Dear gamers,
Literally no professional game studio:
*Wants* you to experience issues when playing their game.
*Purposefully* implemented bugs into their game.
Is ignoring you (or the thousands of other users) who have a problem.
Can fix your issue without your help!

Things you CAN do that will help you be heard:
USE YOUR WORDS. Bring more than one sentence to the table. Explain the thing you want to talk about.
BE CONSTRUCTIVE. Focus on how to make things BETTER—not just the problem. Let’s figure out the solution together!

BE INFORMED: Understand the topic before getting involved. Ignorance will ALWAYS undermine intent. BE RESPECTFUL: Both of the developers and others who weigh in with their opinion. This isn’t telling you how communicate; it’s basic human decency.
DON’T ASSUME INTENT: A common mistake is assuming what someone was thinking when they built or when fixing something. So just don’t. BREATHE: Never post when angry. Hyperbole, sarcasm, emotional outbursts, and personal attacks will only undermine your message.
And finally: in the immortal words of @wilw:
DON’T BE A DICK. The moment you make it personal—no matter how brilliant, poignant, or revolutionary your stance or statement—it is no longer worth someone's time to deal with your disrespect.

Game studios WANT you to play their games. They WANT you to enjoy their games. They will move mountains to make that a reality, but *ONLY* if you put in the effort to help them help you!
