Actually, I doubt 'Don't play/watch/eat/etc' could be applied to most posts in this topic, as that only applies to people who complain about something prior to actually experiencing the thing. Most Like/Hate posts, in my experience, regard a 'hindsight' evaluation; a complaint/praise occurring after something has been experienced.
Fundamentally, I'm criticizing something in Maruset's post that I think is irrational, and nevertheless pervades the gaming community: an absurd sense of entitlement. No one is being forced to play these games. Personally, I'm interested in seeing what Bethesda will bring to the table for an MMO. They certainly have the resources to make something brilliant, and the TES lore is fascinating in itself. If you don't find this interesting, that's perfectly fine, but it seems to be a strange foundation for complaining about it. You aren't entitled to have everything Bethesda releases tailor-made to your personal preference. To complain about a to-be release when you haven't experienced it (and apparently have no intent on experiencing it) is absurd.
