Finally Understanding SE's Decision Making (And Why It Won't Change)

This is some good stuff, I'm honestly jealous, I have no idea how you wrote that with a straight face

When you attack the person while not actually addressing any of the points they actually made, it ends up just being tacit admittance that you can't refute what they're saying. In other words, you're admitting that you know they're right and don't like it.

You're one to talk

Actually, honest, intelligent people do take him seriously. It's quite telling (and a bit amusing) to watch how even short, simple posts by him are magically "ignored" by certain bitter malcontents around here who know they have no actual response to the points he makes. Stand up to a bully and watch how they suddenly clam up and refuse to engage.

Narrator's voice: The couple dozen or so bitter residents are meaningless compared to the hundreds of thousands of players enjoying the game.

Thankfully, the silent majority of players are having a blast playing the game, having fun, and may not even know these other things exist, let alone find anything meaningful in them. Pray, disregard the bad-faith forum posters who are addicted to the game but so pathetically bitter they can't stand the thought of other people enjoying something.

I truly feel sorry for you and how bitter a human being you are around here.

Happy Birthday, Yoshi-P, and thank you for helping create a fun game.

Note: They do check player feedback. They look at engagement metrics they have on their own end. What they don't necessarily bother with is a couple dozen bitter dregs perpetually negative about everything on the forum here.

This. The simple reality is that the Scions are hugely popular among the fanbase at large, minus the dozen or so utterly bitter, sad, negative dregs around here that hate everything about the game, anyway, and can't stand that other people enjoy it. Final Fantasy has never been Game of Thrones. People by and large play this game to relax, have fun, and enjoy a good story with characters they know and like without wondering who's going to be offed next. New adventures with old friends, mixed with introducing a few new characters (a la Zero) is the way I hope they go.

They don't. It's just the natural reaction from honest people who see Yoshi-P getting personally attacked and the game absolutely trashed by a select few malcontents who are so pathetically bitter they can't stand the thought of people enjoying the game.

Like, there's virtually nothing else in your post history.

We are laughing and moving on. Feel free to believe whatever you need to (we'll keep laughing).
