The Gaming Mindset.
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.

And to be honest, as supporters and consumers, we are entitled to our monies worth, and a fair few games now leave you questioning where the money actually went. Taking Destiny as the obvious example, I didn't expect Bungie to sell out and release a half assed product but they did. I voice that opinion and say that The Dark Below should have been included in the base game and now I'm a self-entitled berk with no common sense? No. On that note, contrary to what you say, a fair few companies aren't in it for the money. Taking CDPROJEKT RED as the obvious example. To say devs are out to rake in as much money as they can is just silly. They have a creative vision and they are out to express exactly that. How would anyone know a game is bad if nobody complains about it? Substance over sales in movies. Substance over sales in music. Substance over sales in GAMES. Once it becomes sales over substance, people justifiably have a problem. [spoiler]if your post is really about pedantic criticisms then you should just delete the entire thread.[/spoiler]
