For me, it's the bullshit where no one ever brings up the shitty working conditions or bigotry in the gaming industry, but they will come together and loudly throw a tantrum about the developers not overworking themselves to make their treat 100% what they wanted.
I swear to god, gamers are the most product-brained people on the planet, they can't comprehend the idea of a development team having a vision for a game that doesn't match their own. They pretend that their complaints are "fighting the big multimillion corporation" when really they have no problem with soul-sucking corps that treat their employees like shit as long as the product caters to their specific tastes.
People were madder about Rockstar doing a remake with graphics they don't like than the 100+ work hours they made developers do to complete RD2
They're more annoyed that the Switch doesn't have PS5 Graphics and makes "baby games for Disney adults" than they are that Nintendo of America treats employees like shit
And you know the only reason they give half a shit about Blizzard's sexual harassment problems is that in their eyes Blizzard has been making "sub-par woke garbage" these days. If Fromsoftware was harassing their workers, they wouldn't care.
Instead of addressing the issue that the industry is bad as a whole because of capitalism, they will instead demand you vote with your wallet. Calling you a shill if you like anything from whatever company they have decided they hate at the time while ignoring problems from companies that create things they enjoy. If anyone points out that ethical consumption doesn't exist then you'll be called a hypocrite.
And they can't tell the difference between defending the workers that made a product and a giant corporation, either. It's really gross how they complain about overworked underpaid workers as "lazy devs"
Gamers delenda est. :gamer-gulag:
[end of my giant embarrassing rant]
He's probably even nutter now because the effects of benzoyl abuse can make your brain a bit off from usual for years after. Shoulda just cleaned his room and insisting on quitting cold turkey.
He did quit cold turkey, it almost killed him. He had to do this weird thing at a hospital in Russia where they gave him propofol for a couple of weeks.
If that sounds familiar, it's the drug that quack gave to Micheal Jackson. Then, the quack didn't monitor Micheal's heartbeat because he had to step outside and make 45 minutes of phone calls to his various girlfriends. At some point Micheal's heart stopped - because propofol is a short-term surgical anesthetic, not a sedative - and by the time the quack finished his call and came back in, Micheal was dead as a doornail. Unfortunately the doctors in Russia were better and Peterson survived several weeks under anesthesia while he got un-addicted to benzos.
Dang, that's even more nuts
I think his daughter basically runs his brand now, which is sort of poetic justice but still fucked up because she's also a chud.
