Honestly, I think I would have liked the game a lot more if it had just let us fall and rise in status instead of montaging that part.

It was never going to be able to live up the sheer breadth of content Payday 2 amassed over what, a decade?
Granted, it doesn't really excuse some other quality features missing like at the very least, a lobby browser or offline mode. An actual lobby is nice too. I was just playing Payday 2 for a bit, joined an ongoing mission with randoms, we did pretty well, and we just kept doing more heists together. You can't do that in Payday 3.
And then getting caught by said worms and being cocooned as you desperately try to break free.
I don't think they'll resort to that because that would mean getting rid of their own source of income. YouTube may not be getting ad revenue, but they still collect data and that's where the real value is.
Well, considering that time was either on the way towards bankruptcy, at bankruptcy, or barely recovering from bankruptcy, it's a fairly easy explanation as to why they're doing better now.
Something that people miss though is that they do hit some roadblocks that if not for some extremely lucky coincidences, they wouldn't have any way to do it. Specifically for various materials that just so happen to be around them.
They DO implement all the mobs every time.
~~No, they don't?~~ Oh. You mean the modders. Then yes, yes they do.
But I wouldn’t go as far as to say Mojang is lazy.
If not lazy, I'd call them maliciously incompetent. Any modder can put out all three mobs in an afternoon. There's a bit of a greater expectation for a multibillion dollar company making hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
It's literally drumming up as much engagement as possible for the least amount of work you can get. How could you not call that "lazy?" What else would you call it?
You say that as if we don't want other people to enjoy the game that's there. It's not a difficult thing to sympathize that these mob votes are a needlessly frustrating thing.
Honestly, that isn't even an issue, not knowing what they actually do. The biggest problem is that nothing that is voted for will be so important or feature-rich that they couldn't just do all of them up in an afternoon.
It's an arms race. They block adblockers, adblockers block the anti-adblocks. It breaks for maybe like a few hours before it's circumvented.
Thirdly, if they were to visit Earth, do you really think that given the difficulty of traversing space, that you'd be able to identify signs of their arrival?
