Why the anger?
What do you feel when you are lied to, deceived, conned, taken advantage of, defrauded, etc., etc.?
Disappointed? That's it ... disappointed?
Ah, but yourself and EAware have very different interpretations of "lie" and "deceive" than we do.
Maybe this will help:

Now go check out all those promotional videos, dev blogs, etc. again.
Do you see it now?
The "other side of the coin" knew EXACTLY what they were doing. (check those definitions again)
I agree that getting mad and attacking them doesn't help, but it is cathartic for some.
So it's about me now, how I felt? What's up with that targeting...
I never felt I was lied to, deceived, conned, taken advantage of, defrauded, etc... Where would you even get the idea? I said I was disappointed that it didn't turn up exactly the way I thought it would (and why would it?), I did have an idea on how the product would turn out to be, though also knowing it wouldn't be true. But I can dream and I love doing that.
But where was that lie? They ain't lying to me with that statement saying "By PC gamers for PC gamers" or any others of theirs, I take it as their opinion and don't go on about it as the ultimate truth. I'd have to play it myself to be fully certain, because you can't never really know. What people say comes from their experience and opinions, that's not a lie just because it doesn't hold true to what you believe. A more clear cut lie would be if I said that I was 14 year old girl...
Well I also kept track of the game and saw that clip and some others when the game was under development way back in the days. You see and hear they say they want to focus on the new consoles, yeah I remember people being concerned not seeing enough PC gameplay back then even. But this still doesn't say they didn't have the PC players in mind.
Dunno where you're going with this, there it seems like they're even being honest on what they were focusing on. Or what?
And if people would feel good about attacking others, what does that say? There has to better ways to let out of that anger than to blame other peoples who just created their own game. That anger is probably built up by something else in real life or so.
And what about those on the receiving end? What could that cause? More anger perhaps? Bad circle it could be...
Edit: Though I see now that this might just go a bit off topic... Heh dunno. I still can't wait for this to be fixed! Cheers.
