I'm new to this community (played MO1 on and off, was excited by the potential, disppointed by the reality), skeptical of MO2 because of that, jumped in the stress test and impressed by what I saw. I think this narrative represents a lot of the general gaming community who are being exposed to the game right now.
Stepping in here to learn more about the game, I think you ya'll need to chill out. I understand you're concerned about where the game will end up and don't want to SV to mess stuff up, but when a new person comes in here tentatively interested in the game, seeing you all tearing each other apart and freaking out has as much likelihood of turning someone off of wanting to be a part as a negative review at Early Access (in fact it's already a kind of negative review). People are arriving here excited by what they saw and wanting to learn more. Hitting a wall of negatively and angst is likely to turn them away pretty quickly.
All I'm saying is keep in mind this is not just you guys debating with each other, you are communicating to new people whether or not they should spend their time and energy here. Seeing people being accused of being bots/burner accounts of the CEO because they project hope about the game being something they'll enjoy sends a pretty clear message to those tentatively interested.
I hope there's a way to projecting hope and welcoming to new people without being a "Yes man" that doesn't clearly communicate to SV ways to improve.
Thanks and hope this is helpful!
