M4-78 Enhancement Project has a lot of folks on that Subredddit that really dislike it. Yet, I've never had an issue with the complaints - even with the extent I've been involved with the EP.
Whether they are fanboys or incognito Apeiron members, they are taking it way too personally. They'd be better off actually interacting with the community and getting input.
Until we see actual footage of the characters from KOTOR interacting (i.e voiced conversations and quest snippets), Apeiron is just fan art - and not necessarily good fan art at that.
