As long as we’re talking about things we can’t believe, I still cannot believe how many gamers actually want a critical apparatus that does nothing but fuel hype and is never genuinely critical in the least.pic.twitter.com/dJYQI6TVbv

If they spent the money for the game and made the game into their identity while it was gearing up for release then they HAVE to believe it is AMAZING. Otherwise all that time and attention and personal investment were wasted!
It’s exactly that, yes. The way their own identities get tied up with games. If a game in which they’ve placed so much importance and anticipation isn’t actually a towering work of sublime unmitigated triumph, what does it say about them, that they identify with it so strongly?
And for so long, such vast swaths of the gaming press were only too happy to feed into this deep, unhealthy level of identification with games, because it was profitable for them, too.
