You might want to re-read my post. No where did I justify anything.

Again, the devs, since this is a video game forum, aren't purely interacting with adults. There will be children on here, so if the developers want to interact with people on this forum, they have to expect that there will be some childishness.

Whether they are used to it or not, or it comes with the job does not make it appropriate though. I don't recall ever slamming Ian or Phil, or anyone else that came here because I respected them and understood that if they could do exactly what they wanted to, then the game would more than likely be a lot better. These guys are just like us and want their game to be better every year. Some times it is easy to make some changes we request, other times it is hard and near impossible, or just plain impossible.

I don't really know where I am going with this , so I'll just say this... I never have nor will I understand what these people think personally attacking the devs will accomplish.

Personal attacks should not happen.

Part of the problem is, one persons valid criticism is anther persons attack, and then a war starts between posters. It happens frequently.

Good backtrack. Hardly the only one who noticed what I did. At least you're consistent.

Yeah, I watch Beluba's tweets. Waiting for some juicy NBA2k info. So far Dirk getting some love is about the biggest I've seen. That's what I'm talking about some built-in space.....

It wasnt close to valid criticism. It was pure venom. It was personal. It had little to do with the actual game.

Some people are just spoiled little babies. At least at OS we don't have too much of those. But a lot of the members remember football games on the atari 2600. So we are happy with Madden.

And they should expect warranted criticism. I don't mind criticizing a game that deserves it, or criticizing the decision or direction a company takes a game in, but just don't go with personal attacks against them.
