So many haters and haters who pretend they are indifferent. It’s just like people who made fun of Rockband “because it wasn’t real instruments” and Minecraft because “its just legos and looks weird.”
It’s a game, if you don’t like it, don’t play.
This thing came out in 2016 and for 10 years they’ve been pouring their love into it and making something beautiful and fun for those who just click with it.
This world sucks, don’t be another sucky part of it, have some whimsy. Or better yet, go somewhere you find happiness and share that with others who like that thing you like.
Yes Sean Murray lied by falling to deliver on promises he truly did intend to achieve at first and Sony’s marketing team made it worse and widespread. If people felt hurt and cheated for the failed launch back then, fair.
It’s been ten years, and the game is almost entirely different, for free. The distaste for it now is unjustified if it comes from back then, so let people enjoy the thing now. Again, if you don’t like it, don’t sit there saying “I don’t like it” while crossing your arms. Go find something else that brings you joy and share that joy with others there, instead of sapping the joy others feels here.
It’s a game, that’s why I compare if to games, and people who make fun of others who enjoy the game.
