Hi, I want to ask is there’s any requirement to emailing feedback to developers? Or should we just fill out in game survey forms and not send mails? Thank you in advance

You shouldn't email developers directly unless they've explicitly told you to do so. Game devs (especially AAA devs) aren't interchangeable and we don't all work on the same thing, have the same expertise, or even work within the same team. For example, on an enormous game like Call of Duty, there are many hundreds of developers working on it at any given time.
