How can they have an opinion when nothing is shown here?
It's like saying:
Oh you know I don't like the new Star Wars movie because the trailer sucks!
Oh I don't like that book because the title and the cover are not nice.
Wut?
That's not an opinion, that's hating for no reason. lol
You can have an opinion when you have enough info and/or you actually tried the product.
Someone else addressed the point of uninformed opinion vs informed opinion so I'll leave that.
I'd also like to dispel freedom of speech. One, it doesn't entitle you to an audience. Two, it doesn't relieve you of the consequences of what you say. Three, it's often the defence of someone who doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Further to that, this whole I'm the paying customer, I'm always right business. No you are not and I'm really glad right to refuse service is a thing. Get over yourself. I often find customer service employees and social media handlers have to put up with people being rather disgusting all day and, funnily enough, if you're the one pleasant, respectful, and understanding customer they've had all day they're far more likely to genuinely want to help you.
You made some good points but I must disagree with these and especially the bolded.
I've found the people who have a problem with freedom of speech either have no defence for their own views or do not want them challenged. If there's no freedom of speech then everyone eventually starts to think the same and process reality the same, who wants a hivemind? I know I don't, I like people having differing opinions so I can understand other views and to talk and share different ideas with others.
As far as customer service, if people go into that industry they need to know what to expect and know that it goes with the territory. I train people in MMA and often get extremely sore and bruised from training, I'm not going to go into this upset that it is happening, I know it comes with the territory. Same with cops who risk their lives, or military, etc. they know these things can and do happen and they go in knowing those risks. Should people be friendlier with CS personnel? Sure they should but I've worked CS before and I know that often times their bad day is a frustration with a product or service, not me, so in the industry you know and learn to brush things off. If every business has a "screw you" attitude to the customer or potential customer base then they will not be a successful business. They should cater to their main demographic and if they are hitting their target market and profitting then they can ignore the customer base they are not targeting or trying to cater to.
Here is where I stick my head above the parapet and could end up being hated on, but still, let's see what happens.
I genuinely wonder about that. That seems to sugges that a commercial company has a duty of psychotherepeutic intervention so that people learn to express their feelings in an appropriate way. Really?
Also, while it is true that people are free to whine, is this something that anyone at all should encourage? (Just because I can do something in no way indicates whether or not I should do it.) Whining is not an adult way to deal with difficulties or disappointments, so should a commercial company be actively seeking to facilitate that?
Good points, I think someone else stated that people should have some grasp on how to get productive complaints out of people who do whine so they can turn it into a constructive apperance.
@masterlobo worded it perfectly so I will not add anything else.
I read through the new posts today.
Honestly don't have much more to say at the moment.
(I will say that I am not saying people can't have opinions, but I do think the assumptions that there are no improvements when we haven't announced all the info are opinions of questionable value).
You are a very balanced person on here and I agree that their opinion carries little or no weight and should be dealt with as such. Your approach is not only professional but very fair, you do a good job here, I was somewhat hesitant to follow you here when this site first started from the "other site" based on how you came across sometimes but you have proven to be a great asset here and have matured greatly and you are deservedly well loved. You have my respect.
Oh yeah...to stay on topic.....I hate to do this but someone has to....
(breaks into KADOKAWA office and encounters "The Boss")
Knightmare: Sir, you SHALT be releasing MZ TODAYITH or you will be strucketh down with my Knight Sword of +2 Might....
Touchfuzzy's Boss: ...bbb....bb...but....sir.....we have to tease some more first!
Knightmare: NO! That shalt not torture the people any longer!
(Knightmare strikes TF's Boss with his Knight Sword of +2 Might...the numbers 1732 jump out of TF's Boss pocket....TF's Boss takes 1732 HP of damage....TF's Boss is defeated....Knightmare receives 1200 EXP...Shiny loot appears in place of the defeated foe....Knightmare retrieves the precious RPG Maker MZ Mass Distribution Node....Fanfare is played....RPG Maker MZ is released.)
Anyway I'm excited for the animation news Thursday, in all honesty making animations wasn't that bad imo but it was definitely tedious at times and I could only crank out 3-5 before I got bored of it and moved onto something else. TF has got me excited with his statement about how people didn't like to finish animations so now I think this will be a huge and vast improvement and my body is ready.
