How to deal with Negative Nances on this board

And if you don't like the negativity towards Sonic 4 - consider that behind all the smiles and "you guys are awesome" nonsense, Sega really don't give a about you... no matter how many copies of their games you buy. So defending them and Sonic 4 is a waste of time for that reason, and also because you're not going to stop us complaining anyway.

But yeah really, I don't think the people complaining about complainers are really that mad or seriously stressed out over the negativity, (unless they are, and that's just sad, because...) I mean how hard is it to put certain people on ignore lists, avert their eyes and scroll down any negative comments that they see or just turn off their computer, go outside and kiss their b/gf or something? It might be hypocritical if you look at the big picture, but everything, and I mean everything about the Sonic 4 board just reeks of /wahfirstworldproblems.

“The cost associated with something like that would be astronomical,” he explains. “I mean, we’re talking about millions of dollars here.”

If they will make GOOD Episode 3 - then the negativity will weaken.

How will they do that when the PR scrolls past negative feedback?

But to be fair, I'm sure reading over all feedback would cost millions of dollars.

No it won't. As long as there's games, there will be negativity. It's a sad fact of life.

Read his post again, he said it would weaken the negativity around this game.

For example, Colors and Generations still gets criticism and negativity, but it was nowhere near as bad or as unbearable compared to to all of the hate, flame wars, drama, confrontations, finger pointing, and labeling that has scarred this board.

We didn't get a stupid petition publicized, a (serious) green eyes rant video, or have tons of threads shut down and deleted by mods across multiple websites for those games as we did with 4. Even some critics were cringing at some of the fans' utter hatred for it.

Yes, negativity is inevitable for any game, but who cares; especially if the game in question receives so little of it, then it's nothing really all that sad.
