I know it's taste is subjective and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However there are certain things that is just clearly better, you don't go around saying a 5 year old drawing is better than monlisa just because taste is subjective.

    I’ve been a loyal fan watching for years, I came to trust you and what you stand for, and this is what I get in return. I feel sick, I feel betrayed, I feel like I don’t know what to believe anymore.
    In spite of all of that, I guess I really can’t hold it against you and I can’t blame you, I understand that people change after they have kids, but I just really never thought I’d see the day when Super Mario Bros. 2 didn’t win game of the year.

    Turns out a lot of my friends also started playing SF6 because of the modern control.
    Now that I’ve spend a fair amount of time enjoying SF6, I may even start to learn the classic control. Or maybe I won’t, who knows.
    To me, SF6 is a revolutionary game. Great work Capcom!
