UPDATE - I MADE A MISTAKE POSTING THIS THREAD! I AM TRYING TO GET IT TAKEN DOWN! PLEASE JUST STOP RESPONDING!
I don't understand. If I see something I don't care to buy or I don't like, I just don't buy it. If a company chooses to make something besides what I would like to buy, I am disappointed personally. However, I don't run to the Internet and trash the product, trash the company, trash the employees, or trash the consumers that think the thing is great. So, some of you didn't get cars or better babies or farms or etc. Companies aren't in existence to make sure every single person is happy. They exist to make money. Make money so they can cover expenses, make better and new products, and pay their employees.
I am seeing a lot of "they didn't make what I wanted so EA is evil or greedy or stupid". No one is entitled to get everything they want all the time that they want it.
Also, all of the speculation just sets players up for the fall. The weeks and weeks of "I bet it is going to be X." Is followed by, "I'm pretty sure it is going to be X!" Followed by, "I KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then, of course, it isn't X. It is Y. So, everyone unleashes their disappointment in negative, hurtful comments. Negativity breeds negativity. Next thing you know people that like Journey to Batuu are in a war with the people that don't.
Also, people are mad because they want "more realism" in The Sims 4. I'll save that for another thread because I have a feeling I'm going to get flamed enough by this one. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong. I'm just asking, "Is a game worth all of the anger I'm seeing?"
This was well said. I've said a similar thing over the years.
When you take a step back it's not just the Sims...people sending hate mail to creators and ruining their careers from Youtube to Hollywood.
What they did to Dan & Dave was ridiculous after years of some of the best television ever made they were re payed with a level of venom that any objective observer would describe as unnatural. No wonder George is petrified to finish those books.
It's quite terrifying actually.
Dan and Dave did that to themselves by airing a half finished product. George RR Martin hasn't published a book from that series since 2011. He was a slow writer long before season 8. There was nothing to repay. I paid my subscription fees. After the fiasco of season 8, I canceled and I will never subscribed to HBO again. They can't handle series or showrunners. It's a clear pattern. I let them know.
TS4 was a half finished product, too. It still is. People are going to let them know, especially when they're acting like it isn't.
The only thing half baked about those episodes was you din't like what they did with the narrative, the quality of the production didn't change they spent more money than ever before, brought back some of the best directors. You just feel you are a better writer director and producer.The fact that you had a lot of company doesn't diminish the fact that fan reactions are often beyond mere criticism into a sense of entitlement that is neither earned nor deserved.
I never said I could do a better job. However, when D&D didn't want to do more episodes in season 8 as HBO asked, HBO should have fired them and found someone who could do it. So maybe I couldn't do it better, but
someone could. D&D were in a hurry to get out of there to do Star Wars, and it showed in the final product.
Spending more money doesn't necessarily produce quality. HBO spent $100 million on one season of Vinyl. It was horrid, and it was cancelled.
Entitlement would come in if I hadn't paid for it, and I did. That was dumb on my part. I won't do it again-- hence no more HBO subscription.
By the way, D&D are doing Remembrance of Earths Past for Netflix, so their careers are not over. They have gotten work.
I haven't seen any reactions to this Star Wars pack that I would call scary. If you have some screen shots I would appreciate you sharing them.
