CCP Games, based in Iceland, has basically said they do not know what they are doing with an FPS and as 'ranty' as this may appear, I am utterly shocked they do not know what they are doing.

As most know, they originally created a game called 'DUST-514' that allowed the player to link/sync with players in 'EVE-Online' and the actions in one game affected the other & vice versa. The game died (it was a PS3 title released too late in the platform lifecycle) and had lootboxes/pay-to-win/micro-transactions up the wazoo. Then, this game got announced, jobs were created, creatives assigned....and not one person (it seems) knew what they were doing and went ahead to create a game that wasn't any good.

How can it be that in 2018, you can screw up the most basic and well-established on game genres: First Person Shooter?

This is like screwing up a mayonnaise sandwich...

If anyone (here) wants to contact CCP Games and get them back on track to making a game worth playing, I'm sure you can find their contact details quite easily.

Once upon a time, in a golden land of opportunity and adventure, things had fully complete and fleshed-out design documents prior to getting the green light...now, it seems, people with skills in 'marketing' & 'public relations' make the decisions.
