It's especially funny because the same interview that's the primary source for most of the hate has Miyamoto as thinking Sticker Star's mechanics were conceptually boring and IS going with them anyway.I wholeheartedly sympathize with the people who want a return to the classic Paper Mario roots, I truly do. But the fact that the fan base has pretty deviously perpetuated this "Miyamoto Myth" for 8 years despite it being easy to fact check his actual comments about the game and the way IS chose to interpret them makes it hard for me not to consider that large swathes of this series' fan base are pretty irrational to a fault.
(Disclaimer: This obviously shouldn't have to be said but if you are someone who dislikes the current direction without having to make conspiracy theories about Miyamoto then this doesn't apply to you)
