Thank you, devs!

Well you know, there are so many threads about complaining, about fighting and fussing. So why not the other way around?

My reason is actually quite stupid, but better than nothing.

I want to thank Ubisoft for not shutting down servers of Ghost Recon Future Soldier on PS3 yet. It's like eight or nine years out and can I still play it without a problem. (omg, my standards seem to be very low)

So yeah, thank you Ubisoft for great games and supporting them for so long.

[KartuneDX]

Sure OP. I'll chime in.

Thank you Nintendo for the Switch and thank you to all the devs hard at work supporting it.

Thank you Digital Extremes for never giving up on Warframe.

Thank you Capcom for bringing Dragon's Dogma to Switch.

Thank you Respawn for Apex Legends and the Titanfall series! And a special thank you to Miyazaki for my personal GOTY Sekiro.

Some of the best video games on the market today are made by developers. Thanks.

 

[ASaiyan]

Toby Fox made a popular video game that initially included a segment that was difficult to play for certain colorblind people. After receiving this feedback, he later patched the game to make the colors in that segment much easier for them to distinguish.

Thank you, Toby Fox, for your responsiveness to accessibility concerns!

Thank you, Matt and crew, for making such a heart-warming yet conscious game about anxiety and depression. Celeste is very important to me and many of my friends.

 

[Cess007]

Can we all take a second to also thank QA people?

One of the most ungrateful jobs in the industry. You work your ass off, and yet, every single thing is blamed on you. Even when you reported the bugs, and are waived by devs/producers/etc, somehow is still your fault according to most people.

You all do an amazing job QA guys!

 

[Siggy]

I'd like to thank developers of easily accessible engines with fairly permissive licences like Unity 3D or Godot for having lowered the barrier of entry into the production side of gaming, allowing a wider variety of people to express themselves in this medium.

Thanks to Christian Whitehead and every talented developer that made Sonic Mania.

That game was legitimately important for me to start feeling better about myself and to be where Im at right now.

Thank you SEGA for bringing Yakuza games to PC.

Thank you Ubisoft for proving that you folks still know how to make your formula fun, with AC Origins.

Thank you Valve, for making PC Gaming viable almost anywhere to everyone with Steam, and for improving CSGO for over 6 years, providing the best and funniest esport scene to follow.

Thank you EA Sports, FIFA never stopped changing and improving over the years as some may accuse it to. Soccer games were never this easy yet satisfying to play as a casual, and it's also an awesome game to watch in pro level.

[Evil Lucario]

Thanks to all the Japanese developers who all made a comeback since last generation. It was rough back then for people that liked Japanese games, but now this generation is really awesome for us. From Software, Nintendo, Capcom, the list goes on.

Thanks to all the developers who do their damnest in working on games that they feel like isn't going to work out, going through the stress. You're all stronger people than I. Hopefully you guys find work elsewhere that's better for your mental and physical health if possible.

Special thanks to Nintendo for reinvigorating my love for console gaming again with the Switch. It's rapidly becoming my favorite console of all time.

 

[Mediking]

Love ya, Atlus.

Love ya, Ubisoft for AC: Ody.

Love ya, Nintendo.

Love ya, Sony.

 

[Ploid 6.0]

Thank you modders and devs.

Thanks Square-Enix for FF7, 11, and 12.

Thanks Sony for making a variety of games that lead to me being exposed to games I would have probably never given a chance. Also for providing a place for devs from other publishers to do wacky stuff on PS2 like PS2 + PC with Japan + the West on the same server, <Thank You>.

It's pretty cool to be working on a game, slogging through a tough thing, taking a break to read the headlines and finding this.

So, uh...you're welcome! =)

 

[curiouscharles]

Thank you devs, you give so much of your heart, soul, sweat, tears, and TIME to this industry all so us laymen & laywomen can kill time in a most pleasurable manner.

It is a thankless job so here are some heartfelt thanks.

[disgraciau]

Lots of love for the big ones: SONY, Microsoft and Nintendo.
Lots of love for Moon Studios
Lots of love for Playground Games
Lots of love for SONY Santa Monica
Lots of love for 4A Games
Lots of love for ASOBI Team
Lots of love for CAPCOM Div. 1
Lots of love for Vicarious Visions and Beenox

I could keep going, but the list would be infinite.

 

[Temascos]

While I have yet to start on the PS4/XB1/Switch generation I am pleased that the conversation of developers getting fairer working conditions has not ended, you guys out there work brutually long hours to deliver a game to people that you hope they will enjoy. You all deserve to be able to work hard and passionately at what you do, and also be able to live your life outside of work as you are doing this not just for us but your families and loved ones.

One particular company which I believe has good working conditions on this front is Insomniac Games, the amount of stuff you guys make is insane and glad you found massive success with Spiderman! :)

 

[Raw64life]

Thank you to all the developers still making completed, polished single player games with all of the content right on the disc/cart at launch. I will likely abandon this hobby when you become extinct.

 

[Nome]

Thanks to all the young, bright-eyed devs for your optimism. You still have a few years left before you give up hope!

I second both of these, never thought I'd get into gamepass, but I picked up Edith Finch on it and wow, bunch of other good stuff on there too. Gotta try Vampyr as well.

Thank you team cherry for despite being such a small team, putting out Hollow knight and supporting it with three freecontent packs while having the game be only 15 dollars for all the value it provides, you're too good for this world fellas.
