so, you think its ridiculous for someone to claim a person isn't invested in an aspect of the story so they base there judgement of the situation on that (such as saying they dont' like orcs or play them so think its cool a non-orc warchief is now in charge).. and yet when someone is invested in an aspect of the story they liked to much, that it makes them feel let down and betrayed by the developers when they fuck it up, thats irrelevent? (such as orc fans seeing orcs reduced to cannon fodder bad guys, then then having there place in the horde pissed on).
There are those who take that sense of what we like in the story seriously, its what drew us to the game, our characters, lore characters we like, and what, in many cases, kept us playing. So its not irrelevant for someone who feels pissed off at the developers for changing something so sudden and dramatically, that they feel that way about it.
