As I see it, the concern comes from the fact that Bungie never had to prove itself to Halo fans. It was already a celebrated studio with a number of hits under their belt when they released Halo, and the fans accepted their brilliance largely without question. 343i is in entirely a different situation, because Halo 4 is going to be their first full game. They're unproven, and haven't hit their magic spark yet.

I absolutely can understand having concerns with Halo 4, and how 343i have handled the franchise so far. I don't mind that. There definitely is substance there. The only thing I object to is the attitude people have of automatic dismissal. Nobody seems to want to give them a chance to prove themselves. It must be so discouraging working on something, pouring effort to make it as good as they can, only to have people yelling at them about every little thing they do.

That's really the point of Ruined FOREVER. It's not about dismissing people's concerns. It's about mocking their over-the-top negativity and anger.
