Yoshi-P Statement on Player Feedback

[Lauront]

You don't need to insult developers directly to make them upset.
There were plenty of cases when people absolutely didn't check on their tone while venting about whatever they disliked about the game. It's not any better than cursing at staff directly.

And if the individual is sensitive to any criticism whatsoever? This is a rather subjective sort of thing. I'm curious - if a developer can't handle reading feedback even when it's bereft of insults and simply because it wasn't phrased a particular way (which?), should they be reading feedback in the first place? How is this now not a matter of tone policing? It can be easier to disregard someone who is just venting, for some people, than someone who is actually pointing out flaws in their work.
