>>713328674 (OP)It's a issue that pretty much any Fanbase has when it reaches a critical point of popularity and crosses from niche to mainstream. Especially when the series goes through a very long series of having no "bad" games.
It happened with Fromsoft games post-DS3.
It's happening with with Monster Hunter post-World.
It's happening to most Capcom titles honestly.
Dick rider fans will ignore issues and continue to praise dog shit design until real consequences start happening, and the game actually starts losing interest and the devs lose good will. Like what happened with WoW's slow decline, or CDPR games, or Bioware, or Nintendo franchises, etc.
