Why do we hate the Average Consumer?

Simply because they don't necessarily like the things we do. They like Call of Duty, Just Dance and/or Angry Birds and mobile games. Many forum dwelling "gamers" believe those games are shitty and because of that believe themselves to be better than the average consumer.

I hear a lot about how they buy the same games over and over again and have low standards, meanwhile we are 25+ years in and Mario is still saving the same princess from the same bad guy, all while jumping on the same turtles and walking mushrooms.

That's all good though.



Honestly, to me it just makes them come off as insecure.

I'm pretty sure those "forum dwelling gamers" are the same ones who rag on Nintendo for making games in the same franchises year after year. You point out that a Mario game is "just jumping on Goombas to save the Princess" and then Nintendo fans will say "you're crazy if you don't think each game is immensely different. There's different mechanics in each game". I don't care...it's still Mario jumping on Goombas to save the Princess from Bowser.

So, by transitive property, we hate Nintendo. Is this a stealth Nintendo sympathy thread?
