So, there's three things here that are worth mentioning, I think.
Firstly, yes, harassment of any individual is stupid and childish and absolutely uncalled for, and it happens everywhere. Do not, for any reason, make the mistake of thinking this is limited to the Metroid Community, or that all communities are mostly comprised of these people. It's not that fans suck, it's that PEOPLE suck, and that's true everywhere.
Secondly, while I highly respect Mr. Wikan's opinion, I'm not sure where his opinion fits into the Prime 4 timeline. Whoever made the articles talking about his Facebook comment, whether they asked him directly or not, just wanted something to stir the pot and get clicks, and that's exactly what happened.
Thirdly, do y'all not remember when we were told it would be impossible to get a Skyward Sword HD because it was impossible to play the game without motion control input from the motion + add-on? And now look, we're getting a port.
People, cool down, chill out, stop bickering at each other over stupid articles, and leave Mr. Wikan alone.
