Like you thought the company was deliberately deafening themselves to fan input and did something that completely ignored what people were telling them?

activision-blizzard - everything. just everything.
pokemon company - always seems to remove some fan-favorite features with every new game
star wars sequels
any netflix-style live action of something (cowboy bebop lololol)

tbh i don't really care if i don't get everything i want, because that's never going to happen anyway. what i notice is when an incredibly disproportionate number of the fanbase is upset about something and stays that way. anything that i can't fathom the thought process of or figure out what crowd you're trying to appease is a big red flag.

Star Wars Sequels. They went in without a plan and just winged it and it clearly shows. Ended up a boring shitty mess with a mary sue for the lead. 7 was a flashy worse new hope, 8 was boring and pointless, and 9 was just fucking dumb. I don't know why they had to get a hard on for planet killing weapons and that being the only thing they can think of, but it's fucking boring. I hate starkiller base and them somehow shrinking death star guns down to ship size in 9 was fucking awful.

I could've forgiven episode 7 if 8 and 9 had gone somewhere interesting, but they didn't. I'd rather watch the prequels any day of the week than the sequels. Thankfully the stuff they've done outside of the sequels has been good.

What are some times you didn't feel respected/appreciated as a fan?

These days, pretty much all the time, for nearly every franchise or form of media I've ever loved.

It's essentially starting to feel like an inevitable case of "You either die the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Or in this scenario, more like "Your franchise/IP either dies after a few good years, or lives long enough to turn into cynical exploitative shit."

exploitative


You mean they exploit the followers they have gained over the years and/or during a period of great success, then shamelessly pander to their nostalgia, all in the name of profit?

Master Duel Exists now so that doesn't matter.
The only problem is the card list is a year out of date and it uses a nonsensical banlist.

list too long for this character cap

pokemon have been annoying me especially as of late though, i can understand franchises doing new things and failing, but you're barely doing anything new, star wars can't repeat the same stuff they have to try to innovate, you can, you have a winning formula, you had great concepts, you then willingly dropped them for worse concepts, ruining games out of greed is one thing and also common nowdays, but the last few pokemon games sucked regardless of the greediness

CyberConnect releasing the Xobox version of NUNS4 with nonfunctional online. It took weeks to get patched and it still didn't work. As far as I can remember, not even a statement was released. I don't know if they eventually fixed it, but I haven't bought a CC game since.

Any time Gary Bettman says he is doing something to "grow the game" like how he has consistently tried to remove NHL games from public broadcasters in favour of premium cable channels. How does it "grow the game" to remove games from a public broadcaster and put the games on premium station, Gary? It doesn't, it's pure greed.

Actually pretty much all professional sports, the owners and the league have a narrative and season "champion" all picked out before the season starts; us rubes just watch and hope the narrative swings our way.

And then there has been the push from (*checks notes*) conservative politicians (so much for family values, I guess they meant cosa nostra) to open up sports betting and expand legalized gambling in general.

... Yeah, this. I actually really liked the Wii U but they didn't give it any support at all and it was super frustrating.
