In the gamer spaces I've been before the launch, everyone have this "siege" mentality where they preemptively assumes that any kind of criticism must have come from "journos" and SJWs who wants to tear down the game for not conforming to an "agenda". Like the whole epilepsy thing where capital Gs lost their shit to a benign advisory.

    Justifiable stuff honestly. Bugs, performance issue (especially on last gen consoles), some missing features, some gameplay stuff. My amusement mostly comes off from the aura of "invincibility" they tried to create and their attempt to scapegoats sjws ends up in failure.

    Example from a forum I frequent:

    I think a fair number of "gamers" want this game to fail because it doesn't fit neatly into the boxes they like to play. However, due to their own politics, they focus not on any of the actually meaningful issues in favor of talk about the game itself in the hopes of killing it so only games that they like get made.
