Reply to comment by Novel_Source in The Zelda community is the only gaming community to defend such a lazily designed map for a sequel by Prince_Targaryen

I agree that the two aren't mutually exclusive, but that doesn't change the rational inconsistency of feeling strongly enough about it to rant on the internet and then buying the game anyway. One can be well articulated and still be full of rationally inconsistent bs -- look at politics.

Quit it.

The OP clearly loves Zelda and doesn't want to miss out on the next installment. They have a fair gripe with the game, but you saying that they're part of the problem for buying it is unfair.

Gran turismo sport was fucking bullshit, but I still bought it because I love Gran turismo, and I just dealt with the shittiness so that I wouldn't miss out on an installment. They made a lot of money but also heard the complaints and made Gran turismo 7 much much better.

No, I will not quit it.

How I vote with my dollar and intellectual accountability are both important enough to me that I'll miss a thing because I have a gripe with it. I refuse to use Twitch because I have gripes with Amazon. The gaming industry generally isn't about pleasing the player. Like any other corporatized industry, it's about making as much money as it can while offering as little substance as it can. Yeah, we have some gaming studios that are passionate about their craft, but they are subject to publishers who want to rush deadlines and push profits. This is one more example of that. They aren't here to give Zelda fans much. They're here to take Zelda fans' money, and if we don't like what they're giving us, we shouldn't give them our money.
