Look, he’s not really wrong per se. The internet does run disproportionately on outrage, and plenty of people judge shit that they’ve got no right to be judging because they don’t actually spend time thinking about what makes good art. And not listening to people who’re determined to hate you is always healthy.
But another open-world multiplayer survival game? Really? At some point, this becomes like complaining you’ve got a coyote problem after you left a bunch of roadkill out in your yard. You can’t just make yet another entry into an incredibly overdone genre (seemingly without a USP, no less!) and not expect people to get tired of it.

Not CEO. Kaplan was a VP at Blizz.
Thank you! I was like “who?”
Oh Lord, no.

Some subset of people will be into this game. The rest of us can just ignore it. No skin off our backs.
Looks very pretty though. And is there currently a Western open world survival game?
I look forward to him blaming others when it flops. What a loser, we all remember overwatch Jeff, retire.
