This is not an attack on your statement, as you’re definitely right. But I just want to add this:
Some people are (understandably) complaining about the severely limited character creator in Baldur’s Gate 3, and comparing it to even middle-range ones in other modern RPGs; but many other people are attacking us as if we are trolls and we hate games, and those people are getting a lot of support. Baldur’s Gate 3 is fantastic, but the character creator sucks. We’re allowed to have nuanced opinions, right?
Much of the gaming-adjacent internet are teenagers. It will always feel cool to be against [popular thing]™ when you’re still figuring out what your identity is as an individual.
I learned a while ago to stop caring what most idiots on the internet think about games. There is always a mix of circlejerking, rage-baiting, and sour grapes muddying the waters.
Dude, it’s been like this for almost 30 years. Only difference between now and then is that everybody now has an easy way to stand on a soapbox to a large audience.
Is there like an ongoing competition to see who can be the most negative over games? I’m starting to think I should just stay off the internet.
I often go online after I’ve been enjoying a game to see what others think and then go…oh this was a mistake. Some seem to live to hate things.
I’ve really been enjoying Diablo IV, so…yeah….
That is one I was thinking of. I’ve been enjoying it as well.
You’re supposed to wait until you hate the game before joining the others.

Makes sense, teenagers are the worst
Tell me about it. I used to be one.

That seems like a pretty huge difference to me
Yeah, it is lol. Internet’s more or less been this way since chat rooms and forums, but social media is where it really came out of the woodworks.
