I feel very bad for all the people working at retro studios.

Today, I feel like this game is being astonishingly kicked to the ground and slammed into disappointment, similar to The Phantom Menace, and now they're going to start blaming the writers of the story as the reason why this game sucks. The reason why I'm making this post is because that misinformation is still spreading more rapidly than ever. In fact, it's almost being amped up to eleven, and they're finding a lot of things to blame.

The worst thing about it is that these Retro Studios employees are under NDA from Nintendo itself, so they can't give interviews or go over the real reasons why. In fact, the whole misinformation and anger kills any nuance and joy in Metroid Prime 4.

This misinformation that exists and continues being more popular than the game itself is still profitable and gets even more attention

At this point I feel really bad for the retro studios because of all that work was spent on metroid prime 4 cancelling several projects, being through COVID, and a winter storm, smaller studios helping them out, nearly a decade of spending their blood sweat and tears and investing 100 million dollars into this game, all for it looking to be a massive failure and a ruined franchise, and hard enough to break even and become a flop.

even with all that remaining praise and they somehow sold well, It could honestly enough bring down the entire studio to pieces similar to that of irrational games after releasing Bioshock Infinite which faced similar issues but eventually won several awards and selling over millions of copies worldwide.

but that's my two cents.
