Cyberpunk’s twitter account manager shares advice
To be fair, they probably know more about communicating than the devs.
Love it when people that know a lot about communicating get tasked with creating a positive perception of something. They know perfectly well that self-deprecating jokes are popular with their target audience and that they even work to endear their shortcomings to the reader. These feelings are probably why this post is being upvoted.
I mean yeah, I agree with separation of concerns and letting the people with the skills do the job... but it almost always feels so manipulative and dishonest.
As a dev myself, I can't even commit to maybe telling you if and/or when something will be finished. Someone has to set a date and say it's going to be awesome even though I wouldn't even say it's for sure going to be working.
As a dev that's a skill you can develop. But it doesn't matter when the marketing department announces a launch date before even asking developers for their estimations.
Even better when you do commit to a deadline, and then they keep adding shit.
Enough of that shit and the only date it sets is “the date I leave this fucking company”. I’m so tired of people thinking they can make magic happen by talking down to developers. So tired
Considering the Devs were notoriously silent after the game's release. That wouldn't be hard.
