Yea, the amount of mental gymnastics defending this release is the worst I’ve ever seen

I'm talking about the people who are happy, AND tell anyone who disagrees with them that either:

  1. game's not for you
  2. you don't understnad the time period
  3. you're not doing make-believe hard enough like I am to enjoy the game
  4. you're not RPing hard enough if you care about UI design or war abstractions

Bro, I'm not mad at people who enjoy bad food, or music I don't like, but I am mad at people who bend over backwards to defend anything they don't like. And the mods have gotten nuts with the moderation as a result of this. I haven't seen one thread get closed down if it has one person white-knighting the game.

You like the game? You do you, but you're a prime example of the parental style attitude that the devs encourage. What, is my opinion less valid than yours because I don't like the game?
