I think the point is that non-supporters have little clout when it comes to the more demanding complaints about the game. Armchair quarterbacking has a place in many arenas - sports fandom, as one example - but even in those places, the constant whiners are generally more noise than adding anything interesting to the conversation. At least for sports, fandom is directly related to investments: tickets, paraphernalia, cable TV deals, etc. So, there is a general interest at stake which can affect income+profitability."You can't criticize somebody if you don't support him"
Dumbest statement ever !
In the case of funded game developers, the only sources of income are typically their patrons or purchasers. So, more strident demands and complaints from non-supporters becomes the weakest form of armchair quarterbacking, IMHO.
