    I'm honestly glad he came out and said what he said. So many entitled gamers are so quick to go to action over anything they consider wrong with "their" games. Hell, back in the NES days, do you remember how many games had terrible endings? Even up to the 32-bit generation, sometimes your favorite series just kind of shafted you. Were there letter writing campaigns and protests? Nope. The whole Mass Effect 3 ending war was the most pathetic, self-entitled filth I've ever seen my community roll around in, and it makes me sad to be a gamer sometimes. So, yeah, I get it when developers just want to scream "grow the hell up!" because I think there a lot of very vocal gamers right now who need to do just that. Kudos to Harada-san, and hopefully somebody listens.

    Are you really going to compare Mass Effect 3, a lavishly-expensive 3 game series with countless multimedia tie-ins to some unnamed 32-bit games that might have had bad endings? That was nearly 20 years ago, is what some people are forgetting. The internet, media, communication from developers to everyone else, all pretty different now from what it was back then. Stop pretending everything prior to the present was some sort of peaceful, idyllic society where no one ever got mad, and that it's only the past 15 years that inexplicably transformed millions of people into crazed hatemongers.

    I wish more developers would do this, then I might lose my sense of entitlement.

    sometimes I wonder if listening too much to your fans is a bad thing. Tekken's bloated roster of 1million characters can probably attributed to this kind of fear of fan backlash. that's one thing I don't like about Tekken, along with constant juggle-fishing.

    For those of you out there who seem to have forgotten what an opinion is, i'll give you the definition; "A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.". This is what most of us gamers give you. Our opinion. We do not all feel "a sense of entitlement" when we feel a game is bad. Simply, we dislike it and have just as much right to criticize it as you do to praise it. It seems nobody is allowed to do this anymore however. If someone has a positive opinion about something these days, they're "Fanboys" - or for reviewers, "They're in the companies pocket". Have a negative view, and we're "entitled, whingy and immature". I think it's you guys who need to learn to have respect for everyones views and do a little growing up yourselves.

    Yeah, you're right, I think we're actually on the same page.
