While they certainly have a right to express their dissatisfaction, the excessiveness with which they do it in almost every thread becomes disruptive and toxic to be around.

But more to the point, I think it is pretty tragic that anybody would visit a forum for a video game they aren’t looking forward to daily for multiple years. I think tragic is the best, least offensive way I can describe that bewildering behavior.

As others have said, the game is in EA so any feedback is technically valid, not just praise. While I sort of understand where you’re coming from, you make it sound like you have avoided the forums because you don’t like reading opinions you don’t agree with. I think that is a shame.

Also that word ‘toxic’ seems to have entered the public discourse as meaning ‘something one doesn’t agree with’ rather than the actual definition: “very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way”
