| OneTwoThree said: Bloodlust. Go visit Neogaf and count how many people are clamoring for Iwata's head. It's depressing. None of them can explain WHY they would want that. It's just satisfying in a primal human way to see others (higher-ups, in particular) fail. Very much like politics, where most people are completely clueless about the actual topics - but they all love it when a politician has to step down and "take responsibility". |
of course though, the question is this: how did this bloodlust accumulate in the first place? Are people honestly still THAT mad Nintendo decided to expand the gaming audience with the Wii? For the love of Buddha, it's been SEVEN YEARS.
If you are still mad that the Wii exists: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
If you are still mad that the Wii U exists: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
If you are still mad that Nintendo makes entries in Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, etc: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
If you are still mad that Iwata is the head of Nintendo: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
If you are still mad that Nintendo hasn't put their games on other systems: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
And if you think Nintendo has somehow slighted you in any way: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
Seriously, I don't WANT to believe that the gaming community encourages holding creepy grudges against abstract entities that, at the end of the day, only affect that you have to buy certain things to use product, but that's REALLY the only conclusion I can come to, illogical as it is. And it's lack of feasible logic that gets me with this whole thing. There's just nothing about that kind of behavior I can really say is healthy or reasonable.
