But that is making equal assumptions about people being here for the Larian brand. Sure, the forum activity could easily be a vocal minority but if you say you make assumptions one way, you also cannot make assumptions the other way. I personally know more people who share my thoughts and wanted either a BG game or a 5e DND game rather than a Larian game.
Actually the 'Vocal Minority' is what's going on in the forums. To try and say that's what skews the conversation to 1 side of the purist mentality, is a can of worms that I don't want to bother with opening. I could state that purists are a huge group of people on most gaming forums, but that's anecdotal, and spending my time trying to find data and statistics to prove that, is not something I care to do, or get into.
That is still assumption. Without data, you do not really know if it is the vocal minority. You would need to look further than just the forum here, it is a view I have seen on reddit plenty as well. That in itself does not say much, aside give me a vague perspective with my immediate experiences, but without data, you cannot just assume (like you told people not to assume). It does go both ways.
You are taking my comment out of context. We are in fact the vocal minority. The majority doesn't bother coming onto forums. I said we cant state whether that minority is actually skewed in any certain direction from the majority that isn't here voicing their interests. I also pointed out that my experience that there are more purists on forums, is anecdotal, and I personally have no interest in using my time to track the stats to figure it out. Therefore I was saying its not an assumption anyone can make.
