"I'm sure every song they recorded was done with love and commitment to the art"

I don't think theres anyone I despise as much as Pitchford. Whenever he comes on my feed it seems as if he does something to make me dislike him more.
Also the Beatles were garbage so his comparison is apt.

Your welcome to your personal opinions of course but the Beatles were obviously both popular and commercially successful.

Anyone involved in commercial art would love to sell that many units.
Some people love to say like "the Beatles were trash" or "overrated" but I'm always like by what metric? They're commercially and critically acclaimed. Why would anyone else care about one random nobody's opinion? Especially one that isn't showing any work for how they came to it.
"I don't like it" =/= "it's bad" is a distinction many people don't respect.
I think an individual opinion can matter, even k the face of commercial success
But here's the thing - "I don't like it" doesn't cut it. If you can't tell me why you don't like the beetles, your opinion is less than worthless
Personally, I think the beetles were great, and I think rush of rain was too. It was the first rouglike platformer shooter I've ever heard of... The beetles consistently pushed boundaries, doing it once doesn't put you on their level
On the other hand, the beetles were able to to that because no one was there to tell them no. I agree with the sentiment - games are art. I'd happily overlook a dozen failures for each success
