At 41 I realize I am older than most other gamers, so this may be a generational disconnect.. but man, I just DO NOT GET this need so many of you have to announce stuff. - If I am bored with a game, I go play another. I don't need to announce it.... - If I don't like a game, do I feel the need to insult people who like it? Nope.. because my ego does not demand that everyone agree with me.. Again, not a special snowflake. - If I do something well in a video game, do I really need to post that anyone else who hasn't done it sucks? Nope... It's a video game - If I stop playing a game, does that mean it is dying? Pretty sure they are unconnected.. or WoW would have died a year after it came out, and I am pretty sure it's doing ok. The world does not actually revolve around me. MY world does.. and it stops there. Tell your family and friends, they care. But internet forums? Why add to the meaningless noise that is already 95% trolls and self-masturbatory/exaggerated nonsense? Can someone help me understand why people post this stuff? Honestly, the reddit looks more reasonable and mature than this place... That can't be a good sign. EDIT: I posted this once below but will put it here for all the inevitable "You are complaining about complaining" posts The sarcastic side of me agrees with you. But in reality, I have some faint glimmer of hope that starting a rational conversation will encourage people to put more thought into what they post. (A very faint glimmer).
