adj.
1. Having no hope; despairing. See Synonyms at despondent.
2. Offering no hope; bleak.
3. Incurable.
4. Having no possibility of solution; impossible.

It’s a game. Anyone who buys a game expecting something more than a game is setting themselves up for disappointment. It’s also a game that’s provided more content and updates than I personally saw playing games with an actual sub fee. An expansion’s worth of content? No. Flawless, bug free content? No. But quite a bit of content for $0. And certainly nothing that warrants dehumanizing another person over.

Such as, “Are you coming home straight afterwork?” “Basically, yes.” People get up in arms of the dumbest of things, the other keyword quickly forgotten is “free”. Regardless of what the content is and how much of it there is, people don’t have to pay for it.

Part of his job is talking about what he’s doing, and he clearly loves and is enthusiastic about his job. Getting worked up about it is pointless. We’re the ones who have to keep realistic expectations and as a community tend to not do that.

You’re right about how they hint at things and then pull back creating tons of disappointment and drama.
