Yeah, it's impossible to deny, there are a LOT of really stupid, crappy people who play video-games. It's such idiotic logic, the idea that lower tier digital games are somehow taking away from top tier AAA releases. I see that a lot and it's just mind-numbing. Someone will post about an digital game coming out and down in the comments will be replies like, "OMG not another indie, they're ruining the PS4." If it were me, I'd ban those people from commenting for life, simply for being irredeemably stupid.
Still, good to see that they're learning some things from this. That's how business goes, there are always things to learn when something doesn't go perfectly. If you can survive, then you can make changes next time.
Finally, of course, many small budget games have done very well, even with a lot of negative comments. That advice they were given is spot on. Sometimes that vocal majority of AAA-only jackasses that trash anything without a massive budget doesn't really mean a lot in the end.
