I think it's normal that people may have different points of views, tastes or opinions because we're human, so everyone is different. So it's normal to see people debating or arguing about stuff.Why would what's going on in the gaming world make you "unusually tense"? Unless of course you work in the industry and it's directly affecting you. It's a hobby, I disagree with ppl in here sometimes but I don't take it personal unless it's a personal attack but I could care less if someone disagrees with me. Some ppl just need to accept others do not think like they do and it's OK for ppl to think differently and have different opinions. Sony isn't paying my rent nor is any other Corp so I give two shits what ppl say about them
But people in gaming forums typically aren't the average player who barely plays and doesn't care about people makes the game etc, often are people who really care about gaming and specially about some games, companies or consoles. We love to get informed about the news, talk about them etc. and tend to be tribalistic (normal in human beings either if it's a country, political party, religion, sports team, music genre and many things more) in this case about gaming topics.
So when we see stuff from their favorite company (or rival competitor) like almost one or two thosand people fired, games tanking, games cancelled, games breaking records, studios shut down, exclusives going multiplatform etc. the debate gets heated, more intense during a handful days.
But things should be debated as decent human beings, without insults, personal attacks, etc.
Or Totoki seeing that nobody liked the London Studio game and thinking that they had to spend like $100M more on it even if they knew it was going to tank, while with that money they could make 50 PC ports with a x50 ROI, turning $100M into $5B instead of throwing them to the garbage bin.I was at the office today with barely any internet so I missed all the conversation but besides the shocking "900 layoffs" headline it doesn't seem like gamers lost anything worthwhile?
People were mocking that London game since it was announced, nobody wanted it. We never saw anything of Twisted Metal, it might as well not exist. The Insomniac MP was already cancelled months ago. We were not getting it anyway.
It's almost like Jim and Hermen were reading the forum and just did what people were asking lol
