As the top comment said, it’s the same with Ubisoft, Activision, etc etc.
In all honesty, the gaming community is just… rather dumb. These people will spend dozens of hours on twitter bashing these developers to hell and back, but what are the top sellers every year? FIFA. Madden. CoD. Ubisoft games. Activision games.
This community will sit here and curse these developers and gaming companies with their last dying breath, but the fact of the matter is these SAME people continue to buy the games and be content with what’s equivalent to digital slop. It’s frustrating.
I really think that normies are psychologically incapable of judging or even noticing quality. video games are just mindless entertainment they buy to not feel bored for a while, and as long as it works for that they don’t care.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

You can say the same thing about people that complain about Chinese junk and yet continue to buy it.
And they get really mad when you criticize their AAA games with blatant flaws and corrupt practices.
I really think that normies are psychologically incapable of judging or even noticing quality. video games are just mindless entertainment they buy to not feel bored for a while, and as long as it works for that they don’t care.
I almost feel like I’m back on /r/gamingcirclejerk with this type of perspective.

Your friend is talking about a former buddy of mine.
He was incapable of critically judging any film or show he’s watched. Everything was the greatest movie he’s seen.
Here’s an example of just how bad. The new transformers, Angry Birds & Tokyo Drift were as good to him as Pulp Fiction, Toy Story & Inception.
I haven’t bought a CoD game since MW2. I’M DOING MY PART!
Given they just put out a MW2 remake(?) last year you’re either doing a great or terrible job.
I’m talking OG
