This is mostly directed at ObsidianAnt, TheYamiks, and their overall viewers.
(EDIT: I'll agree that a lot of OA's criticism is valid but I stand by the statement that a fair amount is nitpicky.)
.. why are you still playing the game if the ONLY thing you ever do is complain about it and SEARCH for issues. Yes I understand you used to enjoy the game and you're upset its not headed in the exact direction you want. But why are you making video after video complaining about the smallest of details. Fdev CANNOT, and WILL NOT conform to your every single dream and wish. That is simply unreasonable to even expect. This isn't subway or taco bell, you can't just request a company to change their ENTIRE product like it's a freaking cheeseburger that has pickles you didn't ask for.
Grow up. Please. Be the adults I know you can be and stop bashing them on Twitter and Twitch and anywhere else they choose to promote themselves. Those are PEOPLE, maybe treat them like it..
As for the console bros I completely get it i do. You're pretty much the only group I can reasonably understand being livid. You guys got screwed over. But if I may.. I think OA and TheYamiks have to shoulder at least part of the blame for that. When you're telling your thousands of viewers that this game is shit and they should refund it or not purchase it to begin with, what do you think that does to the developers ability to work on the game? You really think the people who make the decisions are going to risk bringing the game to older hardware when the overall reception of the game was tanked. Not to mention what it did to them as a company. If you want to point the blame, point it at the people who held war against the company they're begging stuff from.
Yes ody was crap when it came out, I couldn't spin that better if I wanted to. But you need to let the community come to their own PERSONAL conclusions versus telling your viewers. "Hey I think this game is shit and that's the only right option." How do you think people who only just heard about ED through your Odyssey videos feel about the game when that's all they hear?
If all you're going to do is spew hate on this post, maybe you should just scroll past it. If you disagree with me and want to be civil with your response im all for it.
(EDIT: Thank you to everyone who; even though you disagree, still choose to approach this conversation with class and respect. o7 to all you great CMDRs out there. )
