you myself !
If that's the kind of support you want, then go ahead.
The hacker situation brought huge negative press to EA and respawn forcing them to address a situation that they let continue on for a very long time with no response, all while still selling the game to the public, literally selling an unplayable game. Titanfall
Is no longer purchasable and respawn made a statement about its commitment to the Titanfall franchise. The intent of the hacks were to bring attention to the fact that respawn was neglecting the franchise in favor apex legends, not taking care of a product that players purchased outright. Sound familiar?
It brought huge negative press toward the hacker. From comment in the gaming press, most people said it was a s**** move on HIS part, not EA. EA didn't do anything malicious after all (this time).
Game live and die. Titanfall is on maintenance mode because nobody play. I played TF2 up to 6months after release. Servers were already empty. That's the sad truth.
Now before you cry on me because I don't know what I'm talking about. I played Tabula Rasa. Loved it. Guess what happened ? Oh yeah, it closed down. Such is life, still sad about it, but I'm not going to prevent YOU to play to make a statement to NCsoft.
One way or another the hacker got a response.
A bad one, yes. Made me want EA to close the server so he would be extra salty.
The hacker attack, that stupid "blockade" thing ? That's pure malice. That's not "Robin Hood" fight or some nonsense. That's 100% wrong. I don't care for what you pretend you are fighting for, the result is, you'd be fighting PLAYERS not Fdev. You will even target console player like you.
Want to impact Fdev ? Target them. Review bombing, boycott of their product, bad press, whatever. I'm not saying it will be something right to do, but at least you'll fight the people responsible for the situation.
Your thinking seems a bit skewed, you on payroll or something?
Dude I'm going to keep that one. For all the time I was accused to be a DOOM troll, that's going to make some people laugh.
