It's multi-platform, uses one of the biggest IPs of an entire generation and seems to do it quite well too. Everything else would have been more surprising to me.

I'm shocked the online outrage from gamingcirlclejerk didn't work

It's like the sub made for taking the piss out of gaming criticism and critique did what it was supposed to do.

Not really, they were often really serious about it which made it all the more ridiculous. Sometimes it's a fun circlejerk sub, sometimes it's presenting their slacktivism almost as being some gaming vanguard and fighting a war against the game.

It was pretty funny.

I used to love that sub, but these days they are only focused on the outrage culture. Nothing inherently wrong with that, I like to laugh at people who take their video game waifu too seriously. I initially joined that sub because it seemed like the best place to have level-headed conversations about overhyped games, like the Witcher 3. Everywhere else seems to love that game as if it’s the second coming of Jesus, but if you find some places that didn’t like the game, they swing a bit too hard on the opposite site, so you can’t have a conversation with them either. I found plenty of people in that sub who loved that game, but knew where the shortcomings were.
