I can never understand this line of thought.

The only "online internet game" that I play is Aces High ... so for those of you who play all these other online internet games, do you receive emails from the CEO and/or the lead developer(s) asking you what your thoughts are on any impending changes of that game ? ... I am betting the answer is "No".



Actually, most online games have some sort of forum.  People can express their delight, or lack thereof, in the game and it's in print on the forum.  They can go back and look at it, or get a paper copy.  Whether it actually has much affect on the game is anybody's guess.  Since online games are always changing, it is plausable that an idea submitted on a forum might be used.  

This has a unique attraction for many people.  Similar to the 'antique road show' on Public broadcasting, there is that dream the piece of crap from long ago you held onto might really be valuable.  After all, it's yours!

Actually a few of the other games I play post polls and do ask for input when thinking of implementing changes.

I'm not saying it's good one way or the other but they are out there.

 Yeah, that pretty much makes his/her money worthless. Lazs doesnt like how he/she flies hitech- you can lock out that account.

That sounds no different that what I have experienced here ... It's emails that I am questioning and the expectation of receiving them every time the Software company/CEO/Lead Developers decide to change things.

Over the past three weeks or so I have noticed a big increase in  players giving me 6 calls, offering to team up with me and others, and cooperating in general. Which all means that I am having a lot more fun than ever before. Furthermore, I can seek and always find a balanced arena.

All in all, these were big changes that HTC made, and in my experience, they have been very beneficial.

However, in the future, I really do demand a personal email outlining proposed changes and seeking my opinions. Making changes without asking my permission is bad for business. Every corporation knows that.

eh?
