I'm not saying they should expect sympathy, and they shouldn't expect understanding, but we should be understanding for our own sakes.

No, it is not reasonable to expect the consumer to be understanding when the industry rarely reciprocates without its hand being forced in the form of money.

Look at LA Noire - a successful game that killed the studio that made it, because they had interesting concepts and no project management.

There are many successful projects that fail to sell and many terrible products that manage to sell, singular examples don't really mean anything and that ignores all context. The truth often lies somewhere in the middle and many gamers ARE industry members which is something you've ignored. It's fine to criticize the industry and the consumers inability to create Call of Battlefield 4 doesn't negate that.

If you want to argue about the finer points with ASeven then go nuts, I'm not really interested. I'm just pointing out that playing the sympathy and "they know best" cards don't really fly.
