Lately, gamers have gotten this strange delusion that they are "entitled".
That a game has to be perfect in order to be worth their time.
That tiny minute details can make a game terrible.
It's unbelievable how much people complain over really dumb things and spout the idea that unless a game fell directly from Jesus Christ's behaloed ass crack, It's bad and should be violently complained over.
The worst part is, they try to make it sound like the company's fault.
As if they have some sort of responsibility to the consumers.
Devs and companies are only out to make MONEY.
Gaming is an INDUSTRY that currently rivals other major industries such as Major League Sports and Cinema.
OF COURSE they're gonna be greedy bastards and demand as much money as they can fron you. We see that all the time in other major media.
Why do you think the Hunger Games Mockingjay was divided into 2 parts?
Why do you think TV is clogged with ads and endorsements?
This DOESN'T however mean you have to obey their agressive marketing.
If you don't like the business practices in current marketing, you have one major power as a consumer.
You reserve the right NOT TO GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.
Rather than whining about it all over 4chan, just don't buy the game.
If it really is THAT bad people won't buy it and use up their money on it.
This will force the company to increase the quality of their releases and improve.
(Unless it's EA or Sega, then you're just boned)
The point is, the world doesn't revolve around you and you don't revolve around the world.
We need to remember the "Game" in the word Videogame.
(I am aware that I am also bitching)
(...about bitching.)
(Bitchception.)
(Bitch.)
Edit: This isn't to say that all companies don't care about their fans, it just shouldn't even be worth your time to complain that big name companies are being greedy.
Especially when they've been that way the whole time.
It should be expected and ignored if it becomes a hindrance.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING INSTEAD OF A SELF ENTITLED DOUCHEBAG!!! totally agree on ur post dude, cant believe some pricks are so damn judgy on games, and i got 2 examples. Example 1: Darksiders 1 and 2 or the "series", so, darksiders 1 was dubbed a god of war clone back in its day and was not sold all that well since graphic whores couldnt get over the fact that it has its own art style, now darksiders 2, ill admit the game wasnt marketed too well and the word about this game didnt spread too much, but what i heared from the people that saw it and didnt buy it, i heared stuff like "oh a god of war clone but now with rpg elements, i see they didnt use another engine to make it look more realistic, im not buying this piece of sh!t." And stuff like that, guess what dumbasses? I bought it, passed it twice, played nearly 140 hours, tried to platinum it, and is now in my top 5 games of all time. Now, i understand its not everyones cup of tea, but why spread the word that its a bad game souly on the fact that it has its own art style that they dont like? I asked a few friends if they had heared about it and they replied with; "darksiders2? I heared it was a bad game from a few other people and that it looked terrible." Keep in mind i suggested it to my friends who LOVE good rpg games. :\ i told them to play it and that whatever bad thing they heared was bullsh!t, so they did, and fvcking loved it. Example 2: the borderlands series. Well, what can i say. People mocked it for having its own art style too, i also understand it aint everyones cup of tea. I also heared people saying it was bad since the game looked "old" with its graphics.... smh... the only legit reason i would agree for people bashing the series is because some games are broken when it comes to exploits and some mechanics not working right. At least it sold well and didnt kill its company like darksider 2 did, RIP THQ, u were a good team of devs.
