That journalism though!

Nothing surprising. Just yesterday we have a ridiculous thread about Tomb Raider vs Uncharted.
Anyway, yes, double standards are in each fanbase but with Sony fans is worse. I have had discussions about how their exclusives counts as the best games ever while Nintendo ones,despite developing over hundred, don't count for random reasons as casual or downloadable.

This right here

Anything Sony does, praise it. Anything bad they do, defend it, justify it or sweep it away. But anything Microsoft does, scrutinise it, and anything bad they do, vilify them further.

Is the article in a nutshell. It can also be applied to fanboys of any type, not just sony.

The outrage came at the smoke and mirrors that it would be completely exclusive and not timed. If they just said it was timed, people would have been upset but it would be a deep sigh rather than uproar.

Sony Fanboys And Their Insufferable Double Standards

I fixed it!

Fanboyism is a plague to the industry that does nothing but create a toxic, unwelcoming community. It's fine to love and prefer a console maker or developer, but the extent that fanboys leap at the opportunity to point out the mistakes/perceived mistakes of the others and how stubbornly they refuse to acknowledge the object of their fanboyism's own mistakes is absolutely ridiculous. If anything, the fanboys should be the ones most critical of their favored company's actions, since they have the most to lose or gain, and they shouldn't need feel validated by the company of their choice being the 'winner'.

That's the thing though. You're wrong. People aren't mad at SE, they are mad at MS! The proof is everywhere! That's what the OP is trying to say.

Yes?

Just two comments I found quickly in the original thread. PC fans were angry too

the thing is... this mentality is not exclusive to sony fans/supporters/whatever(i still see many cases of ms or nintendo supporters that hate sony like the plague) so... not really getting the point here, well i guess the main point is that generalising to make a point is always retarded or maybe that having emotional attachment to companies is itself retarded (should the gaming industry shut down tomorrow i won't bat an eye because in the grand scheme of things its inconsequential, however, its a nice distraction when time is available, that's my view anyway)

you know BK was sending that out yesterday too and i chose to ignore it.  I think what you and others arent realizing is that everybody knows fanboys from every group is annoying.  What people are saying is that the reaction wouldnt have been "as bad" as it was if Sony had done it.  People arent saying Xbox and Nintendo fans arent bad, we can all agree MSFT and nintendo fans are annoying as well.  What people are saying is that Sony fans are the worst.  And when i say fans, im talking hardcore fanboys, not a typical fan

With that said this thread really should be locked as its only going to end badly. I see no reason to have this up when all its going to do is cause arguments that will never be settled
