I wasn't going to jump in and say this, being a newbie and all...

I agree with most of what you're saying here. I think feedback should be constructive and positive, etc.

One thing I think many devs/publishers do wrong has more to do with communication than anything else.

As an example, last week this forum was overflowing with complaints, flaming, bashing and discussion about FSAA and resolution problems. The developers (much to their credit) simply made a quick statement that they were aware of these problems and hoped to correct them in the next patch. As a result, most of the destructive banter on this topic has subsided.

I'm a game developer myself so I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of a tirade. It's no fun at all! However, I've found that a little communication goes a long way.

In the face of silence, the community is left to speculate...and this is where things often go south.
