On the one hand Kaplan is right, people should STFU instead of giving their opinion on something they don’t really care about in the first place. But on the other hand the masses don’t complain about good games so there’s also something the devs can do. I get that it comes across as “just make good games, duh” but it doesn’t take a lot of effort to see that another “competitive live service FPS” or “Ubisoft style open world adventure” or “extraction shooter” is going to be met with apathy. Maybe start by first figuring out what people might actually want to play instead of chasing boring trends. If you find your target audience they will cut the noise of the morons who don’t care in the first place.
