A couple years ago I have stopped paying attention to any strongly voiced “opinions” from the gaming subreddits. Well I try to not pay attention it’s fucking hard with the noise levels.
Minecraft, Ark, Steamdeck, whatever, wherever - people are complaining all the time for any reason they can come up with. They’re actively going out of their ways to find the worst point of view they can look at things from. Everything is bad, should have be done differently, pointless, not what “we” need. A proof of bad faith from the dev/publisher/provider. Mojang are clueless dipwits that are actively hurting the community, Wildcard is the devil impersonated actively making a bad game to empty your bank account, Valve has suddenly stopped making sense and you should break your SD with a hammer.
It’s not even entitlement it’s pure negativity. It’s not criticism it’s pure negativity. It’s a knee-jerk reaction: at the smallest hints of any announcement the doomsayers embark on their unending and pointless crusade trying to undermine everything.
It’s always been the case - since the Internet exists there are a lot of negative voice and catastrophizing - but something changed in the last couple years where it’s louder and faster and take over more of the space on subreddit. It’s actually hard to find a place to discuss these changes objectively.
Nothing is all black or all white, I’m not for toxic positivity either, there are some valid critisism and discussions to have. But god damn the doomsayers are fucking loud.
