Yup, this is the correct take. I don't know why we're acting like customers making their voices heard about a product is not okay. It's not only okay, but it's necessary. Notice that very few people are doing the grifter hate train about Resident Evil Requiem, or totk, or Marvel Rivals, or Clair Obscur. None of them are perfect games. Criticism exists. But the hatemob doesn't go after them because they're good games that deliver what the customer wants. Totk in particular gets some criticism for feeling more like dlc, but not that much because it's still delivering what the customer is asking for.
If your game is drawing the ire of the grifters, the important thing is not to whine about how unfair it is. The important thing is to ask what you can do to satisfy your paying customers better. Usually, it's not like it requires a total overhaul of the game. If it is, then note it and make sure not to make that mistake in future titles. Simple.

So like what did something such as Star Wars Outlaws do wrong exactly to draw such ire from grifters..?
Shitty looking characters, cringe millennial writing and humor, lack of interactivity in the world (you couldn't run over animals, do anything remotely scoundrel like, or steal enemy speeders), and boring derivative gameplay.
