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 like how people argue over iPhones and Androids. They think their personal experience is some kind of universal truth when it's really just some mix of personal use case and marketing.

People like being part of a group to attach to their identity. Sports teams. Political parties. Area codes. Schools. Companies. Communities. Gangs. Churches. Game consoles.

But for there to be an "us," there has to be a "them." People care because humans are tribal creatures. Some people just have more restraint than others.
