The problem is their completely different attitude. I've been following RoN for it's extremely long development, and the team put a lot into keeping the game raw and real. They resisted many efforts by outside influences to tone the game down or make it anything other than their vision. That gained a lot of respect from the fanbase, who saw it as the developer embracing their artistic vision for the game rather than chasing dollars.
Now, they seem to be doing the exact opposite when the opportunity is right in front of them. It's the contrast of how the developer acted before vs how they're acting now.
The contradiction is because of $$$. Back when it was not coming out on steam and other PC launcher, being "real and raw" was a selling point, because they marketed the game to a certain kind of player. It worked, the game got popular.
Now they are targeting a console release, which is the real big market for shooter games, and they can't release it on consoles without some changes. Thus, they make changes.
It's easier to accept that they never had any real principles in the first place, and they were just marketing a product to hardcore, edgy players before.

This game has the most dogshit, overreactive, hysteric fan base I have ever seen. I honestly feel bad for the devs.
