If Starfield (re)taught me anything it's that some people will take the slightest reservation about their Best Game Ever as a mortal insult. So… they certainly can't.
I think the other side of that coin is that, for a lot of intellectual property, there are definitely people who want everyone to stop enjoying it. So you've got a bunch of loud mouth idiots who don't understand constructive criticism or criticism from a place of love. Then you have a bunch of other loud mouth idiots who believe that if something isn't exactly what they think it should be then it should be burnt to the ground so that it can get remade by someone else.
So reasonable people who are having a good time but still have some reservations are drowned out in the larger conversation.

That mentality is so weird to me…
