I mean... fair or not, a lot of it is CIG's own doing. They were the ones who over promised and under delivered time and time again. Add their monetization scheme, scummy marketing and open development (but mostly when it suits them) and suddenly there's A LOT of ammo to criticize them.

Don't take me wrong, there's plenty of bad faith and uninformed discussions and reporting as well but this is not just a case of "poor CIG did nothing wrong and everyone hates them for shits and giggles".

Maybe things will improve as the game gets closer to what it was promised as but until then general public has no reason to give them the benefit of a doubt anymore. CIG made sure of that themselves.
