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.

You already mentioned this, but I feel like a big part of this is because a lot of people getting into really heated gaming discussions are kids. It's easy to go crazy about treats when your biggest problem in life is homework.

Most of the adults I know can still be passionate about media, but also don't mind if you say "it's not really my thing." Funkopop adults do exist, but they're over-represented on reddit, you don't run into those people IRL very often.
