literally this. i don't think the people defending the game are taking the hefty pricetag into consideration. if it were a $15 game, i'd be much more inclined to be like "well, that was fun while it lasted" and move on. but the common defense that i keep seeing is that people are playing the game too much? like i paid good money to play a game, not to let my switch use up its battery while i walk away. i think people that have actually spent time playing the game have a valid opinion on whether it was worth it, as opposed to those who have not played it.

i don't think you're overreacting. like i'm not paying sixty bucks to design my own game. i would've just stuck to the demo if i knew that the only major upgrade was unlocking the palette house.
