Why are developers/journos so quick to dunk on the audience in vidya? I feel like I always see devs or journos excusing something shit happening either in or relation to games, but in film/tv the examples are significantly more slim. Over in film/tv they only expect people to use kid gloves if you work inside the industry, because networking but also because they understand how hard it is, meanwhile in vidya it seems like everyone is expected to use kid gloves when critiquing. Marvel, biggest franchise at the moment hence why it's my example, has had a rough few years and actually has a lot of good reasons for such (dropping Kang, too many projects, Disney+) but they've never lashed out at audiences for not being supportive, hell fucking Fantastic Beasts was outright cancelled with 2 movies left and no audience attacks were made, the only time I am aware of audiences being attack was the Snyder Cut discussion *but* even those attacks were understandable as they were completely correct, that particular cut of the film didnt exist in the form they believed it did until the pandemic allowed for something to be done.just a thought I had today.
