2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Idiots will buy anything.
Well...they won't buy Concord.
Concord was a brand new IP, this is an established popular IP. The brand recognition alone probably sells a million units.
Or 1.9m in this case.
Damn... even idiots know that game sucks.
It must sting for the devs.
Lesson learned! You need a licenced character on the cover if you want idiots to buy it!
Which is weird, because when I was a kid, having movie/tv/comic tie in games usually meant a rushed/bad game, and thus should be avoided.
I guess LJN had to go out of business eventually.
Idiots will pre-order anything. There were probably a lot of sales before the controversy even started.
This right here.
I am sure a shit load of those sales were pre-release sales made by consumers that assumed the goodwill of Insomniac would translate to a win.
There is no reason to preorder a game especially on a platform that doesn’t regularly offer refunds.
Sony sell games now?
Doesn’t sound like it’s a bad game, it’s just not anything amazing
I won a copy so I will play it one day
How did you win it?
I work in the gaming industry, our studio has draws for new games, I have won other ps5 games previously
Well it is a game for idiots
I mean sometimes you want to just zone out and play something dumb. You don't get any gamer credibility but nothing wrong with having fun.
You're paying $60 (or is this 70?) for "something dumb", though. If there's no passion for it, why buy now? I might buy Sonic 06 for $5 and have a laugh, but at launch there's no way (even if Wolverine is less "bad" and more "easy", point still stands)
Well not me, I will pay about $5 for a shitty game with good graphics and/or a big open world map to explore.
Your "just have fun" stance ensures companies make poor quality experiences because people will still buy it. The capitalist love people that just want to zone out.
I understand your point but that feels a bit like a zero sum game.
If people like zone out action games, and those games are made and sell reasonably well, and people enjoy them... Isn't that fine?
Yeah maybe it's shit quality for the amount of money/talent behind it and it could have been better etc... But that feels a bit like people who play every cod version ever complaining about indie games having "bad graphics" or being too hard etc. They're different games for different audiences.
Let people have fun. Maybe even try it yourself.
a proud snob
You’re not because I’m not playing it.
Such a telling and disheartening message...
What does it tell you?
That you don't understand that the fun your referencing has a cost and the cost is paid by others in various ways. A lot of suffering involved with "fun".
What suffering? What are you talking about? Unethical sourcing of materials for consumer electronics??
This is a great example of misinterpreting what's being said with an emotional response.
“I like this thing and defend its faults, and anyone who is against it is disingenuous”
In this specific instance that statement is entirely accurate
Why do you have to be so toxic at all times?
Accurately identifying garbage isn't being toxic, you're just butthurt as usual
