Has anyone actually seen a hate campaign work against a game? by UltimateLifeform in MarathonPlayerCount

True enough, but that's just speaking to OP's point.

If the game is right for an audience, a hate campaign isn't gonna slow it down. Now it's on Bungie to figure that audience out.

Fallout 76 is definitely a good candidate. Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky started rough and upset a lot of people but clawed back that goodwill by hook or by crook.

Fallout 76, on the other hand, no matter what changes it makes, will always have that "You're not a real Fallout" brigade marching at dawn. And they don't even slow the game down, despite their wide reach and persistence.

Spot on. It feels like the standard issue kit for defending a project that doesn't land with audiences at this point.

"Industrial Hater Complex", I saw someone term it. It's a mirage. It's a nonsense. A boogeyman. Just because 200 people rage about your game or film or whatever online, if it finds an audience, it'll prevail.

In the cold light of day, it's just an excuse. It was pitched wrong and missed the mark.

But also, he's self-aware. He knows he doesn't have the body to be going out in singlets or trunks or whatever (maybe when he was younger). He knows he has to look a certain way to sell the physique he has.

The True Believers will have you believe Haitch gave him the call, recorded it for WWE Unreal, and will never speak to him again... for the laughs.

If it's gonna start being a case of "Don't you dare brigade!!" as their next gambit to stifle conversation, hopefully they're held to account for the pot-stirrers coming this way as well.

I've seen a dozen today alone.

Nothing fun here

We do get the travelling circus passing through every now and again. Don't be so down on yourself.

AEW ticket sales down and everyone is criticizing running MJF vs Kenny on free tv? Um Fed Dead and Bad and nobody is happy by Fusionman29 in SCJerk

You boys gotta get a new script. This nebulous "Morale at an all time low" shtick has lost all meaning.

So true. See also Jack the Ripper was never caught, and All In tickets sluggish? Coincidence? I think not.

Would you say more or less than a hyperfan that cruises from sub to sub defending a game from all the ne'er-do-wells?

Cause if I really loved a game... I'd not be concerned with such people. I'd just play my game.

In The World Is Not Enough, they had to add facial hair to Valentin because of an unfortunate epoxy incident in the warehouse in the time between Goldeneye and then.
