Want to know why gaming doesn't feel fun anymore? It's 60% the issues brought up by the commenters here.

The other 40% is how gamers are all extremely negative and it's only been a downward trend. This is now the THIRD thread I've seen today about something I've been hyped about, and not a single one has had a positive comment. It's all either "It's going to be a corporate shitshow" or "You're a bad person for even liking a game made by X company".

And hey, the companies did it to themselves, but fuck I'm tired of the constant negativity. I'm excited for this! I don't care! I loved the entirety of the Witcher 3, CP2077's release was a shitshow but they more than made up for it afterwards with a stream of first fixes and then just free improvements, not to mention Phantom Liberty and now it's like, my #2 favorite game ever. And I have a DRM free copy so I can keep it forever! I have no reason to doubt them. Sure it may be late. I don't care. I'll probably still love it.

I'm not going to go preorder it, or by the swag, or froth at the mouth like marketers want, but goddamn everyone is so freaking negative all the time.

Cue the standard Lemmy comments of "Did you know CDPR did X 8 years ago and you should never give them a penny" and "There was a moment in their game that didn't land well so we should boycot it" or "it'll be delayed so the entire studio sucks"
