Yeah I think expectations are too high, where people expected a perfect game like cities skylines forgetting that when it launched it was also a very rocky start.
Gamers in general are just very entitled, and very unforgiving
Didn't the sequel have some pretty large problems on launch?
Nah man, that's just entitlement. Wanting your $50 game to work well when you buy it is peak entitlement, you should be happy your game is running at 10fps with your 4080 RTX.
It wasn't polished yes, graphics were not great and people were justified being disappointed and returning it if they felt like it was game breaking
But the vitriol is what I mean, the pure hate, the threats to developers, the anger thrown at them. That is what I'm referring to. If some graphical issues make you so mad that you need to literally threaten people then I think you shouldn't game anymore. That's where I say entitled and anger issues.
There's always going to be a small group of people who take things too far once a game gets popular enough. I don't think it's right but I'd say it's to be expected
