It wasn't polished yes, graphics were not great and people were justified being disappointed and returning it if they felt like it was game breaking

But the vitriol is what I mean, the pure hate, the threats to developers, the anger thrown at them. That is what I'm referring to. If some graphical issues make you so mad that you need to literally threaten people then I think you shouldn't game anymore. That's where I say entitled and anger issues.

There's always going to be a small group of people who take things too far once a game gets popular enough. I don't think it's right but I'd say it's to be expected
