I will never understand why gamers get mad at other gamers so intensely for not liking the correct game or system (hexbear.net)

Like bro it's a fucking toy, you would think that it's a religion the way these dingleberries talk.

Every major game company is greedy and terrible, your favorite gamer shit isn't any less mindless consumption-y than the gamer shit that you don't like.

It sucks because the whole industry is shitty and instead of acknowledging that they distract from the real problems facing the industry by squabbling about which souless company is the most souless.

The same kind of people complain when game industry workers try to unionize.

I always assume it's just children on Reddit that act like that... I hope.

It's beyond video games, you see this with music and movies as well. Gamers are just particularly odious. A lot of adult children NEED their choice of treats to be validated by others.

Reminds me of when the last Tool album came out, it topped the charts and kept the Taylor Swift album that came out at the same time off the top spot. The Swifties had a complete meltdown over it, which is silly, but it’s also a fan base of mostly teenagers, not the most emotionally mature group.

However, when it’s a 20 or 30-something screeching that one website gave the new 6th entry in their favorite generic FPS series “only” a 7.5/10, that’s some serious arrested development.
