“as far as I can see” is the take away there. Because the forums are the base of negativity, look at this place. You get labeled and insulted just for implying you enjoy the game. Ofcourse it’s going to look that way to you here.
“news articles” negative to the game are literally based and quoting USER POSTS from THESE forums and Reddit.
It’s all pointless, the whining, the constant crying. I mean it’s utterly pointless other than people want to feel this way or that, like they’re in charge or matter or something. But they don’t. Just the same as the people who enjoy the game, doesn’t matter.
Enjoy or it don’t.
Play and wait for the obvious improvements over time…
or move on.
