We were promised a gritty war shooter.
We were promised that this is not COD, this is not Fortnite, and the skins would be tasteful.
Crossovers with top gun = awesome, that was a war movie about war and was a great way to introduce carriers into the game. (even though you dropped the ball with spawn camping but I will digress)
Skins that glow because one time fortnite did that and made a lot of money = Sell out, disgrace, and they need to know they messed up.
Make the backlash to this bigger than the response to the game itself and just maybe the next AAA dev thinks twice before destroying the quality of their game just to sell a few skins to tweens.
Steam reviews changing wildly will usually get a few articles breaking down players disappointments which if far more likely to get back to devs than us crying on reddit.
