Good evening everyone.
I am a student game designer, and I am really fascinated by what happens every year in this game around this time period. Because for the designers it must be a lose-lose situation right? You can't make everyone happy, and for one person happy with a gameplay change, another one will be fuming.
So, for the latest FC 26 patch: personally I like it, but, to the people who don't: your feelings are not invalid. And that is the issue: I wonder what are the factors which determine what does or does not need to be patched are, because, as community feedback is important (This year marketing campaign was VERY clear on that), it's gonna be too inconsistent to use that alone as a guide.
