| The_vagabond7 said: What I find amusing is if they make an article critical towards the wii, then it's obviously trolling for hits. But if they write an article that praises the wii, then it's just them apologizing and begging for forgiveness. Can't anybody take articles at face value anymore? Why is there always some devious subtext to articles? Could it be possible, maybe just possible, that Nintendo has made some really dumb decisions this generation that have alienated a large portion of the gaming populous and IGN called them on it, and Nintendo is ramping up to have a great year and they are praising them for it? Does it all have to be a conspiracy theory of fanboys and trolls? Dumb question. Yes, yes it does. I forgot I was on the internet. |
Could it be that even if it were the case that Nintendo made mistakes, nobody wants to hear IGN bitch about it? There is a difference between stating an opinion, and treating yourself as an elite who knows more than consumers who like the products Nintendo has been giving out. These articles are meant to target Nintendo fans, and because of that it should be realized that people are going to complain about it if somebody is targeting the source of their fandom with a negative rather than critical tone . Why does it even matter? If people are going to complain, on either ends, then let them. As for my opinion, I think the gaming media is pretty much non-representative of my opinion, and because of that I put very little credit into them for anything; either it be Wii, PS3, 360, DS, PSP, or PC.
