I don't really think gaf is much different from anything else you find on the internet or, you know, the real world. Every thread has some nice people, some annoying fanboys, some people who care more about how the characters are dressed than gameplay, some others who just love to shit on things everyone else like.
That's not a problem. The problem was Rime having a troubled development and Sony deciding to step away from them. Probably those rumors were just speculations, but we didn't know. What we know is that the game is now real because they decided to show it after more than 3 years.
You might think that telling the creative director to "man up" is unfair, but I disagree. It's about taking your own responsibility. Did gaf made a CG trailer 4 years ago to show the game and then disappeared or was it Tequila Gameworks? Did they come out and explain the Sony move right away or did we have to wait several months to know that they simply wanted to go multiplatform and reacquire the rights to their own game? (which is not a great move anyways. They basically wasted money where they could have simply followed through with the exclusivity deal)
I am sorry for the developer, I understand how though it is to get this kind of hate, but there's nothing wrong with gaf. Either stop reading it or try avoiding disappearing for so long.
Either you are active on the internet, showing your game's progresses on a weekly/monthly basis, or you just ignore the internet all at once.
There's a lot of reasons to hate blame/gaf (like the excessively aggressive behavior of some people when it comes to certain topics) but this is not one of them.
