There is a third option and most big companies do it. Aka, hire professional community managers, people who can interract in a professional manner and are also not emotionally invested to the project.

Some players seem to be damn determined to be angry and alienated no matter what you do, so fuck it. Cut us off. I’d love to talk to a developer behind Horizon Zero Dawn, but not at the cost of them getting death threats and harassment towards their families over a video game. Fuck that.
