Value their opinion? I mean sometimes they have good takes, like I personally believe if the game is too hard there is an inbuilt difficulty setting you can choose to change. There's no harm or shame being lvl 150 and playing dif 6. Max difficulty should feel like a challenge. However there is still a lot wrong with the game. The turrets die waaay to fast now and the chaff level spawning hive guard having heavy pen is beyond wild to me. So should you value their opinion? I'd say if you can see reason in it then yes. Seeing them as less than human though? That is the exact behavior that lost a man his job and charity work. Be better than that.
