Well, seems we have another case of 'we think we can do no wrong'. Today, an interview from Gamespot came out to one of the devs from Ready at Dawn regarding The Order 1886 and the controversy surrounding its length and price policy. In TLDR fashion, the man says that the game is perfectly fine this long and that the controversy surrounding it was born because 'internet is the new playground for bullies'.

Now, I can understand asinine budgeting that puts everything into the shiny pixels for 'cinematic experiences' instead of the actual gameplay. Because apparently some devs need to be constantly reminded that they make videogames, not movies. And that people don't like having to do the same QTEs over and over again.
I can understand stupid excuses for asinine game design like 'well, other shooters are just as long!'. Yeah, first: doesn't make those right either. Second: those usually have multiplayer. Other have *gasp* replay value!
What I really can't understand and what I won't ACCEPT is calling people that call your combination of high price, game length and uninspired gameplay a ripoff BULLIES. I don't know who works with these guys' PR, but they're going to have one hell of a headache. AND THE GAME ISN'T EVEN OUT YET.
