Let People Have Hope

Why are some people so cynical? What do you gain from constantly bringing others down? Seriously, help me understand.

I know BioWare has had three failed games. Some of that was their fault, but we also have to consider EA forcing them to develop live-service games and switch to a different engine.

Yes, Veilguard has worst writing, and I'm in the camp that believes it wasn't the Dragon Age game we wanted. But why are people already tearing down Mass Effect 4/5 before we even know what to expect?

The new Mass Effect team has new writers, and EA fired the writers behind Veilguard after the backlash over its writing. I understand being skeptical, especially when all we have is a CGI trailer and very little information about the actual game. But can you express your criticism without being so hostile toward people who still have hope?

I'm not someone who encourages false hope, and I'm not going to pretend BioWare was doing great. But if there's even a tiny chance that Mass Effect can make a comeback, why not let people believe in it? Having hope doesn't make you naive, and it doesn't make you any less of a person.

I've accepted that the BioWare is now gone and that Mass Effect might end up on the shelf for a very long time. But people cope with disappointment differently. Just because you've given up doesn't mean everyone else has to. Let people grieve in their own way, and let those who still have hope hold on to it.
