It’s been 3 days of our attempts to get some sensible answers or reactions from SDG. But instead we got a stub called “FAQ” where the already said was described with just a little bit of clarification
It looks like you are trying to ignore us: either straight forward or replying with some general answer or referring to maddie’s email (actually same as ignore)
This topic is too important for the community, some people already left unturned because of this
So you cannot ignore it if you care about the game’s future
Why you need to restrict people who said literally 3 bad words (towards the game state, “values” or sdg itself)?
It’s like the parents that beat their children explaining it by saying that “it’s just for the education”. This will only lead to trauma or opposition
Isn’t it easier just to explain why something is bad or just warn personally first and punish only if they doesn’t listen? SDG, you need more communication to your players and knowledge of what they really want. Nelson, people hate you mostly not because they are just toxic, but because of your actions on the community part of the game (aggressive action = aggressive opposition). This has been said many times already before me.
Now you are reaping the fruits of your repressive actions and can’t even control the damage, no negative, just an objective fact
But at least now we know your “values” (among which there is not even freedom of speech tho, SAYS A LOT)
Also i suggest you to also remove elver from console edition to support equality.
I might get banned or cancelled (if not already, maybe i just don’t know (waiting for official list of cancelled people from SDG)) after this post, but that was just my sincere opinion about all this situation. Quoting danaby:
i never wanted anything but the best for this game
I think that’s all i could say
Most likely these words will not change anything and this post will just get closed (although i started to doubt about this as the UO memes about dying game are still there and “Can we please have a healthy discussion about recent curated changes?” is not closed)
SDG staff remaining silent is already killing the game. (mostly traders)
Why not just open a forum post explaning the situation clearly rather than emails.
People spend literal ages to this game just some “bad people” doesnt make the whole community bad. As everyone saying without curated game would be on the ground ages ago. I am not defending anyone by saying that. Curated Created maps were a blast for the community.
Yes Unturned Community is racist, but any other game is like that you cant just fix it people are bad on the internet.My point is how hard it can be to just open a forum post Clearing any misinformation about this.
In any different healthily managed game people get banned, muted or otherwise punished for being racist aswell, this is finally what’s happening here and if it’s going to cause some bigoted dipshits to quit then so be it, i count that as a win especially because less bigotry means more normal well spirited people coming back
I dont doubt that there are a number of people who will abandon ship due to their own bigotry, but the majority of the community that is acting like this is “gamer 9/11” feel this way because this change will affect the game in a multitude of negative ways. Feel however you please about the affected parties, but what cannot be denied is that they played an integral role in both the curated system and where the game itself is today, these actions by sdg cause many players to lose further trust in the development of unturned and for many is the final nail in the coffin
like how exactly? maps will stay, develepers can still earn money, bigots leave or shut up which makes sane, normal people come back, where are the negatives?
also a correct response to someone checking you on your bigotry is to change and do better, not to whine on twitter
These map developers are no longer eligible for curated status. Mind you, just about every curated map released in the 2020s has been either entirely created by or helped by the affected parties. You are unfairly equating many of those who are upset with this change as bigots when they are also a part of the sane members of this community
i doubt that if those developers acknowledged their actions and changed instead of planting their feet and complaining SDG wouldn’t let them come back, but alas that’s not what happened and it speaks more on what kind of people they are, also if you truly cared about the wellbeing of the game you would’ve reacted years ago when multiple other people affected by the toxicity started leaving the community and taking their content elsewhere
Maybe because they weren’t given a chance to reconcile or acknowledge their actions. The forums post was made without allowing them to even defend themselves.
Seems kind of backwards to lambast these people and then indirectly support them by playing thier maps, especially when one of these instances was done so in a very well made and popular youtube video that gave these creators you seem to strongly dislike a larger platform
i was, yeah, things changed tho, i know more stuff about them now, playing their maps doesn’t really give them any money tho, maybe some boost to popularity but i never said their maps were bad or that they needed to be blacklisted entirely, what happened to them now is a slap on the wrist and nothing is permanently set in stone, if they behaved like well adjusted people we could see more curated content from them probably but that’s not what they did
It seems like you KNOW that they could be let back into the curated program, this whole situation seems to not be impartial whatsoever. Also you have supported them by buying cosmetics.
Yeah, again not recently tho, not after i knew the stuff i know now and i have distanced myself from them.
Also I can only assume they could be let back in, I obviously can’t speak on behalf of SDG I’m just guessing based on how they communicated.
