People crying about Nintendo Online pricing. First off, it’s for an entire year, not by monthly, so I don’t know how that’s a negative. That’s just an example.

I know its always been somewhat toxic but the gaming discourse has gotten to be ridiculous. It makes it difficult to even discuss an upcoming or newly releaded game because someone will have an intensely negative view of the studio/dev/publisher/IP Owner, etc.
Play games with better communities.
Been playing Vintage Story since before the game had seasons or food decay. The worst thing I normally see is people talking about Minecraft.
Yeah. I can’t keep track of which games I’m not allowed to like.
We all know the gaming industry is doing practices nobody likes. But, these kind of people who call themselves ‘gamers’, are acting like AAA gaming is all we have when we’ve got thousands and thousands of games to play. They’re so cemented on criticizing AAA gaming that they feel it applies to nearly all games available.
There’s a game for everyone now, please go find it and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy. At this point, you’re screaming to everyone to not have fun so we’d be left to hear you complain about what you think is wrong with games today.
This is a pretty bad take. It is the same as saying “I don’t care that these workers are underpaid and overworked - just let me (other people) enjoy the game.” No, bitch. The industry keeps getting worse because people who don’t know or care keep feeding them money. Gaming for many people is an escape from reality, an interactive way for them to escape a rather harsh reality. Morally righteous people can’t stomach when that escape was created or funded by the people they are trying to escape from.
People complain because they are passionate about it. This goes for the entire thread - if you are tired of hearing people bitch about it, don’t just plug your ears. Do something about it or piss off.
Absolutely not.
Clearly, you didn’t read anything else I’ve said, so you fixated and were choosy on what to respond to, than taking account the entirety of what I said.
No where do I believe or think that I don’t care about these workers at all. The thing I’m saying, if you cared to read, is that there are other options that we vote with our wallets by. It does not always have to be about AAA, we leave that battle up to the studios who still bother with it. It’s not ours to fight and quite frankly, it is a losing battle anyways because they’re still existing and not listening enough to people’s criticisms. Only if barely, but barely listening isn’t cutting it.
There’s nothing passionate about going around berating others for enjoying the games they choose to play. That is you, gatekeeping and dictating another’s enjoyment. You just excuse that kind of behavior by calling it being passionate.
