I see from your stars your a long time member here, and have probably seen a lot of this, I've spent my own fair amount of time on other game forums and have never seen it this bad.
Oh, it's worse because they've increased the number of platforms. When they did that with Oblivion, the number of cheerleaders and trolls jumped by a factor of 10, at least. Now, with still more platforms bringing in more players, it's increased once more.
gamesas will ignore it all, as it did in the past. It no doubt has its expansion already part done, and will leave all the other changes people want to the modding community. They're not stupid enough to try to be a big player in the DLC market; they tried that once. (Ask anybody who was here for early Oblivion what they thought of being charged several US dollars for a suit of horse armor.) They will instead offer patches, and in turn the modding community will fix the several hundred bugs gamesas doesn't fix, and life will go on.
What matters to the company is how much it makes vs how much it spends. That's all. This isn't meant to be derogatory. It's simply a fact of the gaming industry. It provides the kind of concentration of resources that allow for the creation of huge games, such as this one. It also tends to standardize product, push it out as fast as people will tolerate it, and ignore user feedback. Take the good with the bad, and look to small developers utilizing new online distribution media if you want something different. I'm delighted to see Skyrim. I don't like the vanilla game, can understand why some people love it or hate it, and look forward to seeing what other modders change it into.
For now, just ignore the soapbox threads. Your sanity will thank you.
