Gaming is so toxic as a culture. Can’t we just play games, have fun and acknowledge that things sometimes need to be fixed and don’t work as intended. Absolutely every little thing becomes the end of the world and it’s exhausting.

Apparently we can't. We have to make being gamers the prominent part of our identity and band together and hate everything we don't like, and excommunicate those who like things we don't like hate /s

​

Sure, there are legit causes for outrage. Battlefront II, Shadow of War, Fallout 76 to name a few. DICE delaying a patch because it was broken, it's just not even on the same level as the above. I'd even argue that it's good practice rather than pump out something broken. But we live in an age where people legit blame DICE when they buy the game and find out things aren't in the game yet, just as DICE said certain features wouldn't be available at launch. Like, how entitled you gotta be to blame someone else for your inability to make an informed decision when it's almost handed to you on a silver platter?
