How a games forum made Farming Simulator real

Post by Lisertan »

Heya,

There is this nice article on gamesindustrie.biz about our game and I'd like to show it to you guys as well.

The main focus of the article is this forum and how the game would not be here today without you, our fans and this forum.

Give it a look, it's a good read.

That's a lovely read and amazing how a vision can blossom into what we have today. It's nice to read about the offer from Ubisoft and how the company cares more for the community than a quick buck.

One of the (many) reasons why I'm here. I love seeing that a company really cares for their players, communicates with them and basically builds a game not only for the players but also WITH the players. That's just cool.

That was seriously cool video. I'm glad GIANTS is a company that interacts with the player base. Very cool *thumbsup*

Correct. As you can see, this Stegei guy who lurks this forum and responds every now and then REALLY knows what he is talking about when he responds to something. In fact, there is VERY little chance you will ever get a better answer than the ones he posts.

I personally think it's great that one of the heads of a company takes the time to interact with customers and answer questions regularly.

I think it is because this forum had a huge impact on the existance of this game. So, both of them value quite a lot. Which I really appreciate because these days companies, especially the big ones, really don't care about the opinions of their customers.

It's always nice when a company like Giants listens to and communicates with their players/customers. It helps the game grow in a way that works a lot better than a company that thinks releasing a new game version because "people will buy it anyway" is a good idea.
I assume people don't use Seasons, unless they say otherwise.
