How the fuck can you guys stand the current state of gaming community in general?

I go on a news site to check out the release date of a game I want, and I'm immediately bombarded with yellow press titles about "videogaming not being inclusive enough", shit like "Is gameplay killing the games?", inane comparisons - the whole "Is X the Dark Souls of Y?" and people fellating companies out of some twisted sense of brand loyalty.

I go on a forum to see the opinions about an update on my favorite game, and I see absolutely pants-on-head retarded opinions that are uninformed as fuck, and whenever someone tries to go against the trend and puts out an informed, but controversial opinion, he swiftly gets banned or shitposted to death, whether it's /v/, reddit, actual dedicated game forum site or otherwise.

Hell, I log in to play a multiplayer game, and the chat is filled with whining babies, highschoolers and other sorts of retards. I have to mute both voice and text chat just to spare myself from that shit.

At this point, I'm completely convinced that my gaming experience would be significantly better if I just shut off myself from all the dumb opinions there are on the Internet, turned off all the social functions in the games I'm playing and just enjoyed the fucking game.

The state of the gaming community in general is at an all-time low.
How the fuck can you guys stand this unfiltered torrent of misinformation, retardation, forcing a narrative etc.?

You're an idiot who goes out of his way to look for things to complain about.
>>I go on a news site to check out the release date of a game I want
That's dumb as hell. Google "[game] release date" and it should tell you in big black letters. What's worse is that you're causing your own grief by giving these sites that you """"hate"""" so much clicks. Did you know game journalists now throw in words like 'progressive' to get clicks from people like you because they know you're gonna read it and get mad?
Also
>admitting to going on reddit
>caring about shit like voice chat
You're part of the problem. Either find a new hobby or play single player games. You won't do either of these things, of course, because you actually want to whine about shit that can be changed easily. Fuck you, I'm only in this thread because I'm waiting on this game to finish downloading.

>>382423161
The fact that you find problems with video game inclusivity and gameplay not being a major factor in why people play video games is indication that you're still a manchild who still needs to grow up and learn to accept that other people are just smarter and more morally just than you.

You should quit gaming if things like this makes you mad.

This. Clickbait journalism is basically just paid shitposting to get views (You)s.
>>
>>382423161
you can see even the guys who don't see it too posting against you here. The landscapes totally changed. It's no longer small dev teams with souls making games with souls, even if they sucked they still had some piece of heart. But now it's literally grinder mills and DLC to make the most money as possible instead of a fun and interesting idea.

Sure you got indies but the era of wacky idea's being released left and right before ps3-360ish era is difficult to get back just due to costs of producing games now.

Look at this fucking shit, people getting angry at things being "problematic" or games not using the exact proper definition of a word. Is this just some sort of massive trolling campaign or what?

Real talk, you can ignore all of that and just play videogames. I've been doing it for years. Only a child makes themselves upset over nothing.
>>
>>382428557
It just seems weird to me there's people at all making such points, especially when you consider the game itself has been accused many times of pandering to a (((certain))) demographic.

You just have your answer, I have been doing this and never look back, game journalism was always a shit show any ways but back in the day they at least talked about games, now if the article has no "women this" or "niggers that" it is called racist and MUH SOGENY, make your self a favor and dish em all.

fabrication, this would never happen now, you google "x release date"

this is how i don't care about "gaming community in general". I don't go places I don't have any reason to be and then pretend to be annoyed.

Just buy a game and don't get involved on any vidya related community and everything will be much better. Try to play it like it's on the 90s.
>>
I hadn't fallen for the western gaming meme. Honestly that's where 90% of the problem is coming from now. Companies with a foot in the grave are now going "politically correct" and "inclusive" to bring more attention to themselves and the idiots who want that shit hype it up but don't actually buy/play video games.

People like Anita created other facets in the "community" mostly made up of people who never had interest in games, using them as a means to cry out about being oppressed by not being included in the hobby.

Pretty much. Thanks for the correction I guess. We are known as a contrarian community for a reason.
>>
>>382432103

Another anon here, but your answer boils down to "I don't interact with the community and neither do I want to", which overall sounds more like an argument in support of what OP is saying.
As well as, ironically of how the gaming community might not be inclusive enough.
