    Quoted from paul_8788:

    At the end of the day, people can spout whatever opinions they want, however they want. Don't see how they can get all butt hurt though when someone does the same thing about them.

    He represents a business. He's not a couch jockey sharing an opinion about a game. Doesn't matter if he's right or wrong in his opinion, you don't target comments at your customer base, or community where they hang out.

    Shouldn't have to point out the difference. Much respect for Steve the designer, but he needs to grow an extra layer of skin or get Stern marketing to do their job better. Point fingers in the right direction. RGP always a viable option for those that feel Pinside too toxic. I enjoy the banter. Shows that hobbyists care.

    Quoted from iceman44:

    Maybe the lack of video is a big F U from Ritchie to Pinside haters?

    I like to believe Ritchie is bigger than that. I hope it's just an issue they are still working it.

    Quoted from paul_8788:

    Yeah, he works for Stern, and maybe he should have kept his opinion to himself. But he didn't and because he isn't a prefect PR robot and pretending that every post on Pinside is a little pearl of wisdom people get their underwear in a twist. Maybe everyone should grow an extra layer of skin.

    Imagine if he worked for Apple or Microsoft - numerous forums, analyst reviews, media criticism. I see Jonathan Ive and Eddy Cue never keeping their opinion to themselves facing customer criticism.

    Agree to disagree on this one. It's tough to be an athlete, model and game designer - someone always has an opinion about you and your work. Part of the territory though. Along with the accolades comes the criticism. Maybe not fair, but it becomes part of the job. Just like the quote "Never get in a land war in Asia", you "never critique your fan/customer base" or community where they hang.

    The real culprit is the go-to-market campaign - or lack thereof. But back to the thread topic, SR is a terrific designer.
