>>36343231Verlisify lives in this weird world where the only way you're a fan of something is by endlessly praising it. In his view, being critical of something is only proof that you don't like it and it wasn't made for you, and therefore you need to back off being so critical. Which is hilarious, because it comes off as him praising Pokemon and GF not because he's a legitimate fan, but because he's trying to make sweet, sweet YouTube ad revenue.
Sure, communities surrounding a video game can get stupid and toxic. But that can only happen if the developers in question spend a lot of time and effort to NOT listen to the needs of its fans. Regardless of whether or not LGPE turns out to be any good (and indeed, it seems to be skyrocketing into mediocrity), it will be remembered as an absolute marketing blunder, taking away features appreciated by a long-standing player base to try to convince players of a free cell phone game to buy a $299 console and a $60 remake of a 20 year old game.
