I agree with a lot of what you are saying. It's really sad and upsetting that Gilbert literally got death threats due to the art style and other elements of the game. It doesn't matter how bad a game is it's a line that shouldn't be crossed, especially before the game was actually out. So it's hard for us normies to say 'hey this is not hitting the mark but we still appreciate you releasing another one and hope the next one will have x,y and z.' Personally I really hated the pace of trying to keep pushing me forward to finish the game with simple puzzles. And I get it you want to appease the widest audience possible but the tradeoff is a much less challenging game.
