With the state of modern gaming, I can't fault anyone who jumps down the throat of anyone speaking positively. It's such a fucking predatory industry at this point, full of shitfuckery, and personally I don't want to give any positive reinforcement to any games that have invasive DRM, online-only, kernel-level access, in-game ads and microtransactions, 3rd-party accounts, 3rd-party launchers, 3rd-party EULAs, prolific data-mining, etc. All of these should be deal-breakers. Things are this way because we allow them to be.
