cant believe 100 of you are willing to put up with me ??? wild
can’t believe 50 of you are willing to put up with me. wild
reblogging because it’s still relevant considering that solmare is now shoving an ad down our throats everytime we open the NB app. We see the stupid hell time super sale as soon as we open the app, on our home screen, and in the left hand side news thing. solmare won’t change this even though fans are PISSED. i remember when solmare gave a shit about us, but that time is clearly since long gone. it makes me so sad to see obey me going this direction and seeing these characters i love so much wasted in the hands of the OM! Devs. do fucking better, solmare. do so much fucking better.
i love obey me but i do NOT like solmare. they can kick rocks for all i care.
So, on twitter a post was made asking people what they’re hot takes on Obey Me are and most of the responses were valid criticisms. But then people started tweeting about how all the criticisms were mean and weren’t valid and we’re just being hateful to be hateful (I looked through every response and that wasn’t the case). Then the OP was essentially forced to delete the tweet because people were being mean to them.
Is this fandom really so sensitive to criticisms about their precious little gacha game that they deem any criticism bad? People are allowed to be mad about the way Solmare is being and the direction they’re going with Obey Me. I know I’m mad about it. They way the ditched the OG, never publicly told us that they were, never told us about daily chats ending in OG, never told us that birthday events would stop, the way they’re putting so much shit behind paywalls in NB, the way they forced players to start over from square 1 just to milk more money. These are all valid criticisms and were all mostly shared in the responses to the original tweet. If the fandom can’t be vocal about all the things wrong with Solmare/Obey Me there won’t be any improvements. If Solmare can’t hear these criticisms because fans are being harassed into deleting their hot takes from the internet, then Solmare will continue on the path they’re on and Obey Me is going to crash and burn.
I love obey me. I wouldn’t have dedicated every day of the past 3 years of my life to playing it, collecting merch, writing fan fic, and being apart of this community if i didn’t love it. I want to see it flourish and thrive for many more years. But Solmare HAS to understand what they’re doing is wrong and that the fans don’t like it. Otherwise, Obey Me might as well have been dead on arrival when Nightbringer came out.
brooo i can’t believe 150 of you are willing to put up with me. wild
can’t believe 50 of you are willing to put up with me. wild
just me ranting about s*lmare again,,, sigh
it’s kind of getting on my nerves seeing people getting mad at others for pointing out s*lmare’s shitty behavior. like, i get that people may not want to see negativity about the games/devs but acting like people aren’t allowed to be negative is a whole different thing.
look. i’m not trying to be seen as the like “ultimate s*lmare hater™︎” or anything (or maybe i am), but i’m just going to compile a quick and nowhere near exhaustive list for everybody so they understand why i and so many other fans are still so mad. because quite frankly i’m sick of people crying on twitter that i’m “just being mean” when what i’m really doing is calling a spade a spade.
for an ENTIRE YEAR before nightbringer was released, devs never told anybody that a new game was coming out. everybody grinded for an ENTIRE YEAR because we were kept under the impression that a new season was coming to OG only to be told “haha we’re going to make you pretty much redo the whole story again (but in the past :O !!!) only after which you’ll get a conclusion for OG :)” [the end of lesson 80 of OG literally said coming soon until AFTER nightflop was announced.]
devs waited until a reddit ama to even tell us that a new game was coming, but only when asked by a fan who’s question subsequently got buried in all the other responses. the only reason anybody else saw it is because it was screenshotted and posted to twitter and in its own post on reddit. no official announcement was made prior. the first official announcement we got was like a week or two before nightflop was released.
they keep pushing out terrible quality events back to back just to milk money from fans even though the vast majority of fans have said they don’t like back to back events because the quality of them are horrendous. most players would rather have fewer events with better writing then to have constant shit ones.
never told us that daily chats were ending in OG. we only know this was happening because someone send a ticket to the devs and it was then screenshotted and posted to twitter.
s*lmare has proved time and time again that they only care about whales. they’ve proved this by paywalling a lot of features in Nightbringer. and before anyone drops in with “but they give us more devil points in battles >:(“ shut up. haven’t you noticed the increase in need to spend devil points? whether for character outfits, sprite outfits level up sales (that they’ve made more frequent by making leveling up easier), ap sales, etc… they’ve only given you more DP so you’ll spend more DP.
they literally shoved an ad down our throats as many times as they could (in NB) by putting it on the HOME. SCREEN. as well as making it one of the first things you see when you boot up the app and in the side news thing. they didn’t do anything about it until fans complains relentlessly for WEEKS.
