That's all well and good, and I very much agree; but lately a lot of the "criticism" I've seen around this site, particualrly in certain threads, are massively exaggerated or unrelated to the actual game (and instead personal issues with the dev(s)), or else utterly empty statements that say nothing useful or helpful and instead primarily consist of "IT SUCKS DEV SUCKS FUCKOFF" (to paraphrase). On top of that, they have a very caustic, personally aggressive attitude about it and don't just say their piece, then leave; instead they linger around repeatedly posting the same negative comments over and over again, basically spamming the thread. (look at the Project X thread, for one of the best examples- nothing but a negativity circlejerk for a while now) That's why I've gotten to where I'm automatically a bit skeptical any time I see a game getting heavily "criticized" around here.
