Analyst outraged by outrage: "I am certain that the ‘fan outrage’ has not hurt sales, and perhaps has helped sales," says Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter. "Unfortunately, appeasing the whiners here will only encourage fans to be even more vocal next time, so the lingering issue is that gamers will feel even more entitled and empowered than they have in the past, and will be even more demanding about changes to future games." Thanks Joao.

Oh and this picture pretty much portrays the retards that keep calling gamers "entitled" for using their own consumer rights. That's how sad the gaming community is, when gamers go against other gamers using corporate propaganda that diminishes their own justified rights.
But that's a bullshit strawman.
People using entitled use it to gamers that say "that game is $50, and there are additional missions available as DLC for $10. Fuck it, I'm pirating it."
The entitlement is thinking they're entitled to the game under any circumstances.
No, what you are saying is the real bullshit strawman here and reeks of corporate apologist phrases. We are the customers, we have the rights to purchase and to complain if said purchase is below expectations, especially if there was a hyper-mega marketing effort behind it that painted the game like something else.
The ultimate strawman is thinking customers have almost no rights or no rights at all when in truth it should be corporations that should be on the tip of their toes and not customers. Customers are entitled because they have all the right to be so, because it was their money that paid for it.
Piracy is bad entitlement as your last phrase seems to put it and I agree to a point. All the rest however, especially when it comes to someone who purchased a product like my damn picture shows, is corporate bullshit and a huge strawman publishers are turning on gamers instead of them being the ones validly at the end of it. |
