    Same man. People on this forum who can see what’s going on outside of the bread and circus are the minority of the money spending gaming community. Most are just more than happily mildly complain and buy their next distraction from the horrors of life, which at times I don’t blame them.

      Yep, I have a friend group who gets real about talking about the evils in all aspects of society, including gaming. But then we talk about how Blizzard has an incredibly toxic culture of harassment towards women and then I see they’re playing a Blizzard game. Like… Wtf. It’s like gamers take exception towards terrible companies as long as it’s the game we want to play.

    And yet there’s only ever this example.

      because its an iconic symbol that is just as relevant today as it was then, because gamers never change. Every time its the same fucking pattern, game gets released, they buy it, they complain about everything about it, swear they’ll never buy another game from that company again, then when Shit game 2 comes out, they are dropping 400 dollars on premier legendary super tier dick enlargement +3 pre orders, only to start the pattern all over again.

        You have to have selective memory to forget all the times people did vote with their wallets though. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint just about ruined Ubisoft after the good will of Wildlands. Avengers, Justice League, and Redfall were all designed with the assumption that gamers wouldn’t be able to resist playing these major properties with addictive hooks that generate more money, from renowned studios that made hit games, but no one bought them. Need I mention Concord?

        And beyond that, there’s no boycott for GTA6 that I know of. It’s not a sequel to a “shit game”, it’s a sequel in a series that people always love, always review well, and leaves most of their customers satisfied. Of course people are going to pay top dollar for it. It’s not at all surprising.

      My guy we aren’t going to watch every fucking one of you for every fucking game. We know the pattern. The GAMING industry knows the pattern. The only idiots that haven’t figured it out are the gamers themselves.

        It’s a pattern as long as you ignore the examples that break it, and you don’t lend more credibility to whatever follows the phrase, “my guy”.

    Ahhh this takes me back to the Modern Warfail days. Still haven’t touched the series since Black Ops 1 which was the last title to have dedicated servers.

  They aren’t. I know plenty of these people. They are all the same person. Gamers are entitled, lazy, and reactionary.
