Still, we might get a respite for a bit. Most of the idiots will probably be busy for the next few weeks on the No Man's Sky review comments hating Sean Murray because their space giraffe is the wrong shade of purple.
And heaven help Christ Roberts if Star Citizen doesn't come with a free girlfriend and let them step into their PCs like in Tron.
What I said is true.
You talk "empathy" - a mob that grabs pitchforks and spews second-hand bile so they can get a vicarious justice boner doesn't care, they just want to feel important.
There were some who backed from the middle of internet blackspots somehow. The legit complainers couldn't fill a phone booth, and most got refunds.
Others wanted to play the beta (online), then grab last-second refunds for spurious reasons and grab copies through nefarious means. They couldn't, so they grew Chips on shoulders and raged about injustice, like a scammer who got caught dropping a dead fly in their soup bowl and presented with the restaurant bill.
As for bringing up WOW et al - I'd rather play Goat Simulator MMO. That captures the traditional MMO experience offline. Hey, perhaps you should haunt that game's reviews for a bit!
"salty they couldn't get a free copy" - Nice spin over FDev breaking a promise to Kick Starters, and it not having an offline mode.
"too thick" - Again that narrative is right out of Braben's playbook -- "and some reviews just can't be helped" is what he said.
"stay as entertaining as the first week's play" -- yes, actually, it should if you are allowed to play with friends and achieve things together, how else do you think WOW and EverQuest has remained major players in the MMO arena for over 10-(almost)20 years?
"and some just hate frontier because other people do" -- Yeah, when frontier screws someone over, that tends to cause a lot of people to show this thing called empathy and dislike frontier because of it. Again nice play but ultimately you failed there.
Its really hard to overlook this or even challenge those reviews when the CEO (Braben) of this publisher was caught on video telling his investors that his customers are "non-recourse money".

What does this mean? It is investor-speak for "We have all this money and we now have zero liabilities", even simpler, "we don't have to keep our promises" is exactly what it means.
So, if you want to know why the reviews are so bad, its because a LOT of us knows we've been promised things we simply have not and will not get.
Do you seriously think they will deliver 4.4 before December 31 while they're still bug-fixing 4.1?
