Since last night, I've seen a lot of strong dissatisfaction and frustration in players' comments - often expressed humorously or ironically, which made me laugh," 

Jest or not, this one statement is irresponsible because this will only serve to encourage bad and toxic behavior and you know that's how immature gamers will take it, as condoning their behavior.

The comment you responded to covered all that. It's possible it's a translation/tone error. No reason to assume face value given the stakes.

If that ends up being not the case, then ok.

No the OP did not. I'm literally saying tone does not matter and even if it was a flippant remark, gamers will take that as approval of their bullshit behavior.

Let's face it, gamers are all too often immature assholes, Westerner, Easterners, wherever.

But whatever, people disagree and that's fine.

Then that would be the gamers' fault, not the producer's. They're not responsible for how their comment may not only be taken out of context but also translated in a disadvantageous way.
