This is how a game is made

I stumbled across this and was blown away by how much this guy shares and even admits when certain elements which are good ideas are bad for the game. I've never heard of this game before now, and it's not really my cup of tea, but if the Dev blog for Defiance was even 50% as honest as this you would have a much happier community and a better game.

This is a quote which I think holds some relevance in Defiance:

I starting thinking that this was strange – I added a feature that made the game less fun, and I was adding another feature to remove the annoyance. If you could setup the crop rotation schedule once and forget about it, why even have it? So crop rotation was removed.

Naw. Wait til dog takes poop, shovel poop in game case, send 30 game cases in box to game store, then we buy it.

All I get from the Defiance dev blog is an unrelenting urge to purchase a Dodge.. What have they done to me!?
