It's overwhelmingly negative attitudes like this, that every move a large company makes is an attempt to personally fuck you, that reeks of self entitlement.
A reply to this part in specific. There's a reason why there's a ton of governemnt regulation on corporations. There's also a reason you see the syndrome of "gamer entitlement" in the gaming industry alone. That's because gamers are rather stupid to realize that responsibility lies not on us, consumers, but the corporations. You think it's entitlement? Giving opinions is entitlement now? Using free speech to express an opinion on a game is entitlement? Even if you didn't buy it nothing forbids me from having an opinion on it, and if I did buy it I demand a good game without problems. I gave them my money not the other way around, it's publishers who are entitled to my money and they have to earn it, not the other way around.
There's a reason you don't see the entitlement card being thrown around against consumers in any other industry. And the reason is, the consumers of those industries do have brains to understand that responsibility and entitlement lies solely on the companies and corporations and if they want their money they have to earn it.
Don't be stupid and give in to bullshit that is fed by publishers so they can avoid responsibility of their mistakes using the "gamer entitlement" card.
