>>22083684Frankly, I don't give a fuck about the BF, but there's a massive difference between a reference saying a feature is "coming" and a reference saying they once met a character who was in a previous game. The latter is harmless 'oh cool, a reference', while the former is fairly duplicitous and gives the impression that we will be seeing it in the foreseeable future to some people.
If they just wanted to give a nod, then they should have worded it differently. The fact that a fair amount of people actually thought it was coming proves they screwed the pooch.
Step off your high horse, and try not to trip on your ego on the way down.
