It's sad how low the trolls can get. Review bombing things that have 0 to do with the upcoming title

Agreed.

I know we gamers are the angriest bunch of people on the planet but this round of nerd rage I simply don't get. So the game is exclusive... So what? It's not on some small, fly by night retailer that you're nervous about installing... It's on the Epic Games Store which has a customer base larger than the population of most countries and I'm betting most of the ones exhibiting all the nerd rage already have installed on their PC.

It's also kinda nice that we finally have a retailer that looks like they can shake up Steam with some competition. That's never a bad thing.

Tell that to the drones of Steam fan boys who threw their toys out of the crib because borderlands 3 is going to Epic first. 100% agree with you though. Or at least this new generation of gamers.

I would say before e-sports came, and twitch streaming and all the popularity behind gaming, it was a good community. Even World of Warcraft was no where near the vile toxic display it is today. And back then it had maybe triple the subscriptions it has now. Glad I left that game far behind.

I never thought I would see as much petulance than the reaction over Brexit but this just reaffirms what tossers there are out there.

People need real problems to worry about tbh.

Don't think they could handle them. Too many people losing touch with reality and unable to cope with the most simplest of dilemma's / moderately stressful tasks.

Review bombing is so childish, i myself am not a fan of the way Epic does it's deals and removes choices for purchase, but i wouldn't rip up a great game just because of that.

Childish behaviour can be expected from the gaming community - significant portion of gamers are literally children. Not to mention teenagers, and generally immature people.

Steam's way of just sweeping them under a rug is correct, let them have their outrage since it's going to inevitably happen somewhere.

Oh, like brexit?
