The phrase "love it or lose it" Sounds super stand-off-ish

For their new update newsletter about the new onslaught mode, i get they want feedback, and i like that DE's really pushing for feedback, but the phrasing sounds almost adversarial.

looks like they wanted to rhyme it but failed XD

It is very hard to give feedback on something we barely know anything about... I guess without properly showing us or us playing it there wont be much to talk about.

Maybe it was supposed to be;

 

"Love it or Loath it"

Then maybe they should have just went with something like  "Love it or drop it"  but hey, 'tis fine

The point of that part of the post was that you should give feedback once it's out of course :P

Indeed. It's hilariously ironic the pretense of this topic in the first place.

Pot and kettle comes to mind - or maybe just a "NO U!"

This phrasing really gives me the feeling that if it's not good enough they'll give it the Raid treatment.... I can already see the frustration of the "gimmi challenge to cheese" and other min-maxer players who expected some "end-game".

I read it as "If it turns out to suck and have no redeeming value, we're willing to call it a failure, scrap it, and return to the drawing board" which sounds pretty nice to me.

I didn't qet that from "love it or lose it". I took it to mean that since this gamemode is completely new and highly experimental, its existence will depend pretty heavily on player feedback. Either we love and it stays, or we mostly dislike it and DE removes it to give us something else later. Kinda like that show "Love It or List It", where the show rennovates a family's house and then the family chooses whether to keep their reno'ed house or sell it.

I think maybe you're being a little too defensive.
