Realistically, people who dislikes the game will just leave the forums and forget about it, while others enjoying it will support it and offer detailed feedback. Then you have the middle ground, people who WANTS to love the game but just cant due to some xxx flaws...Basically a HUGE minority in a sea of supporters which heavily criticize the slightest mention of something negative toward the game...hence lowering this middle ground to just pure dislike towards the game, the end result being...just leave the forum and forget about the game.
What will be left is basically just supporters and a few haters that holds grudges.
This has been precisely progressively happening since last November. Its actually a fascinating case study.

My take:
Productive/concise/constructive criticism is especially helpful during EA. Everything else isn't.
