It may surprise you guys to hear that when something is popular, people will hate it because it is popular!
Strange I know, but it's true.
No one hated on SotC before because it was relatively obscure, more like a cult hit than anything else. Over the years it's been talked about more and more and everyone noticed it and bam - popularity. Thus cometh thy haters.
For example, in 5 years, people will be hating on Xenoblade. It just works like that.
While some people do hate things just for being popular, it's not necessarily the case. Maybe the only people that hunted it down while it was a cult classic were the ones who like that sort of game. Then they go on and on about how awesome it is so their friends (or in this case, fellow B8ers) go grab a copy and play it, but it ends up not being their thing.
