A common complaint I see on gaming forums (especially after a new patch) is "Why is team working on X instead of Y?!" as though the people working on Y could switch to X or should be fired or sit around and do nothing until X is fixed. The people doing content creation stuff (e.g. artists, writers, scripting team, voice actors etc) are probably not going to be able to fix the netcode of the game.
(obviously, there is also mismanagement and failing to read your audience, but god damn gamers are the most entitled audience I've encountered in doing any art)(as a gamer etc etc)
I see it too, I tried explaining how it works a few times but the complainers don't give a shit, they want X and they want it yesterday! Even if X is a vague concept that we don't know yet. Frustrating.
It's one reason I prefer a community forum over a community Discord. The forum tends to keep the complaints to a few easy to ignore threads. Meanwhile in the Discord someone asks the same braindead question every 5 minutes.
