Opinions on how TCR & FG are dealing with AAMFP criticism

[Ashtoreth]

you'd prefer a PR bullshit over an honest opinion?
when there are stupid hateful negative comments by the thousands by people who think that because they're desappointed by a game and they spent 20 of their precious dollars they have to be gianormous assholes about it, even if you probably try not to think about it, you have to be a buddhist monk not to have a bit of an epidermic reaction.

It is possible to give an honest opinion/response to criticism without sounding unprofessional. All it takes is a little assertiveness. Dan's reply was as low as all the hateful negative comments TCR has received.

I've worked 7 years in customer service and I had to put up with a lot of unfounded criticism, insults, harassment, customers questioning my competence and skills without any reason. If I had let my personal feelings and emotions interfere with my job, well, first I would have been fired, and second I would probably be in a mental asylum by now.

Suppose the game had been developed by Frictional Games and published by The Chinese Room. You would never ever see Jens Nilsson or Thomas Grip go into TCR forum (if they had one) and say things like: fucking brainless bullshit, shit, cock, the dream of a zygote in their parents underwear.

And by the way, I loved AMFP, so I'm not here trying to defend the people who criticised the game just because it wasn't Amnesia part II. Read Paddy's posts here and here and maybe it will make you have a different view on this subject.
