one of the many things i hate about g*mers is their utter lack of class solidarity, that they will constantly excuse the incredibly shitty actions of publishers but have endless blame and vitriol for "lazy devs" who always should be fired of course

like not only are the devs generally overworked and underpaid with incredibly shitty job security, but theyre not the ones making these decisions and are probably far more frustrated than you are about the game they poured so much work into being put out as a buggy and/or incomplete mess. and yeah its pretty clear that a lot of the additions/changes that g*mers write their obnoxious fucking manifestos demanding, are probably way harder to do than they look

i vaguely looked into the drama about the new cyberpunk patch and dlc the other day, which is honestly pretty hilariously insulting to people who bought the game (lol two free hideous jackets, and one of the characters t-poses during the promo video), but it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth to see the g*mers almost exclusively dragging the poor overworked and under-resourced grunts trying to make the best of a bad situation rather than the higher-ups who put them in that situation
