While that was shitty, that's hardly the only reason. It mainly has to do with them leaving the AAA development space and keeping all of their core IPs to whore out to Pachinko machines and mobile apps. People would react the same way if Nintendo dropped all 3D/2D Mario platformers and focused on Mario Run sequels from now on, just cause it makes them more money. Or teased a new Zelda near the release of the Switch 2, only for it to turn out to be for a slot machine. Or Sony dropped Uncharted years ago to make Temple Run Clones. And so on.
