The constant negativity is ruining MLB The Show

The "Never Defend, Always Attack" philosophy goes back a long way. One example dates back to the 50's and Scientology and it's founder L Ron Hubbard
"Never defend. Always attack." is a foundational public relations and operational doctrine established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It dictates that whenever the organization faces criticism or scrutiny, it should immediately go on the offensive rather than offering explanations or defending its actions.This doctrine traces back to the early 1950s and was codified in Hubbard's later directives. It operates on the premise that any defense is a sign of weakness, and the best way to handle critics—or "attackers"—is to discredit them
Don't be like Scientology

Not to keep pushing the same point, but I feel like today kind of proved what I was trying to say.
SDS announced they were going to take action on people who abused the exploit, and suddenly a lot of the same people who were saying “I don’t care if I get banned” started freaking out, arguing, and acting like SDS was somehow wrong for enforcing their own rules.
I ended up leaving a few Facebook groups because it was just nonstop fighting. People taking the moral high ground were getting attacked and called names. I even saw people making comments about family members from people’s profile pictures, which is just insane behavior over a video game.
Then on X, I’m seeing SDS employees getting trolled and harassed like they personally ruined someone’s life. And I’m seeing people try to defend what they did by comparing it to things that aren’t even the same as abusing an exploit or glitch.
That’s really the bigger point I was trying to make. Criticism is fine. Disagreeing with SDS is fine. Being frustrated with the game is fine. But the way parts of this community react to everything has gotten completely out of hand.
I don’t know if it’s just this community, gaming in general, social media, or the world right now, but it’s honestly pretty ugly to watch.
You can dislike a decision, dislike the game direction, or be mad about something without harassing employees, attacking other players, or acting like exploiting the game was some noble protest. It’s a baseball video game. Some people really need to take a step back.
It's the world. When you let things go unchecked for so long they get out of hand.

(Probably taking us too far off topic…)
I think it’s the culture we live in…
Instead of “let’s just agree to disagree”, it’s now, “you disagree with me, you’re an idiot”!
And it comes from our leader(s)…..
Not gonna lie. There are a lot of dumb people.
Just like the cheating thing. There are a ton of cheaters in this game. Everyone gets caught up in the discord one but the huge majority are the pitching ones. There are tons of people that actually believe this game is pretty clean. It is far from it. If SDS actually banned everyone using these devices you would see an awful lot of 1000 rated players disappear including streamers if they actually did it. Do I think they will? No but I didn't think they would do anything against people that did the glitch either.
