You're right. I believe in March 2016 I said if Capcom announced Arcade Mode eventually people would post "too late". Lo and behold, the rumor thread from yesterday. There's no winning.
Well, its the pretty much nearly same exact shit in FFXV threads. Every time squenix does an update of any kind, even if its part of the already announced season pass, you get similar comments. Its not even about whether or not the game is improved or not with the update, its all about hurt feelings about whether or not you were happy with the game at launch or not. The thread no longer serves its intended puprose because some people insist on guiding all discussion to that subject no matter what the context of the thread is.
Its one thing to question whether it will have the intended effect of bolstering sales and awareness for the title at this point, its another to leave garbage-water at-the-bottom-of-the-dumpster-tier posts every time you see a thread with SFV in it and see red. Every single thread that involves the game is not about hurt feelings about a bad launch. And people feeling they have to defend the game at every turn are not helping either, engaging with low effort drive by posts kills any potential the thread has just as badly as people going out of their way to shit post in them.
Its getting close to impossible to have productive discussion, critiques and criticisms included, on gaming side.
