Jeff Kaplan is sick of hearing you demonize games you weren't going to play anyway: 'Shut the f**k up. No one cares. We don't need to hear that you weren't into it' (www.pcgamer.com)

He made conversation during a live stream, he didn't put out a public statement lol

Live streams aren't exactly private.

A "public statement" is not any statement made in public

They are also not the only way to communicate with the public.

Either you are missing my point or I'm missing yours.

It's an article about a single comment from a 10-hour stream and "news" outlets and people in this thread are acting like Jeff Kaplan emerged from hibernation to release a statement on signed letterhead complaining about complainers.

No I got your point, I just found it facetious.

Official press releases are not the only way information is conveyed to the public. He knows that. He doesn't go on a live stream to say things and expect people not to hear it. He goes on a live stream for a purpose. Claiming that somehow statements don't count because they're not on a letterhead is absurd.
