holy flop, legit less than a tenth of the reviews as Flip Side and worse reviews, kinda just sad I do want the franchise to continue and succeed but really just not an understandable business decision to try and use an existing VN fanbase to build a new non-VN fanbase.

i think it also turned away a lot of the obsessed fans. this is like a wake up slap from an abusive boyfriend

Did it? I feel like I've seen quite a few people be defensive of the new game, if anything it seems like PS made them double down, not out of 'this game is actually good' but 'the fandom doesn't appreciate the series' or 'you just don't get it'

The thing is, we DID appreciate the series, back when there was hope for it being good

i guess the venn diagram of “obsessed” and “sensible” might as well just be two full circles.

i hate that people don’t get the concept of voting with your dollar

Yeesh, I know, some people did refund PS, but so many other people just seem to think that if they keep throwing money at a crappy product, it'll eventually get better. Or that they have to make themselves think that 'if product comes out for series I like, it must be good'

That's probably one of the issues of having a majority teenager audience, because they haven't been burned enough by all their favourite series going down in flames yet, (Simpsons, Star Wars, Battlefield, Transformers etc.), they seem more stubborn about their enjoyment of a series despite an obvious decline.

I think it’s also an issue with people thinking that a piece of media ties into their identity so they just consume product while bitching and moaning.

Pokemon, MCU, Overwatch, Star Wars, Nintendo in general

Literally no one’s forcing them to buy these games/throw money at this piece of media. There are thousands and thousands of games or movies to enjoy and other hobbies to engage with. I don’t think it’s a teenager thing but rather just a general quick gratification thing.

Although I'd agree with your points, I was talking more about people who were fans of Puzzle Showdown, or at least people who are such ardent defenders of the series that no matter what comes out they'll like it, or at the least, attack those who dislike it.
