Man that's a lot of controversial opinion confidently framed as settled fact. Stahp

I think I framed it as opinion and unsubstantiated rumor fairly well.

I also think the game WILL get better. Hence me recommending circling back to it.

I disagree. I think it's framed as an undisputable fact - you'll notice that this is my opinion since I preface it with "I think", rather than simply stating: "Your post is an undisputable fact.". Compare it with: "The game is... bad.".

Perhaps you misjudge your ability to frame posts, and that's okay! We all have things in life that we can improve on :>

I think you might need to understand an implicit versus explicit statement of opinion.

If I state something that is reasonably an opinion, which anyone’s judgement of a game is, then I don’t need to make it explicit. Making it explicit simply clutters up communication.

Perhaps you need to improve your ability to be swayed by simple statements and your ability to evaluate what is and isn’t opinion?

"The word is..." is how you preface gossip.
