Former Blizzard Director, Jeff Kaplan, has called for players to stop complaining about video games they have no interest in playing. He argued that developers do not listen to accounts being overwhelmingly negative online. His comments were made during a livestreaming session for his new project The Legends of California and quickly spread across social media. Despite these criticisms, some gamers supported Kaplan's stance, with some arguing that criticism should be directed at companies that already create content. The comments sparked a debate in the gaming industry about online criticism, review bombing, and how developers interpret player feedback.
