I always thought I was a person who really cared about video games but I try to always get them on sale, and I play PC games so I'm spending like $30 for a brand new title. Just found out from my friend that he ended up paying hundreds of dollars for Red Dead Redemption. Pre-ordered the moment he could. Then he pre-ordered the special edition because he just needed the special edition and couldn't cancel the first order. Then he heard a rumour the company he put his pre-ordered through with was going to be shipping a day late and some other company would get them out guaranteed on day one, so ordered from there. There was a post-strike or something though, so on the day the game came out for some reason he ended up rushing to a retail store to buy a physical copy. Either way, he bought 4 copies and a special edition. He says he always does this with popular games because he can help other gamers by re-selling them the game at cost or cheaper. Sometimes he'll give them away to people he knows so that he "has someone to talk about the game with" because sometimes he'll get a game and no one he knows is playing it so can't talk about the game with anyone.

The solution to your problem is not buy the game that you think is going to be bad. I don't know why you'd spend a second of thought on the topic beyond that. It sounds like you've already done that but I don't understand gamers taking this poo poo personally. By the way, the money you've spent on Blizzard's games doesn't matter to them because they already have it.

Your time and money most certainly do not matter to gaming megacorp Activision-Blizzard. Just like they don't matter to EA or Ubisoft or whomever else I missed. While it is disappointing to see a series you like have its corpse dredged up only for a cynical mediocre cash grab, it is par for the god drat course and has been this way since *checks fallout 3 release date* 2008. There are however new and good games being made by indie developers. The series you like were once new too. Maybe instead of being blindly loyal to an entity that has become beholden to bilk the dumb masses out of cash for their shareholders you take your own advice, be more discerning with your cash and spend it on the few people remaining doing original and interesting stuff, and treat actually good big budget mainstream titles like xcom or doom as an extraordinary exception to be thankful for rather than something you are owed.

Gamers are loving weird because they will act like the exact available multiplayer modes a new game will ship with are a civil-rights level issue and we need a revolution and even violence against the company that makes it, but the only act of resistance that's a bridge too far for Gamers is just not buying the game. If they actually didn't all pre-order the special exclusive edition of the game the second it was available maybe they'd get somewhere with some of their demands and legitimate criticisms they have. "This company is a loving travesty, their new multiplayer policy is a crime against humanity and I'm willing to do anything to #resist this injustice other than not preorder the game and all its DLC. I will tirelessly fight for justice but please don't tell me not to drop $400 on in-game currency and loot boxes. Why do these criminals keep treating us Gamers like walking wallets with no rights?!"

Big Bowie Bonanza posted:somehow gamers though have this cynical attitude like giant billion dollar game companies shouldn't be held to the same standard other giant billion dollar companies should and it is dumb as gently caress No one has a problem with not buying poo poo games. We're making fun of gamers because they preorder poo poo the moment the trailer drops and basically help the game break even regardless of how good or bad it is. Then they rally on reddit and act like downvoting devs and sending them hate mail is some grand and noble battle. Entertainment has never been held to a high strandard and companies universally go with what sells. No amount of impotent gamer rage is going to change the fact that Assasins Creed 90 with DLC is going to rake in cash because at the end of the day a lot of people are willing to toss away 60 bucks based on a trailer. Consumers need to hold themselves to a higher standard but LMAO at the thought of that happening.

thinking that playing a game that you bought implies that the devs owe you something in the future for something you did for fun is the most retarded sentiment ever the hours you spent sperging over d2 builds don't actually make your opinion worth any more than someone else who bought the game and played the campaign, you both bought the same product, there's no deep moral contract between you and the devs because you like their game
