> Gamers are the most entitled consumer group I've ever seen. It's astounding. Someone wants to create something, and there's just so much hate and negativity on something that people didn't even pay for.
I sometimes end up on Steam and the like when I search for "some-game pass level-I-find-difficult", or "some-game Linux". Almost every single thread I've seen there starts with someone asking a fairly reasonable question ("I'm having trouble with X, any tips?", "Are the developers planning to release this game on Linux? Thanks!") and quickly devolving in to a complete shitshow ("you're a lazy fake gamer if you can't pass X, it's so easy!", "lol Linux only for autistic nerds").
To say I'm not a fan of the "gamer community" is an understatement. I'm sure the majority of people who play games are nice folks, but the online spaces are dominates by obnoxious loudmouths more than any other community I've seen.
Now, I have to admit I'm also not wildly impressed by the art style of the new MI game, but you know, it's Ron's game; I can take it or leave it... (and since I'm fairly sure the writing will be as good as the earlier games I don't even mind all that much, as long as it doesn't have the horrendous controls from the 4th and 5th games I'll be happy, furthermore, I'd rather people try something new instead of merely regurgitating what was done 30 years ago, even if I'm personally not a huge fan of it).
