All you need to do to "hear him at the mike" is to look at his weekly public posts on his Patreon. (He now seems to have settled on a two-weekly schedule, where releases for subscribers are on a Monday and then for the public are on the following Monday.) Yes, the heavy combat emphasis at the start of Act 3 was probably a mistake, but he's largely rowed back from that over the last couple of months, and in recent updates there's been lots of character and story stuff again. About the only characters that we are still waiting to reconnect with are those on the far side of the Nexus, but it seems like that can't be far away..
I'm a user of F95, why do i have to listen to him on his patreon page. Thats why i drag "The Loud House" game into my input, he only use his homepage, and his game will end up as abandoned on F95, which isnt a problem for me, its unplayable, even the VIP verson is sh.. If a developer want or wishes me to play his game, then use F95 to communicate with the players.
I will give an example on how bad it can go, and just to clarify i dont compare the dev of CK with the compagny mentioned. WarGaming have severe games: World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes among those i have been playing, still play WOWS (look for gnist0s. Wireless operator from the Danish Navy). In august i think it was, they closed their forum with 3 days warning, and now only communicate with the playerbase on social media like FB, X and so on. Reason for it is, that they dont like critisism and dont want to listen to the players (WG is a russian compagny, but they have exported their administration outside Russia and Belarussia, if not then players in memberstates of the European Union may not play their games (you know; pay to win)).
A citizen of Rom once said: "divide et impera" or "divide and rule". Now WG can pick the media that give the words they like, but thats not nessecarely the majority.
Im a senior citizen (retired from danish armed forces) and now i want to go to bed, it have been tooooo late already, have a nice day where ever you may be living
