@gamingdevil800: I'd rather being playing this myself. I wish I had an early copy. Loved the first one.

@Tak666: Women's issues is a big hipster 'talking point' right now. They'll move onto some other perceived injustice before you know it. Eventually pc will go out of fashion again. Then we'll do this all over again.

@awesomephatman: SJW talking point. SJW staff at Gamespot is at critical mass at this point.

@jinzo9988: You know, I'm usually prone to the opposite opinion that you have, but I have to say you have made me stop and think with your post. That's rare, good post.

@nadsat-77: I'm more worried about the morons getting the government involved in games. They are getting dangerously close with this gambling crap. Next thing you know some 'mom' group organizes and the government does what it does best, overreact/overreach to get votes.

@Charand: I endorse this opinion. I'm no great gamer and I got to the point that losing a fight was very, very rare in the first game.

@Dogmatic923: I think it is a couple of things. I think they don't like Shelob and that has become a bit of a game journo SJW talking point. They also think they will get street cred for bashing the MTs. They are probably right on the second point. I honestly don't think there is any grand conspiracy going on except them being influenced by the above and wanting to be known as a 'tough' critic.

@Fallenlords69: What really worries me about it is that by introducing the gambling-like element into the equation, they are almost begging for eventual government regulation. No one wants the government to get started messing with our games.

@mattcake: The more this goes on, the more it loses steam. Let them stay in a permanent state of feigned offense.

Eight Thoughts just destroyed these guys.
