Gehenna

I disagree. Wishing someone would lose their job over a delay is entirely toxic and exposes little empathy for others. It's not a healthy state of mind to have. Most people involved in video games just want to do their job. It's coders, graphical artists and so on just doing their job to the best of their ability. Arbitrarily calling a group of people shill and scammers isn't quite a normal behavior. Go around the Internet, read what's being posted on Reddit, Twitter, or even here, on this forum, I guess. There are ways and ways to express criticism and disappointment. To say that FM25 has been handled poorly until now is a legitimate opinion one can have, if expressed with the right tone. To say that SI is a bunch of thieves and people should be fired isn't criticism, it's just toxicity. I don't believe it's okay for people to freakout on this level... over a video game, no less. I love FM, but there are a lot of other games to play, and I'm still having a lot of fun with FM24. It's not the end of the world and no, Sports Interactive isn't a company of scammers out to get your blood.

I never posted here, but felt like writing something in light of the delay. I'm disappointed... by the fans. I've seen some total freakouts on Reddit, Twitter, and elsewhere around the Internet. People accusing SI to be scammers, that they delayed the game but still accepted pre-orders to scam customers, that they are incompetent, that people should be fired, and other "kind" comments. I understand a significant delay can be pretty jarring and hard to accept, but there's no excuse to engage in this level of toxicity. I don't believe SI is out to mistreat its own fanbase, and I'd rather have them get FM25 right than deliver something unpolished (or even broken) just to appease people who expect a game delivered every November, like clockwork.
