I am seeing a lot of "sore winners" lately. Here is what I have to say on that:
As for Banjo-Kazooie, it seems many of their fans are “sore winners”. I can understand being hurt by the constant insults by supporters of Minecraft and detractors in general, but there is no need for revenge at this point. You won. You got what you wanted all along. Your dreams have been realized. There is no need to be petty.
Also, keep in mind much of the Minecraft and Steve fans are far younger than many of you. Some of these fans are simply not mature, and to them it was amusing that grown men were obsessing over a relic from 20 years ago. So are you going to prove to them your childishness, or are you simply going to just forget them and appreciate what you gained?
For myself, I experience similar detractors as a strong supporter for Ridley and Roy, especially the latter. I was constantly attacked for wanting a “crappy Marth clone”, “dumb advertisement”, “Fire Marth”. I was always told I was not a real Fire Emblem fan (even though I actually own physical copies of most of the Japan only Fire Emblem titles, and even played through them in Japanese). I was constantly insulted due to the fact I wanted a character that some of the loudest people in the Smash Bubble did not like (mostly because they saw him as an obstacle for their Fire Emblem character of choice getting in). Did I seek revenge or “payback” against those specific users once Roy was actually confirmed to return in Smash 4? No, I was just extremely thankful that a miracle even happened that Roy even ended up being DLC.
Appreciate the miracle that Banjo-Kazooie made it in. When you win, you do not need to make others feel bad just because they were a jerk to you along the way. Just as with Ridley and Roy, it is a miracle Banjo-Kazooie even happened. Their slot easily could have gone to Steve or even Master Chief. Besides, there are plenty of Steve and Minecraft fans who did not do anything to antagonize Banjo supporters.
I hope that is everything that needed to be said about "sore winners".
