This highlights arguably the largest problem with this community. Criticism is suppressed as negativity and the game is coddled and developers put on a pedestal. This means that no meaningful feedback happens anymore, so developers start to feel like they don't get any real value from listening. And to be honest with all the shit takes I've seen in my three days on these forums, I could almost agree.

But yeah, they can definitely do better. Community managers and the LL don't have to be mutually exclusive.
