@willjohnboy @Victor_714 Lets be realistic here, we are living on an age that we think we are indeed entitled to everything. But the companies aren't being honest with their products either. You can't really value a game for what it can become. The product is what you are buying on the present, not on the future. Sure you can think of it as an investment... But that's just fooling yourselves, your wallet and you end up spoiling the companies that have this marketing behavior.
The company says thank you and get its money sooner with underdeveloped content... because of that, companies like this should indeed get a big slap on their wrist and stop being motivated with this type of business model. But again, its our own fault things got this way.
When you bought games 20 years ago you would get the final product, not something unfinished.
@tigress666 @ultimapt Totally agree with you, im just trying to criticize Gamespots own way to criticize their commentators. They knew where they would get into. They either would accept it and contain this behaviour somewhere or they should just stop this show if they cant handle it.
@Snaptrap You are right that people are always like this but what im trying to communicate is... was this episode and the way it criticized people for how they are really was the best way to deal with it? I dont know about that...
@dem5000 @ExplosivePants @Shulko @BLUElightCory Even though i agree with you with the attention seeking aspect (this is a reviewing company anyway, gotta make a living), people are still getting too worked up about a simple review. Its just to have any idea what might be not "right" and what is interesting in the game on the perspective of one person that played the game. No one will have the same opinion as another when playing a game, theres always something that people criticize and the other wont, even if its a professional review. You are fine to disagree with me or others/gamespot though.
@ExplosivePants You (gamespot) can criticize what happened with the comments featured in this episode, but the truth is, they are indeed inspiring people for a worse behaviour. You reap what you sow?
But just to be clear i still enjoy the show and his hypocrite way to deal with it.
@blulight89 Most of the reviews in this site even though they are (generally) objectively well done they still are influenced by the popularity of the games themselves, specially in games like CoD and so on. Im not trying to hate or to throw stones at anything, everyone is entitled to review things however they like, but in the end its still a company trying to get views and popularity in the site, therefore, sometimes it kinda looks like a machine pumping out reviews the audience wants. In this case it didnt work that well and this is what happened... my opinion ofc.
