Despite how loud they are, I'm pretty sure the "RWTP or nuthin'" and the "TB or nuthin'" segments of the gaming population are actually pretty low.
This is usually the case AFAICT. Even when forums in general were much more of a thing than they are today, the people who you'd see on forums were only a small subset of gamers overall and typically weren't that representative of what the majority actually want. It seems that as often as not, when studios have given the loudest voices what they want it's come back to bite them so most seem to approach things with some caution and solicit opinions from a much broader range of sources.
