And it's standard practice that both MS and Sony moneyhat



Who really didn't know that ?

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. 

it actually shows it's exactly about moneyhatting and how, despite the petty moralism, it is a common practice
