Haha. Poe's Law in action.
Incidentally, I've actually talked to Nathan Poe (the guy Poe's Law is named after) a long time ago. Hmm. Wonder what happened to him?
I had to look that one up. Wasn't familiar with Poe's Law before. And who is this Nathan Poe, a Youtuber?

Really? You sure about that because if I remember correctly cows have done much worse from sending threats to devs when Final Fantasy 13 was announced to come to 360.
HZD isn't mocked for not reaching a 90, at least by PC fans. It was mocked for being a yet another template game from first party and at best a Far Cry clone. I don't see anyone changing their tune after this announcement. It's something you cows have convinced yourselves that when people criticize your exclusives they are jealous of them.
Oh and let's not get ahead of ourselves here. GG is on record saying they chose to do another genre because they couldn't compete in FPS with the likes of CoD and BF.
There's been death threats sent by all camps. What are you trying to prove? One group is more dangerous? There's nutty people everywhere.

There's these cowards/mental cases sending death threats over Twitter behind their screenames, and then there's HULKING OUT like a madman and trashing your own room because of a port announcement (which I maintain there is almost none of that....unless someone is doing it for the views and the memes). With billions of people out there, I'm sure you can find a couple statistical examples of genuine anger and trashing of a room or punching of a wall. Don't use those tiny examples to go "Yup, that's all Sony gamers right there", unless you want me to use some PC gamer examples of crazy ass behavior, and paint all PC gamers that way. If it doesn't make sense and wouldn't be fair to do that to PC gamers, why would it make sense to do it to Sony gamers?
As for Horizon, when it got good reviews, there wasn't exactly a lot of warm welcoming from PC or Lemmings. You weren't seeing a lot of "Congrats on getting a great, well-scoring open world game, Sony fans". There was more "Haha didn't get 90 on Metacritic, another overrated Sony exclusive that Ponies will eat up."
Don't lie and pretend that didn't happen, or wasn't thought of inside those noggins by some PC/Lemmings.
You saw the same thing with Detroit Become Human. "HAHAHA look at this dumb movie game. Ponies love walking simulators with no gameplay."
Then, when Detroit Become Human comes to PC: "HAHAH Cows lost their exclusive. No reason to buy a PS4 if we end up getting all the same games!"
Don't lie and pretend that didn't happen.
