About how the community reacts to moneyhatting (please read the OP first)

[Teeqoz]

After all the outcry about Tomb Raider being a timed exclusive, I've noticed a lot of people that have claimed that "it's only bad when Microsoft does it" or "people don't care when Sony does it".

Here's the thing: When Sony does it we aren't complaining, you are! Could you imagine that, that the very same persons that now says "suck it up, it's business, not a charity" were whining when Sony announced timed exclusive dlc for a new franchise. This is about Destiny of course, and the particular deal is tiny compared to the Tomb Raider deal. Here's examples from every fanbase, complaining about that deal (thanks to Bananaking for finding them):

Conclusion: It's not "only bad when Microsoft does it" it's bad when anyone does it!

Edit: Guys, you're missing the point, it's about the fact that the same people that tells us to "suck it up" when Company A are doing it, complains when company B are doing it. It's hypocrisy.

this isnt exactly about moneyhatting, this is more of a letter to the community, and how often they generalize when talking about fanbases. the issue here is the generalizations that keep accuring, and that are quite frankly false, proved by the posts that i dug up from just one thread, this isnt about the deal between ms/square.

as an example for the false generalizations i speak off, here are some posts from the thread i made posted the examples in. keep in mind, this is just one thread, and just from the first two pages.

i am not calling out people here, what i am doing is showing that these types of "X fanbase are so blah blah blah" or "when X company does it its bad but when Y company does it everybody is ok with it" are just false and have no merrit to them. i certainly am not trying to upset anybody or any of the users i quoted here.
