Please, i played the closed beta, the game is terrible, the only reason it has positive reviews in steam is because of the low playerbase that is fooling themselves because they purchased already. Just check the small number of reviews and concurrent players for a game this big. The main point to make out of this article is that most people already saw from a mile away that the game was terrible from the youtube previews and closed betas

Sadly its also going to steal the position of a lot of people on AA and middle to indie size studios that need to cut costs to actually stay alive. Obviously some studios will stay afloat without cutting people or going deep into AI content but expect that to the exception not the rule.

I am a leftist so obviously biased, but my experience with them in general has been fine, there are some trolls or stupid people like in every instance but i had to deal more with right wing propaganda and objectively false information from conspiranoic people than from anything terrible coming from them so far, to the point of having to block several exploding heads communities where they shared tons of missinformation abour queer people, vaccination and all that bullshit. That one is the harmful instance in general and not hexbear where most of their content are memes and some insightful discussion every now and then.
