You do realize that the differences are what're causing the comparisons, right? If there were no differences, then there'd be nothing to compare. And development philosophy is something that can affect people's enjoyment of a game. So when you have two games in the same genre with different philosophies, comparisons are bound to happen.

That's actually an example of player choice not making a difference. And my chosen path made me "lose out" on a toy unless I choose the other path with another character. It made me quit Horde for Shadowlands, ugh. (Until being a BEDH draws me back again in the future.)
