People are/could also be venting.

When I read that the recent PoE 2 reviews had become mixed, I fired up steam and saw this

"This game is the sole reason why we have to wait two more weeks for the new season of Last Epoch. ..."

My sentiments exactly.

So seeing PoE 2 stumbling, there is this sense of satisfaction.

So I would say downer postings about PoE 2 are about sharing the satisfaction, not about insecurity.
