you (the viewer) and i know that there's always gonna be alternative methods of playing the original, sure, but there's a lot of people who don't, and for as much as i don't care about the IP anymore it does feel kinda bad to know someone might bounce off of a series they'd otherwise love because-

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.

My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.

We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

i always think about this
