I agree that the exaggeration went over a few peoples’ heads. The ideas are expressed clearly and the reasons for being upset are explained relatively clearly. There’s no chance a life was actually ruined over this update.
… But what I didn’t expect was that we would get a version of the game that wasn’t even from Testlive (the Stamina had not been changed immediately, etc).

The update in current form is less than appealing to a lot of people in its current state myself included, but maybe (inhales the copium) it will be much better soon?
