The post continues, "you mean everything to us and I felt that you deserved more than just a simple patch note, which is why I wanted to take this opportunity to personally apologize for the current state of the game."
Further down in the post, Boo addresses issues players are currently being faced with such as the controller sensitivity issues, balance improvements for the "Boogieman" match type, and aiming issues with the CAR-4 rifle. The developer also explains how this is happening and what the team is doing to resolve the issue for players.
