Can't believe you're calling out those hard-working people just trying to copy-paste their way into an audience base that will get them review copies.

I'd still take the user reviews because consumers have so little say in how developers treat them that review bombing, while bad, is one of the few ways that consumers can express their dissatisfaction with developer and publisher decisions that actively affect the consumers. Reddit AMAs are bullshit because a developer can cherry pick their questions and go for softballs instead of addressing major consumer concerns. It's on developers and publishers to cultivate the kind of consumer attitude they want and when so much is openly hostile to your base is it any wonder that they react poorly in the few venues they have to object and protest?

the way steam implements curators is pretty bad but like, the idea is sound, and the existence of dumb joke curators doesn't negate that

There are some who just do gimmicky stuff, yeah, but then Twitter is flooded with copy-pastes, automated gimmick accounts.

honestly she seems like a cool person but that fursona is a mildly visually unappealing design when it's well-drawn, and on the ninth circle of loving fursona hell when it's not like i don't even know why but something about it is just off-putting to me and i don't even usually care about furry poo poo (i'm willing to consider that having just read through The Unfunnies might have given me a conditioned fear response to furry art.)

Discord provided such an easy model for how to eat Steam's lunch that I'm shocked Epic is going with the "spend them out of bussiness" plan. Just design a decent storefront and people will flock to you!

I mean actiblizz is bad for other reasons, mostly that they don't make good games anymore and blizzard, despite running several multiplayer games for like 15+ years, has zero idea how to balance anything, is enough reason to hate them.

WW2 didnt do great and the studio heads moved to 2k and took a ton of talent with them. so they are making tryarch rush a game by 2020 instead of pulling a Ubisoft and having roatating IP releases and taking their time with the games. apparently activision despite owning a gently caress ton of IPs is super reliant on COD now. i mean i will probably pick up MW4 and 2 remaster though i wish it was IW 2. the sledagehammer game was supposed to be cold war/vietnam which was gonna be their shot at a spec ops the line type deal before doing AW. but thats probably dead.

Yeah, that tracks, because Jon is slow as poo poo to get anything done. I was subscribed to him on Youtube for months after that bullshit happened because I thought I had unsubbed and he hadn't appeared in the list of recent uploads from subscribed channels page in that whole time.

That said, I'm more in defense of reviews because unless you're actively looking for trash, more often than not you'll find people leaving actual useful opinions. 99.9% of the time I check reviews I see a bunch of reasonable takes ranging from "I really like this and here's why" to "I wanted to like this, but here's why not" to "sorry, this isn't good". No memes or one sentence "big tiddy gave me boner/10" garbage at all.
