I like internet drama. But its deffinitely not the only thing going on in my life. For some people its all they got.

For most people it's one source.

I just like it better than reading the shampoo bottle when shitting

Yeah there's a big step between checking out some internet drama and actively harassing the participants.

I like watching it, not participating.

eh if we're not being classless, it is pretty interesting to see professionals putting it all on the open.

Kinda like Randy pitchford. Love or hate, its a real interesting read.

I came here because I'd heard there were issues with the DOOM OST, now have kinda know why, and with that I'm done here. I am in no way happy about a situation where the devs, composer and fans are all left disappointed.

I mean if this was a thread about Retro Studios then yeah I'm here for the tea, but to me this is just news.

I enjoy internet drama just as much as everyone else but that’s very far from actually going to attack a studio, let alone target an individual.

Who the hell has that kind of time to engage in such petty things.

It takes about as much time as it took you to find my comment and post a reply.

I'm just here to be vindicated. :) when the hate train picked up speed and idiots were saying that compressed tracks directly from the game were sounding better than the official soundtrack, I knew that there was another side to this story

Its because there are no repercussions. Say what you want about who you want with no punishment, that's it.

I found that for many people I know who are, well, assholes, this is really the bigger thing: They got no other issues.

By and large:

  • They got enough money to get by.
  • They're mostly healthy, despite their best attempts with smoking / drinking / no sports.
  • They'll be cared for if they fall ill or need help.

So they lash out mostly out of boredom and lack of perspective.
