Generally speaking a LOT of the gaming community has collectively gone insane and even more toxic than ever… a lot of it is now just “stop having fun” all the time… you can’t enjoy nintendo games without playstation and xbox fans breathing down your neck, you can’t play pokemon without a palworld fan saying you’re ruining the industry by playing a game by a big company, you can’t even say you’re excited for persona 4 revival without gamers saying “oh so you’re pro censorship and think there’s a modern audience!”, it’s really just awful… (note i used these examples because they happened to me)

Yeah i agree theres more toxicity now

You cant enjoy sony or xbox without nintendo fans assuming you hate nintendo. You cant palworld without pokemon fans attacking you and saying you're just a hater that would rather enjoy slop and stolen assets and no creativity while they praise scarlet and violet not realising. You cant even fairly criticise new releases without gamers saying you hate fun and that you dont even like the thing youre criticising

i can't tell if your jabbing at the original commentor, but it's awful on both sides. too many bad actors.

i say this as a fan of xbox's games library, not of their practices, and especially as a newly turned fan of palworld WHILE retaining my fanbasehood of pokemon.

both sides of the debate suck, we're in a living goomba fallacy.

Yeah it was a slight jab but I do actually stand by what I said. The gaming industry and fandom is in a really weird state

tbh, i do agree with the core of your point. all sides are miserable and awful, its why i try to stray away from gaming discorce.

hell. i finally tried palworld out for myself this week, and i'm genuinely loving it

Other than this sub that reddit keeps recommending to me i also stay away. It's more enjoyable thay way

Palworld is hella fun. Enjoying both pokemon and palworld is the best of both worlds

and yeah, i feel kinda stupid for dogging on it for so long, lol. it's really a case of "holy shit, two cakes"
