I feel I need to address an issue
to whom it may concern.
Given the post I just saw right before deletion, I'm amazed what anger makes people say, do or threaten - and we're "only" talking about a delayed (several times, granted) digital entertainment product. Of course, I don't mean this particular post, not just, but any post mirroring those. Thus I refer to countless posts out there on the net.
I feel these are first world problems. Again, I am not saying no one should not be frustrated, perhaps even angry, pissed.
But to those it may concern, and to avoid an argument in here, just take it in for yourselves:
Jesus, people, take a deep breath. I would even go as far and say: Get a grip.
Disappointment and criticising this? Totally fine, even if unpleasant for the company. It is what it is. They'll survive.
But just as they will survive or have to bear the brunt of some of the negative feedback, YOU (again, to those it may concern) will survive having to wait a bit longer for a 'mere' (even if highly awaited) digital entertainment product. It's not like someone is withholding you food, water, shelter or a large sum of money that you can spit out physical threats or go as far to even imply it in semi-serious fashion.
It just makes you look silly. So please, for the sake of remotely civil arguments and your own sake, people, let's try to avoid this.
So to summarize, why did I post this or what do
you get out of this post?
It's a call to calmness. Not perfect tranquility, but it's no use going nuts or over board in threatening fashion (physical harm) as the game won't land on your consoles or hard drives any sooner anyway. Because no matter how we like it, it's just a damn game in the end. Highly awaited or not, it shouldn't make you go as far to threaten physical harm.
Try it without - makes you look less like an entitled or spoiled consumer.
With that said:
