    helps that the games are good

    Half of reactionary gamer rage is misdirected anger at games becoming corporatized soulless microtransaction factories made by people who get laid off every year

      Yelling at the Oompah-Loompahs because my chocolate bar is substandard instead of yelling at the purple dude who owns the factory.

      Also, in this case, yelling at the chocolate bar.

      G*mers: this game has lackluster game play, a boring unoriginal story (if any), more bugs than an anthill, has clearly suffered from rushed development and crunch time, and is basically a half-assed excuse for the endless stream of microtransactions and cosmetics shoved in my face, why am I not having fun? It must be all the DEI feeeemales and minorities!
