    No, things becoming more extreme versions of themselves frequently alters their overall effects. To exaggerate to make my point clear, isn’t mass murder just an extreme form of target shooting?

    Trying to identify something without taking its real effects into account is rather silly.

      I get it but I feel like a vast majority of the criticism they are getting doesn’t fall under the extreme category or into bullying.

      Some people might be making Gmanlives-style quips in the Steam reviews that might make themselves feel good but I think a majority of it’s just general disappointment and people expressing it.

          Yeah I think that goes with people voicing their disappointment. It’s like with Fallout 76 a lot of the community was split on it. Even now defending it can lead to dog piling.

          People are debating in the community. It might not make for a super fun place to be that’s kind of just the reality of it for now.
