I really like Yoshi and I want to believe that he would "do no wrong", but that doesn't mean that I will make excuses for him or blindly defend him either. I am only doing so because it seems the only reasonable route to me.
I know I might receive flak for this and might get mocked in a sense, but it's the wording that is throwing me a little bit. There is a big difference between "feeling" that you have been lied to and genuinely having being lied to. I know Yoshi won't ever read this but I think it's only courtesy to not accuse anyone of anything without true merit; it's very unfair to the man in my opinion.
Not for nothing, but I don't really owe Yoshi-P the benefit of the doubt here. I'm paying him to provide me a service, just like everyone else is. He isnt my friend, I don't -know- him. Sure he seems like an affable guy and is generally respected, but that doesn't mean I owe him any kind of benefit of the doubt. At the end of the day he's a business man who needs to make money for a failing company and his game is one of the only reasons said Company is even in the black currently. Do I think that means they will hold back information from their playerbase so they don't lose people? Absolutely. This game has to be a success for them. There is no other option.
This doesn't even mean I dislike Yoshi-P. I like the guy. I've defended him all over the place, I think his heart is generally in the right place. But that means literally nothing because I like a -persona-. I don't know who he really is. And even my best friends will get called out when they are acting Shady. You want me to treat Yoshi-P better than my actual friends? He's being called out and he deserves it. There are varying degrees of called out from mildly annoyed to extremely angry that they quit the game. All of them are valid.
Sure, it may blow over. I'll stop being mad at my friend who was shady, too. But let them be mad right now.
