    Yea, one thing I would love to see on Lemmy that I rarely saw on Reddit are level-headed gamers when it came to controversies.

      Civility argument is about protecting the powerful. Let people have opinions. We all know why people are upset. Downplaying it just makes someone sound like an apologist.

        People are voicing their opinions, what’s the big deal? We should all agree with these gamer tantrums?

          no, why should we? But should gobble up the lies and the shit corpos give to use? No, absolutely not.

            No, I would think the proper response is to stop playing this game and giving it attention rather than continuing to play it but leaving a negative review. Whatever, we’re all free to do as we please, but the decision making doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It’s also clearly not the worst game on Steam, because people still want to play it.

          “Tantrums” show your true purpose: denigration.

            Yeah these review bombings are ridiculous, so what? Am I not free to express my opinion? And I’m not quite sure how anyone’s not allowed to have their opinion, if it’s dumb then you can call it dumb.

              Are the reviewers not allowed to express their opinions even though other people think it’s dumb?

      Why is it on the reviewer to be level-headed and not the consumer?

      Take some personal responsibility. If you see a game at 1/10, read the reviews. Do some research.

      You’ll get much further teaching yourself to be smart instead of teaching society to be smart.
