Yeah, I was actually thinking about. I do feel bad that Eric's art unveiling didn't go over well. But I think as an industry professional he understands that it's not going to all be loud approval and silent disapproval.
Anyway, you're not wrong. There have been some really silly grousing about the changes coming to Malifaux 2.0, from people not privvy to the details their complaining about. However, this is an art preview that has merits people can judge it on. Wait and see? Why? Why would people wait to see if the models are going to be as terrible as they perceive the art to be before speaking out? If they do, it's too late for that opinion to matter. Hell, with the way Wyrd does plastics, it may already be too late.
So, stuff "wait and see" for complaining. Especially since you're not going to apply those standards to the positive reactions.
