I used to think this too but...nah, I do think “fandom” as it is used and exists today is inherently toxic. I’m a fan of Final Fantasy, love the games and pretty much buy every new one, but I would hesitate to say I’m in the “Final Fantasy Fandom” because to me that means a much bigger emotional buy-in than I actually…

I see we are to the point now where it’s time to try to rewrite the history of the Xbone and make excuses for why it, once again, was a failure. At this point Microsoft has given up completely on even trying to learn from and correct any past mistakes, they’re not even trying at all anymore to attract new customers…
This is especially impressive considering my fire stick can’t even properly run the Hulu and Twitch apps.
“Activision Blizzard has proven to be an extremely toxic company that has taken advantage of their employees in disgusting ways”
You are not an intelligent person and nobody values what you have to say.
Classic Gamer Brain. All journalists are shills and paid promoters but also only those with a predisposed favorable opinion should review the games I like.
Why’s everyone keep calling this Fall Guys? It’s more like Gourmet Race DX. It’s only four players. I just hope there’s local multiplayer!
The world of social media is so insulated that creative people think that these big studios are just constantly trolling through random Twitters and TikToks to try and find stuff to rip off. Maybe — hear me out on this one — not everyone’s as obsessed with Twitter as people on Twitter seem to think?
This is funny to everyone except for the millions of women, queer, and Black people who live below the Mason Dixon line and lack the ability or resources to move to blue states.

No, let’s not give them exactly what they want.
A few things:
This is my same loop.
Hasn’t the last 6 years of American politics proven how dangerous an emotional, ill tempered, unskilled person can be?
“they’ve been milking that same cow”
Yeah, they honestly could have put a lot less effort in and just skipped out with a lot more money a lot quicker while still technically having fulfilled their requirements, but instead they gave us 3 full fledged campaigns with fresh story, mechanics, and stages. The amount of effort they put toward making each…
My understanding is it's been less "milking the same cow" and more "our KS campaign was successful beyond our wildest dreams so we added a bunch of stretch goals that unexpectedly took years to work through".
Whilst i do agree with you that how angry people get about <stuff> in general is perplexing, this is one particular space where i think it’s different.
When people get ultra angry about some film or casting or w/e it seems out of hand.
But when it’s a technology with no (current) actual benefits, being used purely to…
the only metaworms remaining are the ones all crypto-evangelists have in their brains.
