Why???

Buggy releases that are horrifically overpriced, go in completely wonky directions, and in general are so generic and repetitive and yet continue to push all other potential competition from the market.

Firaxis is awful.


Everyone kept praising Baldur’s Gate 3. I even watched gameplay of it.

It was buggy on the supposed release, especially with a quest that had been part of the beta FOR YEARS rendering itself incompleltable and stealing my items in the process.

Then I got sucked into a party wipe, and a fight I had beaten earlier suddenly became an impassable slogfest.

$90 AUD for 3 hours of gameplay and a piss poor character creator. Because orcs had fuckall compared to the other races.

I am never trusting popular opinion again.




Gonna keep repeating it until it sticks:

Don’t touch Gearbox shit. They showed their true colours when they embezzled Colonial Marines.


Don’t buy fucking Gearbox games. Jesus fucking shit on a bike chrisy. I have been saying that for over a decade.


Given where this is coming from, im waiting for the drop where they blame the tranas community for this. Somehow.


Stop supporting 2K shit.

I’ve been saying this for years. And nobody listens.


I dunno, I think GTA5’s true ending with the trio working together to close off each other’s loose ends is a pretty satisfying finale.

I agree with the assessment in regards to 4 though. To me, it always came off as ‘nothing gets better, even if we have to shoehorn in a reason for that because we didn’t actually make a different finale’.



Squad selling out to fucking TakeTwo was a blatant stab in the back to the early supporters. The problems start there IMO.



The Dead Space franchise. The Payday franchise. Skyrim. Stellaris. Starcraft II. The Age of Empires franchise. Warframe. Telltale’s Batman. Starboard.

Just going through what I regularly listen to.


Age 2 is actually in a museum now. Larian’s games are overhyped, and even KSP went bad the moment Squad sold out to Tencent.




The US is filled with gun crazy bigoted nut bags who love to go around bathrooms for genital inspections while crying at the sight of any rainbow flag.

See how unhelpful it is to make shitty generalisations?


Play literally any other strategy game.

Don’t keep supporting Firaxis’ shitty development, even if it’s through fake player numbers.



EA and Ubisoft I can see happening in theory.

Konami is an entirely different beast. The Japanese industry is so ingrained in a different ethos altogether, I just don’t see any public-backed push for change working the way it would with a Western publisher.

Just look at the direction Nintendo is heading. Do we have any actual chance of stopping that train?


Stop buying Gearbox slop. Jesus fucking christ people. Why are they still getting a free pass for being objectively shitty developers?


If you’re doing a little solo guitar performance in some back alley, does that mean the racist masses are entitled to come thundering down that back alley and harass you?
