“BioWare says fans are taking criticism a bit too far.” Ohh, we passed a little too far waaaaaaaay back in 2011.

Re JohnnyC: I agree with you, though I think David’s point is that people like you and I are NOT in the minority, and that BSN has been taken over by a hateful, vitriolic minority.

It has really gotten out of control. The Bioware forums, once a place to go and share your experiences, whether they be positive or negative, playing any of Bioware’s many games over the decade, truly has become nothing but a toxic cesspool of nothing but hatred and negativity. It’s disgusting to see once loving fans get swept up in the vile hatreds of some very angry and depressed folks. There is a very fine line between constructive criticism and just plain hate. The former is a necessary (if not vital) element in the video game creation process, letting developers know where they went wrong in certain areas and how they can improve on them. The latter is nothing but the whining of depressed children who have absolutely nothing better to do with their time but purposefully seek out aspects of games far and wide, past, present, and future, to whine, moan, and get agitated over, knowing that the hatred they spew is ruining great experiences for others in the process. These people are fueled by this hatred and negativity, they thrive on it.
