| BraLoD said: People are enraged because they were lied to, and are getting a low quality product from a massive series from a massive corporation. It's nothing new, people act like that every time a big game fails to meet standarts or is badly perceived. People trashed games like Sonic '06 and Boom, people trashed Fallout 76, people trashed Anthem, and so on. The absurdity is that we have people that defended it this time, because it's Pokemon. They did the same with Bethesda with them continuosly showing they didn't care, until we got Fallout 76. That's what is happening with GameFreak now, some people have been pointing out their incompetence and lack of interest to invest to make better games but the majority kept defending, until we got Sword and Shield. The difference was that GF still had the 3DS excuse, where low quality was still quite passable. Now a lot of people are enraged with them because of the flaws of their products, the lack of care about the fanbase and lying to them, and want to make it clear it not get yet another pass, so the company feel the need to change. That's what's happening here, fans are finally realising they don't need to accept anything and are mad with how they are being treated. The fact you call it millennial entitlement is very telling on how out of touch with the situation you are and how quick you jump to generalization to show your ignorance (as in lack of understanding) and try to use it as an artifact to make it looks bad, which is honestly quite sad. |
If anyone is enraged, then that person needs anger management classes.
Even if we grant that Gamefreak lied, and even if we assume it was done with particular malice, there is still no reason to be enraged, because the lie did not in any way negatively impact you. The game was available for all to see well before release, and relevant facts detailed. By the time the game came out, they had ample opportunity to see what the game was like. If you think it's a low quality product, then the appropriate response is to not purchase it. If you feel like you need to explain why you don't want to buy it, then I'm not going to tell you how you should spend your time.
But to be mad is to imply that Gamefreak somehow cheated you out of something. That they had some duty to you that they did not properly fill. In other words, that you were entitled to something.
