How.

>game hint system requires you to send a real-life email

This is the most millenial thing I've read in my life
>>
I like the part where the game dev refuses to disclose the analytics of the emails, such as where they were coming from. I would wager that certain types of people from certain regions of the world are having a harder time understanding technology, especially if they are retarded enough to believe they're talking with a real person.

>millenial
Boomer games were doing that shit over a decade earlier, making entire ARG adventures where you needed to get emails from NPCs in order to figure out clues to puzzles.

>having to email a fake Ai just to figure out how to get help with a game

This is the most retarded idea I have ever heard.
>>
>>731021162
I feel like these sort of metamechanics are always going to be at risk of breaking over time. Like how does metalgears switching control ports thing work on PC?
Also making people use their real email to get hints is gigadumb, but smart way to harvest data I guess. EA should steal the idea

How many gacha threads do you want up anon? Is there no pleasing you?

emails are now boomer technology, like some ancient stone mechanism now covered in moss and vines.

Indians don't play games, certainly not pc or even console
they play mostly android mobile games and despite being an audience nearly 2 billion strong, is a terrible audience for games because they are very stupid as you are already aware
>>
>>731021162
wow that sounds like a really cool gimmick for a game release in 2004
>>
>>731021883
EA doesn't need to steal the idea, they are already getting the emails from steam

You ever notice the OPs on here where everything is in the subject field?
I sure have

>Game require you to share your personal information
>Dev stop paying for the auto reply mail
>Game is unplayble
so uh, why not making it ingame ?

>>731021162
Absolute retarded game design to write emails in a game
>>
>>731021162
>soillennials thinking using some 3rd party system outside the game in ingenious
Only thing left is you need to log into the devs discord to get the hints
>>
>>731021279
can't you just not enter threads you don't like?
can't you just report threads you don't like instead of thinking people give a fuck about your opinion?
can't you just stop sucking cocks for a minute and evaluate your life?
can't you?

Redditard bitch is mad butthurt after being called out. Cutest thing I've read in a while.

>>731021162
thats fucking retarded and I wouldnt write with my personal mail to some faggot dev
make the system in-game or make a website with a chatbot if you cant put it into a game but this is the most retarded solution he could have chosen
whats next? write a fucking letter and get the solution in 5-7 business days per mail

How is this even possible? Basically every job that isn’t physical labor requires you to email people. I’m in sales and I constantly have to email clients

I only replied to one. Ending your sentence with "lmao" shows how butthurt you are.
You are cute but you might want to lurk moar before posting again.

>>731021162
you know this is bullshit because zoomers don't play video games
>>
>>731023662
nobody cares about your embarrassing isuckdicks@gayfaggot.com account

>>731021162
It's basically the same shit as guess a million things to the textbox in a point and click but now with even more unpredictability as you spam emails towards some server.
>>
that feature should have been built into the game. it's bad design to make the player do something outside the game. MMOs and ARPGs are the worst at this due to their nature, but putting this in a single player puzzle game is just retarded
>>
>>731022889
zoomers cant even get hired to flip burgers, 30 year old pajeets stole those jobs too.

>'gave the players a hint system'
>the hint system is emailing the dev directly from your own email and hoping you get a response from an AI that helps you
Why didnt they put the hint system into the actually game? Or make their own online guide instead?
Seems like a cute idea that they had poorly executed. And then blaming bad reviews on people not knowing how emails work- which is actually the devs fault for not having the AI ignore questions in the title. If you put the question in the title then there is no reason to read the body.
