Hey there all. Time for another little opinion sharing session. This time we'll be talking about something that I personally am interested in how you guys feel about:
How do you voice criticism differently if it's directed directly at the content's creator?
So we basically criticize things all the time. We say our thoughts about movies, games, and so forth. We decide if we like them, or don't like them. And sometimes we even go into massive rage mode tearing the whole thing apart, and calling it a worthless piece of cash-in junk. That's how we normally do criticism among ourselves AKA consumer base.
Here's the question today though: If you were faced with the creator(s) of the thing in particular how would you change the way you voiced your feedback on the product to him/her? Would you be more polite, or would you tear it all into pieces all the same?
As an example, say you hate Call of Duty a lot, and think it has a ton of problems which you voice quite honestly in most situations. If however one day you were faced with a Call of Duty game's level designer, and he asked your opinion, how would you voice it differently from the usual angry way you say it, if at all?
Keep in mind there is no correct answer, and I'm interested to hear all your thoughts!
PS: I'm also going to use this chance to gather a public opinion. I may very likely create more of these little "discussion/opinion scenarios", and I would like to ask you all if you think it'd be better to make a new thread for each one to keep each topic more focused, or to keep it all in one thread to keep from cluttering up the forums? Keep in mind though that they won't come SUPER often, and at very most once a week.
