Good grief. Is there any other industry out there that insults and hates their consumers more than the gaming industry? I would even go so far as to say an active campaign or war on gamers even? This is why at this point i'm just building a backlog to sustain me and hoping for a glorious industry crash to burn all of this to the ground so it can start over.
The industry has no one to blame but themselves. They strived for years to get into the gaming community. To become their buddies and friends and make the whole industry way to personal. It's a two way street though and now they are forced to listen to criticisms along with all the praise and hype they want to hear. Now they are leveraging their tools (journalists, fanboys, community managers, developers) to try to stymie those critics and discredit them with insults and turning fellow gamers against each other with all this "entitlement" and supporting used is killing developers shit.
I gotta admit though, i'm seeing more of this in other industries but just not like the gaming industry. It used to be simple, consumers have all the power. Why? Because their the ones buying the stuff, they are the ultimate boss of a company. That dynamic has really changed all over though with peoples almost scary integration with consumerism. Like an addiction needing more and more stuff. Anyways consumers still have some power and when they show it like this, in something as simple as a critique of a games ending you get this backlash.
Moral of the story, be good little consumers, buy your 8/10 games new and shut up and love them. Oh and play the goddamn multiplayer and buy the dlc, now thats a good sheep.
