Crimson Desert is already a hit with the game soaring past 2 million sold units under a day but it’s also having some problems with it’s control scheme particularly on the Keyboard and Mouse combo. Thankfully developer Pearl Abyss is well aware of the issues and has released a statement that they’re currently working on a patch designed to iron out those problems in the near future which is reassuring.
“In particular, we are aware of the discomfort many players have experienced with the controls, and we are currently preparing a patch to address this. We also want to apologize for not providing keyboard and mouse players with a satisfactory gameplay experience,” the team wrote on their official Twitter/X account.
So if you’re having troubles with Crimson Desert’s control functionalities, rest assured as the devs are on their way to make all the necessary improvements and will release a patch pretty soon.
The studio had also thanked all players for making their game a surefire success after Crimson Desert was confirmed to have sold past the 2 million mark:
“We are incredibly humbled to share that Crimson Desert has sold through 2 million copies worldwide.”
“Thank you so much to our fans, community, and everyone who has joined us in Pywel. We will listen closely to the wide range of feedback shared by the community and work to make improvements quickly, doing our utmost to make the journey ahead even more enjoyable for our players.”
However, the studio hasn’t officially addressed the AI usage in one of their in-game art assets which was discovered by a player and promptly shared on Reddit. While many developers have openly confirmed to using AI tools in their games, the entire subject remains hugely divisive in more ways than one and it’ll be definitely interesting to see how Pearl Abyss handles the topic.
The main reason why players are not in favor of generative AI usage in games is it takes the industry to a place where many artists and developers would be easily replaceable and can even be let go by the studios (as have happened many times as well as right now across many studios) or in other words, AI usage can endanger actual artists in a real way and as huge corporations have in the past, have put profit over people many times, the validity of the concern for jobs is undeniable.
