Quinn hating on the game.

[CKNovel]

They don't deserve the backlash because of how they played.
How about this. It is squares fault for having a boost in the first place, because in other games it is the normal to boost. So this company in a cash grab has a cash shop item that can ruin the game for certain amount of people. So that is the fault with the company.

It can easily be turned around like that, but that is not really my point. My point is, lazy peon, and Quinn both don't deserve to be attacked for having dumb takes.

No you don't deserve a backslash based on how you play a game. Otherwise game journalists would have a hardtime.
No one deserves backlash like no one deserves to burn themselves when they play with fire. But that's a consequence that is out of our hands.
On top of that, the backlash is not about "how they played" but what they criticize based on the ridiculously low experience they had with the game.

The boosts is not SQEX fault, look at the fire example just above. Boost is a tool, if you know how and when to use it, it's great. If you don't your experience of the game will be reduced.
But for a first experience, it's not advised to use a boost. Fun fact, Quinn did a poll to ask his community if he should quit the game or boost.
Obviously his viewers saw that it wasn't his game and advised him to quit (70% of them), yet he decided to boost.

Xenosys has a great take on the boost, if you're not a story enjoyer you can boost as the game doesn't teach mechanics or anything about the game. But you have to do homework to understand the game.
Again, there's plenty of materials to show that they did not do any of these and used the boost in the worst way possible.
