Why else do you think the same question would be asked repeatedly? The answer was never sufficient.
It always went, "what do you do," "you do this and this," "well yeah obviously but what I meant was..."
And typically the final answer was "gosh you want to know everything about this game, leave some mystery huh, don't you want the sense of discovery?? What if you didn't know there were buildings in the game and then you found a building, wouldn't that be an amazing moment?!" It was always shut down by saying we know enough and the rest is a mystery and that's great because the devs want it to be a mystery. And look how that mystery turned out. The answers to those questions mattered. In the end they gave us a different game entirely.
And yeah,some people genuinely didn't know that you could fly a ship and collect resources and such. But to say the rest weren't asking a deeper question than you want to give them credit for, to say they must've just all been trolling on purpose? Don't paint with such a broad brush. You don't get to play the beleaguered "woe is me, trolls trolled us for years with that question" card. It was always a legitimate question.
Say what you mean then. It was extremely unproductive to present that question in such a disingenous manner and you know it. All you're doing is causing a rise at that point, because you KNOW you're going to get people responding to you as if you were asking it at face value, and then it just causes more confusion as people who actually genuinely asked the question were going to wonder why they get some hostile replies because people couldn't tell for sure with what intentions the question was being asked. This conflict was only proliferated by people like you mudding up the message.
You're being nothing but inflammatory and counterproductive to discussion when presenting those implialcations in such a fashion. It would be much more helpful for everyone if you would just say "game doesnt sound interesting" if that's what you meant. Period.
The game turned out the way it turned out because the devs couldn't deliver on half of what they've said.
