one of the worst things you can do is not acknowledge someone's existence.
Hey, hating is acknowleding (to a degree)
Besides, I find the apathy some users are exhibiting abut worrisome. If we leave the point that apathy is dangerous in life, although this is about a game we are talking about, being apathic (can't call it any other way really, I say it how I see it) about a game is only to make oneself feel more 'responsible and mature' - I am sorry if I offend anyone here, it is not my intention.
But even IF this is only a game to you me, it is the work of others. Saying that we don't care what the developers do is like saying you don't care what your mayor is doing (sorry if this analogy seems a bit off, again, I see it that way). What a teacher/painter/musician is saying is part of how he is feeling about something. Granted it may not affect our life to that degree, but I take other peoples' works of art seriously (I study art btw), and GT AND Forza are both works of art by definition.
I can't help but feel that if we keep being apathic towards our own hobbies (which, btw, define us to a degree) there is no resort from lousy products and us willing to be satisfied with low quality products. However!
While forze is obviously not a low quality product, it does, to me, have the wrong emotions behind it. And I care. If they were making it for money, than that is a-ok. But if they are making it for money & to beat someone else with low blows and not keeping the right approach about it - then they are wrong to do so. While this product may be top quality, I would rather play a game with a little more values behind it, rather than being better and stepping on others to reach the top.
Sorry for rambling
