This is the world we live in.
It’s actually sad to read some of these comments. Why are people threatened by someone enjoying something differently than they do?
People getting belligerent with the OP because he’s talking about how something he owns fits into his life based on his specific circumstances. What the hell is wrong with you guys? Nobody’s telling you what to do here, so climb back into your holes and rest assured that your way of living is not actually under siege…
“I am writer.”
Everyone has their own set of problems. Yours sounds like a lack of empathy?
This morning, I woke up to a string of headlines declaring that journalist Geoff Keighley had teased a major…
We literally talk about how we don’t care that Peach is kidnapped in this podcast and how a large part of this issue comes down to tradition. Altho, I think you’re being unfair in saying only opinion writers care about this when the question of whether or not Zelda can be a fighting hero is *literally the story of the…

Pretty sure those same gamers would be toxic regardless of how much info they were given.
and i bet a good number of comments on this article will completely justify it’s publication.
A fellow dev of mine works on a really popular (read: top 10 on steam) game, and is on Twitter a lot. Even when he tweets really benign things, the first comments are some variation of “fuck you, fix ur game” or “why are you talking about xyz when you could be doing abc in the game bitch.”

Video game enthusiasts often muse about the secrecy surrounding game development, which is at times treated as if it…
