I enjoy a lot of games but don’t follow IGN or similar outlets. I did pay attention to e3 when it happened but that’s no longer a thing. My news comes mostly from steam store/Lemmy gaming communities/memes Meaning I’ve never hear of it either until I saw Dunkey’s satire video.
I bought the game early access a couple years ago. The reason they got so few things wrong is they actually listened to community feedback from the early access. They made a lot of minor changes on things (from what I saw most of that was to make the game feel more like DND)
