The news about SE's financials are making the rounds, this was a thread from yesterday on JP and on average a subject gets around these day 100-200 at most comments, a lot of people lurk and don't post.
But this one got 1314comments because people know the game is fucked and the financial finally prove it so they were airing their grievances, saying what went wrong what they previously enjoyed with the game and why it's in the current situation. A lot of people with good sense on their, basically boiling down
>Shit story
>Grpahics update ruined the love people had for their characters (remember a lot of JP play on console and can't alter their character)
>A lot of casual players with nothing to do for most of the content releasing they are very angry at Mr Ozma and Yoship, they think they're both incompetent because Ozma can't design battle content without apologising and making it harder than the design doc specified (example 24man savage, Criterion, Fork tower)
>They're pissed off about the Player Scope situation
>Pissed off at the attitude of the management
>Pissed off at the censorship on the official forums that delete posts and sometimes entire threads out of nowhere but if you're supporting the management and calling users, insulting them your post is never deleted
>Pissed off that the game seems to be in this state but the Producer is always travelling on overseas trips instead of being focused on the game
There is a lot in there they're pissed off at.
