There only needs to be one justification.

1. The devs don't want to, in order to maintain the integrity of what their brand and intellectual property stands for, difficult and unforgiving gaming.

I think, after they've made that clear, continuously angrily demanding that they go against their own creative vision is actively wrong. All else is irrelevant.

That is also fair.

I remember the one of the bayonetta or DMC guys saying "I don't see a problem with adding an easy mode to my game" like it meant anything.

I'm like, "Sure, good for you, and I do enjoy your games, but we're not talking about your games right now."

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, if the devs went "we're adding easy and Super Easy Store Lore modes to all our games now" I'd just shrug and be ok with it.

Their whole capital-T Thing is the unforgiving stuff though. At this point I respect them sticking to their guns about it, even if I don't care for their games.

That's a valid reason for not doing it but it doesn't make the people who want it wrong, either.

I disagree in the strongest possible terms.

Then that's where we'll have to be stuck.

For the record, the key word there to me is "demanding." If it were simply "wanting" it to change, no issue here. To me it's the difference between wishing there were more of your kink in fandom and demanding people who don't want to write it, to write it for you. Or berating them for not doing it after they've signaled disinterest. One's fine, the other is not.

Don't like, don't read. Don't like, don't buy.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that people shouldn't be rude or hostile about it, of course.

But I think the difference between "demanding it" and "wanting it to exist and not wanting to play the game unless it exists and saying so" is pretty miniscule.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I think the difference is vast.

Me stating that I refuse to read fics that have my NOTP in it, lemme know when that changes and meanwhile I'll move on with my life, is way different from me going to the author and being like, "you're -ist unless you write my ship. So do it already, assholes."

That is... simply not miniscule to me.
