I will never understand why gamers get mad at other gamers so intensely for not liking the correct game or system
Like bro it's a fucking toy, you would think that it's a religion the way these dingleberries talk.
Every major game company is greedy and terrible, your favorite gamer shit isn't any less mindless consumption-y than the gamer shit that you don't like.
It sucks because the whole industry is shitty and instead of acknowledging that they distract from the real problems facing the industry by squabbling about which souless company is the most souless.
The same kind of people complain when game industry workers try to unionize.
I always assume it's just children on Reddit that act like that... I hope.
All of the "console wars" were manufactured by their respective companies to drive consumer culture. If you look at gaming advertising from the 90s you can see where all of this comes from.
