One thing that's gotten a lot worse is the hate for everything, I've unsubscribed from several of my formerly favourite YouTube gaming channels because they've gotten more and more about just hating on everything. Every game that isn't perfect gets dragged through the dirt and people love it and join in. And comments anywhere on the web about any game are generally 80% hate and pessimism. And if you dare to say you like whatever game the topic is about you'll get down voted and told you're an idiot and/or shill.
Complete same. Everyone I talk to who hates game X seems to have heard it from some shitty youtuber. "Well X person said it's not good and it's shit". Great, have you played it? Steam has a pretty great return policy, go try it for yourself.
They hardly ever do. They shit on something left and right while never actually trying it, and exactly that. It can be a decent game, but if it's not perfect it's just hot garbage. In another thread literally right now I'm being flamed for liking Veilguard. God forbid someone has an opinion they differ with on something as small as a video game.
