There's a certain sort of gamer chud who malds very loudly and publicly any time a game they're not interested in has the audacity to publicly exist at them personally, and when those games are uninspired live service games in heavily ossified genres with strong established competition already it's like blood in the water for them because they get the small joy of some people online agreeing with them that it doesn't look particularly good.
It makes me think of how g@mers never complain about working conditions, crunch, or the downward forces of capital on games but get pissed off when a character has pronouns.
A game got made in the material conditions you seem to be okay with, what did you expect?
tbh to me this one doesn’t have the chud stank on it, it reads more like like a giant middle finger at game studio CEOs from anyone who plays games for just pushing out more live service slop. Is it a fair punching bag idk, but most of the reviews are normies being like “it’s pretty boring” or earnest reviews citing things like performance and the need for kernel access or just general design decisions which are all completely valid criticisms. is a lot of it crass or written to also be a meme, yes but i mean it is gamers we're talking about its their style
It’s not a controversy it’s everyone throwing tomatoes at the industry
is the game woke?
