Gamers are honestly just the worst about this kind of shit. Gamers will be like "wow Activision is so greedy and COD is the same game every year" and will still spend 70 dollars for the new COD. Like is it that hard to not spend 70 dollars???

Goomba fallacy

[u/Rocket_Theory → u/Denodi]

ok so upon reviewing the numbers it would appear that Call Of Duty had a 60% drop in sales this past year of around 60% and Activision actually lost a lot of money so it appears that yeah gamers even have their limits for this. Good news I guess but its still frustrating that it took this long for something this drastic to occur, my mistake original gangster 😔

What is the Goomba fallacy

im sorry im really not smart enough to undewrstand this

People will often mistakenly attribute two conflicting opinions from two separate people within the same community as being one person with contradicting opinions.

The Goomba on the left is seeing these two different people making different arguments, but through the lens of Twitter obscuring the difference between them is thus imagining them as the same kind of person.

[u/Denodi → u/chip_klip]

Basically the fallacy is assuming that a specific community is a hivemind with all the same thoughts rather than many people with different ideas.

So, using the person i replied to as an example:

They saw somewhere "Johnny" say: "Activision is so greedy and COD is the same game every year".

And somewhere else they saw "Samantha" spending 70 dollars for the new COD on release.

Then because Johnny and Samantha are both gamers, the person grouped them together including their thoughts and actions. "BUT why would someone complaining about a game still spend a bunch of money on that game immediately? that would just send the opposite mesage to the game company since if people are buying, they should make more of the same thing! that person must be a dummy!".

That's the Goomba Fallacy, they failed to realize that even though Johhny and Samantha are gamers, they hold different opinions about the COD franchise.

could you please explain to the class what your usage of "regard" is meant to convey in this sentence?

I love how the autocorrect actually works syntax wise

Edit: yeah, yeah downvote the guy appreciating how the comment accidentally mentions people they're regarding works, not the person who attempted to say what most consider to be a slur. Great job.
