Feargus Urquhart interview at GameSpot

I have nothing against Feargus, it's just comments like that are irritating since it's such an over-reaction. Here's the short version of where that line of thinking comes from:

Dev: Here's my great idea!
Fan 1: That idea isn't so great, and I don't think it works with the game.
Fan 2: That sounds ok.
Fan 3: I don't like that idea, why don't you just do it like the original game did?
Fan 4: Nice, can you give us more details?
Fan 5: I would do it this way instead of the way you did it.
Dev: Jesus, forget it, you guys tear down everything and nothing we can do will make you happy.

Take Fallout 2. There are people who have issues with parts of the game, some who seriously dislike most aspects of the game when compared to Fallout 1, some who think the story was weaker than the first but was funner overall, and some who don't care about anything besides the fact that they enjoyed it. The majority of people think Fallout 2 is an extremely fun game and one of the best RPG's ever made though, so what exactly is Feargus talking about when he says it's impossible to make the Fallout fans happy? We aren't one homogenous group with one opinion, and you'll never please everyone no matter what you do - yet he makes an stupid statement which lumps everyone into one group and assigns them one single viewpoint. If he wants to say "Nothing anyone can do will please some of the people who post news at NMA, DAC and RPGCodex", then ok, we sort of know what he's talking about at least - but he's not doing that, he's making a blanket statement based on his reaction to a handful of people, and that's just idiotic.

Btw, I got flamed by a guy on the internet once so the whole internet is a bunch of stupid assholes. lol.

I should print this and send a thousand copies to Fergus, i hate these generalizations too, if there´s something fallout fans don`t have is sheep mentality.
