I’m not a fan of these types of threads because they target forum members and can get personal as a result. The complaint threads target EA and that’s basically harmless.
I wish this was true but it's not. Clearly, people who are unhappy with things believe we all should be unhappy about the same things.
Clearly? That might be your interpretation, but it’s certainly not clear. I don’t think you can objectively look at a post that reads, “This game sucks for reason XYZ,” and decide that the person wants to ruin your fun, or cares at all about your enjoyment of the game. If so, that could be your own confirmation bias at work. Why not take it at face value as a person who’s frustrated and needs to exercise their paid-for right to vent about it?
Meanwhile, while you’re reading between the lines and deciphering hidden intentions in the complaint threads, topics like this one target a certain segment of forum members right up front, in plain language.
