Pinging (@
Ferret: and (@
Rhain: to assist with a dispute on the article's lead. While the
previous version (of which the second paragraph I'd extended slightly) I feel is acceptable, albeit perhaps in need of some tweaking,
Asperthrow (
talk) has re-written it so that it is now two paragraphs, on the grounds that the former was poorly written and did not accurately reflect the article. The issue I have is that that the current lead is both too long for what is a relatively short article (based on the guidelines at
MOS:LEADLENGTH), and also is
WP:UNDUE by going into unnecessary detail on certain topics (e.g. the devs rebuking accusations the game is a scam, and listing individually what it was criticized for based on a handful of reviews that are only briefly mentioned). There's also some questionable tone and apparent
synth (namely "inconsistent communication and insubstantial reputation"). It comes across like a desire for every issue about the game to be explictly mentioned in the lead.

It is a desire for every issue in the article to be mentioned in the lede. Considering the size of the Development section, I do not see why the length of my prose is a problem. Almost all of the coverage in reliable sources is about negative aspects of this game which is indisputably a scam. What is your issue with the lede reflecting that? It is not verbose or overly-long; it accurately encapsulates everything that a reader may wish to know about this subject.
