anyway I think that's just a growing problem with a lot of communities (marvel movies, star wars, wow, ect). it's seen as an attack on their interests so getting defensive and deflecting criticism is bound to happen.

I think the worst part for me is the emotional manipulation that happens at times, people bring up Soken having cancer or the devs going through a hard time during COVID and fans being terrible to them as a way to deflect criticism, which is just awful imo. reddit is pretty bad for this with people not being totally happy with EW especially
I couldn't agree more. Any criticism for anything lately is met with harsh responses or people bring up irrelevant things like Soken having cancer or that we should be grateful we are getting anything. Uh...we're paying for this game and we have a right to address concerns, provide feedback, and state our opinions. Some fans are just completely defensive and extremely aggressive to any criticism which deep down inside they probably know is true. We live in sad times in all fan communities right now (especially Star Wars as you mentioned).
