So because I didn't call you out when you implied something about me, it's fair to assume it's true? If you say so. Sounds like it's a good way to dig yourself a hole and make a fool out of yourself, but that's just my opinion.

If you understand the frustration, then why blame consumers for not doing more than what would widely be considered reasonable when seeking out information about a game? Even the demo Nintendo released didn't contain this information. I'd reckon almost all of the people that knew about this before release were active members of internet gaming communities, which, believe it or not, represents a minority of gamers.  I'm really not sure how you can possibly say you understand the frustration when realistically, the only way most people were going to find this out was after they bought the game and played it themselves, and that is precisely the scenario the original post covers.

Of course if I have good reason to assume something I will do so until better evidence is provided, that's common sense. I would only be making a fool of myself if I still continued to believe it after said evidence.

So they realize their mistake and learn from it. Making excuses as you are isn't going to help them.

Ahh, so it's cool for you to assume something must be true based on literally nothing other than the fact I didn't bother to point out it's false, even though that's a blatant appeal to ignorance fallacy, and you obviously aren't foolish or making a mistake in doing do. Yet when gamers go out and buy a game expecting it to have a feature that pretty much every other game in that category, including previous games in that series have had, when none of the developer's documentation mentions it, and most of the major review sites don't mention it, meaning if they did their homework they still more than likely would not have know, those gamers have "made a mistake and (should) learn from it".

This is about as textbook of a case of cognitive dissonance as you can get. How about next time you try holding yourself to the standards you hold others and quit wasting everyone else's time? Thanks in advance. I'm out.
