Do gaming companies listen?

Do you think that gaming companies really listen to their players' feedback?

I think that sometimes they do. They kind of have to at times. If most of their players are unhappy, then they're not going to stick around and keep playing. In general, though, they can't listen to every single bit of feedback or the games would be drastically different constantly.

Sometimes they do, but it's very VERY rare now-a-days.

I can list some major companies who DO listen:

Rockstar
Treyarch
343

That's legitimately all I can list from the TOP of my head.

Yes, they can't listen to everyone at the same time though.

I'm pretty sure they don't go through all of the feedback, but I'm sure they go through some.

The companies would be nothing if they didn't listen.

Look at Infinity Ward. That's all I have to say, they don't listen to anything, yet the are (most of the time) preferred over Treyarch.

Infinity Ward only listens to them before the game releases(for suggestions) but once the game is released, all they do is patch glitches and mods.

Which is why I'm saying what I said. They only listen Pre-Release, which is terrible. Whereas Treyarch listens the WHOLE time.

Infinity Ward has been bankrupt countless amount of times. I wonder how many more times they are going to be bankrupt without Robert Bowling.

They seriously need to pick up their game.

They can if they have more ears.
