Earlier this year, I recall posting a thread to GameFAQs under the name of "YouMayDieToday" (which I have since had terminated). And what a bad idea that was to begin with. We both posted in that topic, but many of the respondents were being pretty arrogant.
One user replied with a snide comment. I recall it sounded something like this...
"You just want zombies in cities forever!"
Says it all, really.
For Resident Evil Village on the PlayStation 5, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Why do people keep defending this terrible direction?" - Page 20.

With their mentality on that site, they act as if people are supposed to just accept that it is Capcom's IP, and that there's no set rules for what the franchise represents, and blah, blah, blah. It's possibly how they feel because they don't like the slower paced early games, and prefer the
Dead Space type games of the era. But whatever their reason is, there ain't no pleasing some folk on the Internet. But to act as if fans that have played the games for decades aren't supposed to talk ill of Capcom, is just dumb.
Of course, that's their opinions. But after we posted ours too, they were implying we were just haters for being critical of everything Capcom did to screw up the series. And of course, maybe these are the same people who allegedly told Capcom that RE8 had to have more RE4 style gameplay, as RE7 had them wetting the bed, when we know it's really because RE4 is the golden boy of the series, so Capcom just wanted to rip off their own game (when they don't copy other games by different developers). Or Capcom has a tendency to select read their feedback.
5000 fans: We love RE7, as it's true horror again.
100 users: RE8 should be like RE4.
Capcom: We hear ya, 100 users.
