I get that your job is hard. Most jobs are hard. But when people are paying good money for a product and get a pile of poo or 1/4 of what is expected, people are going to get mad.
Destiny 1 LOVED to recycle crap that you saw 1203801238 times. NEW STRIKE COMING....wait this looks familiar....it's the same damn strike but BACKWARDS.
Yeah, you get the hint. You take the rage people are already feeling toward 2 due to the devs taking so much of what people loved in 1 and throwing it out the window and keep pushing it for the expansions.

Most jobs are hard, yeah it is. But do you get hated to death by hundreds of thousands just because you did what your job was? Even though you couldn't do anything than just do what your bosses/managers told you to do? Devs don't always have a free-pass to put in all the creativity and content they want. Think about it.

I do actually. I work in database and development side of software. If a client wants something NOW, even if i know realistically it isn't possible, i still catch endless crap until it's finished. Most jobs are like this. Heck I can even say retail where the "customer is always right" is going to catch endless crap even though the cashier isn't the one who hand made the shirt etc. On the game development side, I do feel bad for them. They probably have fantastic ideas for the direction of the game that would do wonders for the playerbase, but the people at the top make the decisions and throw out everything because they want to. This can be applied at pretty much any profession though.

And all I'm saying is people should be aware of who they're actually judging and that it might be wrongly. Oh and btw that's a great job you're doing, databases never have been my strength, but they're still fascinating over and over again.
