I think what annoyed a fair number of people is that the Primal Rage 2 stuff ended up hijacking the 20th Anniversary coverage, so instead of focusing on what MAME had been doing for 20 years, or what MAME was actually doing now, half the things covering the 20th focused on something MAME wasn't doing at all.
Which was probably more bad timing than anything else.
