Many fans of certain consoles seem to enjoy bashing the others. The amount of troll comments around the web on Switch articles alone is insane. I'm personally not a huge fan of the Xbox brand for a few different reasons, but I'm not going to bash someone for getting a Xbox One if they so choose.

Honest question, but if its true that millions of people saved FE by buying the new games, how is it that the majority is bashed for their opinion?
I think some of the perceived problem is the casual audience that it brought to the series; I find this silly, to be honest, since there are ways to adjust the difficulty and to turn permadeath on and off. Some others seem bothered about the extras that the series has added and how they've (ahem) been censored.
I'm relatively new to FE, with Awakening being my first game in the series after I tried the excellent demo. I enjoyed the game enough that it got me interested in the older entries; to date I've also finished Shadow Dragon and FE7/Blazing Blade. I own other games in the series in some form that I haven't gotten around to playing yet.
