Not to mention as a whole 95% of the staff, admins or mods on this site have actually been remarkably tolerant indeed with all things considered & they've frequently allowed more than a fair degree of latitude, especially when it comes to this thread in particular. (Repeatedly push your luck & yes, you could get banned, but you also agreed to the rules when you created your account.)
They could have ultimately shut this entire thread down multiple times over but it's still here for us to continue whining, & more recently occasionally add something good we've picked up on now that there has been some reasonable improvement
.
It all went the way it went due to some awful decision making, piling one mistake on top of another, then rinsing & repeating that cycle. Promises of exciting new features were also never delivered on or schedules made for patches etc. are also no longer apparently being honoured. (That tends to leave a lasting bad impression & under the circumstances, rightfully so it's not easily going to be forgiven or forgotten moving forwards.) Sadly, the willingness of the top man to continue to flick high octane fuel onto the C22 Twitter bonfire has done nothing to help calm heated passions & frustrations either. But, still this thread has never been truly censored & it's certainly not just been limited to the use of sliders, test matches, or AI functions only over time. (
C22 has undoubtedly drawn complaint pretty much about every feature possible PMSL .) It's more that the vast majority of the known issues have surrounded the AI modelling, scripting, or its behaviour & that's the most visible aspect that the majority would like to see corrected, hence it seeing more mention.
If you're more into the multiplayer aspect & the problems that has, and/or you have specific complaints about the shorter formats of the game within C22, speak up about it!
