Here is one side of the battle:

https://www.ign.com/videos/baldurs-gate-3-is-causing-some-developers-to-panic

Essentially "why shouldn't we have nice games we all enjoy?"

Here is the other side:

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/yelling-is-not-journalism

Essentially "by telling off devs when the make something you don't like, you are harassing them."

This debate has to do with an incendiary tweet saying that Baldur's gate 3 is not representative of what players should expect from RPGs. The IGN guy, Destin Legarie, says, why shouldn't gamers want good games? Another hot take. Brandon Sheffield, (is he working on anything?) then chimes in with an article titled "Yelling is not journalism." The hot takes won't stop coming. Though I can't find a way in which Destin was yelling. He seemed pretty calm and calculated in his video.

But just to be clear, I don't think any of this whole thing, including this post, is "journalism." Furthermore, is the guy who made the tweet that started this battle gonna be upset for getting tons of views and visibility? Usually people posting on twitter kind of want their posts to get seen and discussed.

In conclusion:

"Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Since the beginning of your life, since the beginning of the Party, since the beginning of history, the war has continued without a break, always the same war."
