So instead they drop the ball. They let things get lost, retcon others and in general just lower the overall quality.
People accept this. Make excuses for it. And convince themselves it is somehow better for it.
Now the company can keep putting out the lower quality, easier to make product and everyone just sees it as normal vs a drop in quality.
Shadowbringers brought people in. (Actually WoW collapsing brought them in but lets pretend it stood on its own merit). People talked shit about other games compared to this one. They CANNOT admit they were wrong. So whatever this game does going forward will always be better and awesome because to say otherwise is to admit to being wrong.
A bit overgeneralizing of a statement, isnt it?
