I have no problem with that … but I have seen on many forums a penchant of some to get / play something just to prove a preconceived notion of hating it and then come in and piss all over it. That is also fine, but it seems like a waste of time. If you hate flight sims, why spend $50 and go to a flight-sim centric site to declare that it sucks?
Personally, I've never witnessed someone buying a game just so he could piss all over it.
I've witnessed people who seem to be negative towards a certain game based on a predisposition against those who made it, or other things that I don't agree with.
I tend to be sceptical based on such things - but I try to stay open-minded, which is why I gave something like Fallout 3 a fair shot, and I think it's ok all things considered.
But in the end, I've found that trying to understand or confronting such opinions NEVER result in anything good, and I firmly believe people have a right to piss all over anything they want - as long as they do no actual harm or insult anyone in the process.
Certainly, I've witnessed people taking such things personally, even if it has nothing whatsoever to do with them on such a level.
People hate Bioware? That's fine. Maybe they don't actually hate them, but what they think they're doing to the industry. I can sympathise - though I don't really share such a powerful opposition.
I understand the irritation when faced with negativity over and over, and if I saw something good come from confronting it - I'd agree it might be a good idea. But all it ever does is start the perpetual cycle of negativity and negative responses to that.
However, that's just my opinion and I'll leave it to you
