puts tinfoil hat on
The recent outrage about the high costs for shrieks (check reddit for that, because this is the place to be) made me think. SD always got a decent amount to a lot flag for the RNG and grindiness of their events. So increasing a factor the community is not happy with seems pretty uncalled for.
Then it stroke me. They did it on purpose. It’s a red herring. Give people something to complain about and they will forget about everything else. This way, they can manipulate us to focus on the high prices just to reduce them if the salt gets really out of hand and then say: “look at us, we are listening to you.”
Meanwhile, people forgetting over all this commotion that it is almost a year since Sagan of Roid’s more or less famous Farewell post: https://reddit.com/r/Dirtybomb/comments/5dh2qe/sagan_on_dirty_bomb_and_farewell_for_now/
In which he asked for:
Demos
Spectator mode improvements
Private servers
Referee commands
Friendly-fire pubs
Weapon attachments
Custom loadouts
Melee 2.0
To which a Dev replied:
“What I can tel you is that every feature in your list (except melle 2.0 - i don’t know what that is) and referees commands (is that OSP style?) are in a plan we’re writing right now. We’ve been waiting till we’re able to do DB properly, and it feels like we’re days away.”
Look on what they delivered from this plan in one year. But hardly anyone is complaining about the lack of these features anymore. Because those shinies became super expensive.

TL:DR What happened to all that stuff?
