Ordinary people just trying to live their lives hate this one simple trick.

If titles are anything to go by, murderizing an absolute shitzillion of people makes monarchs pretty great.
Not at all! Remember, imagination knows no bounds. You can continue making stuff up with no basis in fact pretty much forever.
Please, lecture me more about what my motivations are. Of the two of us, you're clearly the expert on that topic. I'm dying to hear more.
That's also something I was told in response to my skepticism during NMS' pre-release hype phase, and it's a complete misunderstanding of what's going on here. I'm not trying to stop people from being happy, on the contrary, I'm trying to help them avoid disappointment by getting them to stop huffing hopium in industrial quantities. But they don't wanna stop.
It seems that you need a refresher. I suggest you rewatch those original pre-release trailers and then try playing the game to see if it looks anything like that. I did that a few months ago, and spoiler alert, it did not. Continued support is of course praiseworthy, but it wouldn't have been necessary if Hello Games had actually kept their promises to begin with. It boggles my mind that gamers so vehemently defend a company that took a decade longer than it should have to deliver some (not all!) of what was promised and also wasted a bunch of time and resources on bloating the game with stuff that was never mentioned and that nobody asked for. Gotta be some form of sunk cost fallacy or Stockholm syndrome or something...
Needless to say, I disagree with you that there's little reason to believe this will be the same. On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that. Due to my skepticism, I was talked down to by people excited by the trailers back then, just like I'm being talked down to by you now. Vindication felt very sweet first time around, so I'm looking forward to round two.
I don't see why the shareholders wouldn't want his head on a pike as well.
The fact that the OpenBSD logo has to include its name spelled out really tells you everything you need to know, doesn't it.
