So people get toxic when you advertise misleadingly? Who'da thunk it.

People do turn into nutjobs about games, but also, with only their word for the toxicity and no word at all about what they mean by it, it's hard to have an opinion.

Also, a related "article" has this gem:

... doesn’t appear to be an MMO after all but an extraction shooter. This goes against what previous teasers shown by developer Fntastic alluded to and clearly describes on the game’s Steam store page and official website.

Is this terribly broken English or am I just having a minor stroke?

I see that they used the wrong tense for "described", but that could be a typo. Other than that it seems grammatical to me. I guess "alluded to" and "described" are redundant, but that's more a stylistic defect than an actual error imo.

Is it the wrong tense? Did they change it just before release, or does it still claim to be an MMO?
