DT has been getting dunked on since release and it's not even that bad. It's as bad as it's been for years, people just turned a blind eye to it because they thought the story was half decent.
They stayed away from the forum even before it went full negative though, even on the Japanese side (and the German one is dead anyway).
They simply don't want to interact with the community in best Japanese business fashion like so many others there.
There is a reason why they don't win any community awards anymore. We aren't even worth a timely translation and the whole thing would break down if our discord translators quit.

I sometimes try to speak against the worst negativity but even I have to wonder why anyone is so surprised by it.
The devs worsened job identity more and more and in the case of BLM even against desperate feedback by its players.
People were screaming against the void but to no avail until they gave up and just quit.
Their very first reaction to the negative impact to 7.0s story was to deflect and try to ignore like always until the whole thing simply didn't die down because of blunder after blunder and playernumbers dropped to a point they admitted complacent behaviour themselves.

There definitely is the will and the first tries to win players back again but the negativity on the forum is entirely of their own design because people are simply fed up by not being listened to again and again.
At one point the glass simply breaks and while I am against the worst ways people give their criticism I can completely understand their frustration.
