I haven't read the comments, but it's quite sad to imagine posting about a creative milestone on a personal blog, and having people go out of their way to come to it and express their displeasure.

From a YouTube video on this topic: "Ultimately, the reason some people get upset when a series changes isn't because the new game is new, but because the old games get their future cut off. Getting a sequel you don't want closes the door more definitively than creating a new IP. Nobody wants to see the corpse of something they love puppeted around when it could just be laid to rest."

I think this often gets interpreted as "entitlement" on the part of gamers but is really just misdirected grief. I understand where it's coming from, but it seems like perhaps people should process this grief more personally and not lash out.
