!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Their existence doesn't negate the people who enjoyed Minecraft. You basically said "the people who bought a hyper realistic sim expected hyper realism". Yes, a tautology is a tautology.
Again, plenty of people find non hyper realistic graphics satisfying. An entire Indie catalogue proves this. Games like Lethal Company or Among Us or Terraria or Stardew Valley are huge hits with pixel graphics or graphics from 1995.
Your argument is boiling down to "well someone will complain, so might as well not even try". It's very cynical and defeatist. Acting like hype against Arma means no one else enjoyed anything. You take too much from other people's opinions. Enjoy what you enjoy. Stop basing your opinions on what others on the Internet say.
That's not it at all. You were talking about immersion and I'm just pointing out that some people see the environment as more important than the core gameplay mechanics. That doesn't invalidate people who enjoy Minecraft. And yeah the problem is big game companies are listening to those gamers who are basically the squeaky wheel.
