Those of you trivializing the disappointment of the community looking forward to the ultimate content that was delayed by a year, please consider the exact same thing can — and arguably should — happen to you as well in time.

Just because “you’ve got yours” doesn’t excuse Square from the situation of a promise made, a promise broken. Just because (as some falsely claim) a superminority of the community participate in Ultimate doesn’t diminish the disappointment that community is experiencing right now.

Furthermore, the ultimate events and streams are a huge draw to the game and an excellent component to raising awareness for this game. Even if you never step foot into ultimate and never watch streams, you benefit from the new players that join and begin paying a subscription because of Ultimate’s push.

I want as many people as possible to play this game, and the grand spectacle of Ultimate is a component to drawing people in. I’m disappointed we basically have nothing for that subset of players to look forward to until a year from now, and I’m especially disappointed at the childishly toxic hypercasuals that can’t stand to see people better than them at the game getting rewarded for their investment.
