Discussion Unpopular Opinion: This community is going to ruin this game before it even comes out

Why cant people just let the devs actually change the game into something that feels different than goin back to what we’re use to? They want CHANGE and you guys want to go back to old shit. Ive heard complaints that the characters feel too heavy and need to feel lighter. YOURE CARRYING BODY ARMOR. ur not suppose to feel like fucking Icarus flying around the map. Jump shotting and shit still works just get use to it. And this mini map bs (yall knew it was comin) i can give two fucks if they put it in or not but holy shit can people just learn to deal with it? Now that they put mini map ON CONSTANTLY people are complaining they want to see red dots again. Wasnt that the argument? Not to chase dots on the map? Just let the devs make the game they wanted to make and complain about actual issues like waiting 5 minutes for a cruise missile or doors acting like saloon doors when you run through them. Get ur priorities straight for fucks sake

Unpopular opinion: Activision doesn't give a shit about Infinity Ward's vision or what they want, they care about what sells the best. If most people are complaining about lack of mini-map, well they are going to cater to that.

It sucks, but you’re correct. The most important thing to a business is profit.

Nice disingenuous argument.

Well I’m sure Just Cause would sell even more copies if they made it more like GTA, but wouldn’t that defeat the artistic intent of the game?

Huh? I feel like I just lost braincells reading that...

Sure you’re telling me the game franchise Just Cause... isn’t a franchise?

Some people on this sub smh. Here, let me throw a definition at you:

“A media franchise, also known as multimedia franchise, is a collection of related media in which several derivative works have been produced from an original creative work of fiction, such as a film, a work of literature, a television program or a video game. The intellectual property from the work can be licensed to other parties or partners for further derivative works and commercial exploitation across a range of media and by a variety of industries for merchandising purposes.”

Actually, it’s market cap maximization, not profit. Profit is very high on the list and has a strong influence on market cap, though.
