While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too.
Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Everytime I meet someone new around my friends. "So what do you do?"
"Oh I'm just a programmer"
My Friends! "well actually he!"
Them: "so you must be rich right?"
Me: "that's not how this industry works"

Had to buy a new drawing tablet, which I do NOT have the money for because I've been stuck footing an ~$300 monthly payment for a storage unit for the past two years.
If anyone can spare some money to help offset the cost I would greatly appreciate it.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)
