Yoshi-P Statement on Player Feedback

[Krotoan]

it derailed with the creation because it's about JP players mailing knives and death threats to the devs and not about players criticizing or complaining about class design decisions

Questions:
Do you really think people who would mail knives and give death threats about a video game can be reasoned with?

Is it so farfetched to believe that a statement about verbal abuse and how it's not useful as feedback an can actually be harmful to future creativity is about people verbally abusing developers in general?


I'm aware a lot of people are taking it to extremes (as the forum always does) with "NO CRITICISM!" and "ABUSE CAN BE WARRANTED".. but .. I'd say the founding statement is at least partially asking for people to be less vitriolic in their criticisms or at least not call into question developers creds and dedication.
