There was indeed one ad hominem (and you rather asked for it) but where did you see red herrings?Lets see. 2 Red Hering and 1 Ad hominem. Why exactly are you in defence mode? We didnt talk about game mechanics we talked about Eric as a villian which in this particular genre is missplaced.
The Audience was enraged and DS reacted by giving the Audience the chance to get rid of him. So this sucess as you describe it is not made by the "Villian Eric" but by adjusting to the main group of audience who wanted him out the game.
As i said there is nothing wrong about you being "hooked" and enjoy beating Eric. But the fact that the majority wanted to get rid of him "no matter how" is simply showing you that you are in the minority with that.
The majority wanted him gone. DS adapted and did fulfill this request and the sucess came with it. Part of that is to listen to the majority while ignoring the minority.
I dont mean you disrespect or try to change your opinion in this but the sucess of this game was made by DS listening to his audience and what they like and dislike and providing a solution instead of going back and simply delete Eric out of the game.
But as you can see in this forum most ppl dont want him ingame whatsoever as the game itself is already a kind of a grind in itself.
Whatever.
Don’t you think “enrage” is better than apathy? Don’t you notice everything successful is rather controversial in nature? Don’t you think fierce debates contribute to success? Because it is. There is nothing wrong with fierce enrage with hundreds of pages of complains. It is rather bad to have couple of polite posts from select few patting on your back.
