The benefit of credit and discord is it is usually a younger group and now more mainstream. It is like Facebook and Instagram. Facebook is where you post pictures for family to see and Instagram is for your friends. Its a sad day when you have to have another program to get information when the web forum is faster, easier, and far more interactive. This forum is neither faster, nor easier, nor more interactive. Forums are slow, the equivalent of posting handbills on bulletin boards, and best serve as repositories. It's an old format that goes back decades. They still have their place.This one fails to serve as a long-term reference due to destructive ports and no apparent attempt to preserve old content, and a failure to provide search and indexing functions worth a flip. Chat apps present open, real time rooms. Try one some time.

When you treat your customers (last I checked, that's what we are) like petulent children who are to be ignored, you've lost the right to complain about the atmosphere on your official forums.

DesertTortoise said: I spend entirely too much time on that Discord channel (the mods there are total tyrants with no redeeming qualities) and I can say there's not really any scooping going on. All of the news is presented as links to the News & Announcement threads the moment they happen. Any 'scoops' are from people finding the Piecing Together article before a post or finding 5 Thor in-game before a post on the forums goes up. You'll get some response to bug reports in real-time, on occasion, but that's not as thrilling as you imagine!

Most of the customers who post here act like petulant children all the time. In my experience, there's two types of companies. Successful ones and those who feel a need to hide from their customers.

And if you honestly thing that D3 is not successful, you are utterly delusional. The hate is making you imagine things.

We're talking about a match 3 game using the official license of the biggest movie franchise in the world.Do you think this game is living up to its potential?
