Either it be Miyamoto and certain things he's done such as Paper Mario and Star Fox, Sakurai's decisions with Smash, Yoshi-P with his mindset on how an MMORPG should work in modern times, and other prominent devs and lesser known ones it all comes to a similar point.
There are a lot of individuals who are not merely sharing distaste for these devs but absolute hatred, considering them idiots who should be fired or never work on a game again and it's something I've noticed throughout my time in gaming communities for the past decade or so and I fail to understand why. Like yes, people can be childish, but to this extent?
It feels like sometimes people are so selfish that if a game developer isn't doing exactly what they want, they will hate them and wish them misfortune. This kind of toxic behavior needs to be called out and improved upon and I feel it is quite an issue in all gaming communities at this point.
-edit-
tl;dr
I'm referring specifically to people who want developers to be fired or something bad happen to them, or bash them in inappropriate ways because they changed something about the gameplay in a patch or sequel.
