In my opinion, one of the best and most overlooked features of Steam are the forums and their communities. Many game developers have people actively monitoring the discussions to get players feedback and improve upon the product.
Case and point, back when Darksiders III was released, I had a gripe with the dodge mechanic and posted this on the Steam Forums.
Not saying I was even the one responsible for it but later on, they did release an update which fixed many issues players complained about. They added a Classic mode for the combat system more in line with the other Darksiders games because the default one was too Souls-like. They also largely fixed the dodge/counter mechanic. If I remember, they either extended the window or made you invulnerable during a counter.
This was a while ago but I think it was really cool that the dev literally replied to a random player telling them their complaints would be addressed in a future update and thanking them for the feedback.
What are your experiences regarding devs on players' feedback? Any major differences between Steam/PC and consoles? Has a dev ever replied to you or fixed an issue you complained about?