they took away the 10x free pulls for HDD 4 (which is OG’s birthday NOT Nightflop’s). they have always done the free pulls since the games inception. they did this so that fans are more likely to use they’re own vouchers or pay irl money for the cards they want.
they lowered nightmare drops EVEN LOWER to force players to draw more if they want certain cards (this goes back to putting players in a position to use irl money to buy devil points for nightmare summons if they want certain cards).
wanderers whereabouts and fabsnap are lazy and unnecessary and from what i understand, most people barely fool with it. the models are cheap and horrendous. (i get it’s a mobile game and the graphics are not going to be like PS5 level, but come on.)
they took away birthday events without an announcement. people were saving AP and demon vouchers for their favorite boys’ birthday events only to instead be given ONLY a birthday nightmare with a pity OF 200. they also stopped doing birthday events before asmo’s 2023 bday, leaving him as the only brother without a prince card. never mind the fact that they’ve paywalled birthday items in wonder’s whereabouts for $3.99 (usd).
they changed some devil grams (in OG) to please a loud minority of players that didn’t like having to kiss the brothers in the devilgrams. in a game about dating and kissing demons. they pandered to a small (but quite loud) minority of players BITCHING that they didn’t want to kiss the brothers. in a game about dating demons.
they’ve infantilized the game and lowered the age rating (to 12+) to make it more accessible to younger audiences which has significantly lowered the quality of the writing. this is a game about demons !! they are not child friendly and they don’t need to be written as such. a game about dating and romancing demons is a kids game now.
i want to express very sincerely that i absolutely adore obey me. i have for the past four years. (you should see my collection of luci merch LOL). it’s the first franchise i have devoted myself to so strongly. i just really hate s*lmare and how they keep getting greedier while offering NOTHING to fans but lukewarm content and constant money pandering. this franchise means a lot to me, and i know that rings true for most of the players, and it hurts to see it going down the drain like this considering it is so special to me. i love this community (except when people are crying over misinterpreting criticisms against s*lmare/devs as personal attacks) and i love what everybody creates. it’s all so so very special to me and it’s important that we all understand this. these games and franchise could be something so very special. it started out so different (in a good way!) than almost all other otomes i’ve played, but now it’s getting left in the dust because a multimillion dollar company is more worried about how to milk an extra $3.99 from they’re fans than they are making quality content that fans would be WILLING to pay for, instead of locking content behind paywalls.
i wish nightbringer was never a thing. the story they wanted to make could have easily when a 1-2 season arc in OG. but instead we were forced to essentially play the same game over again, just in a different setting and time, and pretty much be told that the time we’ve spent grinding and leveling up our cards and getting through all the battles was wasted. all for a new game that nickels and dimes players while offering shit in return.
solmare was proven that they have no intention of being transparent with fans. that they only want to milk whatever money they can from us. it’s created a lot of distrust and aversion in the community. and believe me, after all this, and even after obey me is run through and isn’t a cash cow for them anymore, i’ll never play another fucking solmare game ever again.
❤︎ it’ll always be ‘one master to rule them all.’
it’s very comforting to know that i’m not just a solmare hater and that a lot of what i’ve been saying hasn’t just been me being an ass. on twitter you can’t even breathe a whisper of something negative about s*lmare without people threatening to report you or just being dickheads about it. ‘cause god forbid this corporate entity with only its bank account in mind, that doesn’t care about any of us, receive any criticism.
now if only this same energy was under their official accounts and posts, maybe they’d listen.
… maybe.
or hell, can we just boycott them already? cancel VIP’s, refuse to play events, and so on until they change. but then again, chance of them changing are slim. knowing them, as soon as the money rolling in slowed a little bit, they might just move to the next big thing. but maybe not since obey me! is the biggest cash cow they’ve ever had (to my knowledge). it’s hard to say. i just want s*lmare to have some kind of repercussion.

returning to say that solmare has literally only gotten worse and greedier. here i was thinking “wow,, they’ve gotten so bad lately they couldn’t possibly get worse! … right?” but here we are. i’m so sick of solmare, i wish id never discovered obey me and gotten attached to the characters. literally solmare as a whole is such a bullshit, terrible company.
IF SOLMARE HAS 1 HATER, IT’S ME. IF THEY HAVE NO HATERS THEN KNOW THAT I AM DEAD.

Hey i want to request a drabble for prompt 'thunderstorm'
You are an amazing writer ♡
I never understood why I wanted this to be so perfect that I waited an entire month to post it and I still don't think I'd ever meet what I'm looking for in this fic. Anyways here we go.
