It's very easy to have a public image and a private image. And you see, as soon as the other day I was called a "kid" (I didn't even do anything, I just replied to a post which said that me and other devs did things in a wrong way while it was blatantly wrong, and I just pointed that out) and I replied by briefly exposing bad things that happened privately, this group of people caused a shitstorm by insulting me here (not that I care, to be honest) and by taking over private skype groups.
Also, it's pretty funny to see that as soon as people join this private "friends" group they become haters and start acting/speaking in an aggressive way. Must be group dynamics.
If being called a "kid" annoys you, never play ESO on PS4. It's happening. Regardless of which side you pick. We've all rationalized why the people playing the other sides must be ignorant 12-year-olds. The Aldmeri Dominion -- "poor 12-year-old kid saw LotR and thinks he's playing Legolas, probably doesn't even know the Altmer are racist." for example. Same happened with WoW actually. Alliance -- "Who idolizes feudalism and crown-wearing dictators? Oh yeah, 12-year-old kids." Oh well, it's probably for the best if you don't play MMOs. Wouldn't want your releases to become like Gateway's (don't get me wrong, I love the continued support, I've just long ago accepted that SOON means 1 to 6 months) .
Here's the thing. I don't see Rei attacking you here. If he did it on another site, attack him there. It might not even be the same Rei. I was playing Destiny one day and someone threatened to report me if I didn't leave the area. I was like "For what? I have no idea who you are, but I have just as much right to be here as anyone. If other people being present bothers you, there's offline games like 'Wolfenstein: The New Order' and 'Shadow Warrior'". It was probably a case of mistaken identity. I never use the same name twice. Sometimes I don't even use 77. Leaves it wide open for someone else, and as often as not, they will take it, being just as bad at coming up with original usernames as I am.
To all involved: I think you're all talented programmers. I think everything you all do for us is great. And I find all this pointless arguing sad. Retaliating often just makes you look like as much of an ass as your attacker. I don't claim to be a paragon of virtue. I don't always know when to stop, and I've outright lost it with people a few times. In fact, I'm feeling a bit like Dr. Dre in that song he did with Eminem called "Guilty Conscience" -- you know, where he's trying to tell other people not to be violent, "Cause he don't need to go the same route that I went." But I am trying to do better. People still take issue with this or that, but you can't win them all over.
Anyway, thanks for the new release, Rei, it's working great.
