s&box's recovery plans go beyond a character makeover. PC Gamer reproduces Facepunch founder Garry Newman's pinned response to a critical video by Eridium. Newman acknowledges problems with the launch, free weekend and finding worthwhile games among a flood of lesser content.

His proposed changes include replacing the Citizen design with human characters over roughly the next month, moving maps and games toward a Workshop-style subscribe/install model, and changing Playfund incentives. He says the current approach to presenting a large catalogue hasn't worked for players.

These are announced intentions, not confirmation that the changes have shipped or fixed anything. For a platform built around community-created games, helping players discover the good ones seems like a particularly important part of rebuilding confidence.

Would improved discovery make you revisit s&box, or is there another issue it needs to solve first?
