How are they giving gamers a bad name? Even assuming they're wrong, how does that work? They give gamers a bad name because they got a statistic wrong? Makes no fucking sense.
They're gatekeeping gaming and calling people who don't interact with games the way they do morons. It's childish and, whether it's wrong or not, rude. The upvotes are what gives gamers a bad name, though, not his statement.
They just called the MAJORITY of the video game buying population “fucking morons”, and “nOt ReAl GaMeRs” because they have a different opinion to them, even though that opinion is the overwhelmingly popular opinion.
You don’t see how that gives “gamers” a bad name? Gatekeeping “gamers” to the tiny minority of people who buy physical games, don’t buy the biggest and most played games, and calling everyone else a fucking moron?
Ahahah!
No, no... you can't read that well, can you?
Try again buddy, go ... slower this time, understand how qualified statements work, and keep in mind the entire context of what I said.
You've concluded that I said a whole bunch of things that I did not say.
Apparently I've triggered you quite seriously... I wasn't intending to, but uh... yeah, try again, try to read the words that I actually said.
If your first rebuttal has you calling someone “triggered”, while offering no counter points, it’s safe to say you have already lost.
Got it, understood, you can't read.
Sorry about that for you, good luck with life.
