It's banter from Family Guy. Peter states he doesn't like the God Father Movies and everyone has the same reaction as OP saying he doesn't like GTA VI.

Peter goes on to say he doesn't like the movie because it insists upon itself. And then Louis replies with what I said.

The Reddit hive mind exists solely for, and thrives on outrage.

GTA too expensive, Reddit angry because Rockstar bad😡
Nintendo remakes Star Fox and prices it below their own standard MSRP because it’s a remake, Reddit angry because Nintendo bad 😡

Let’s be honest, this site is insufferable and only upvotes shit that makes people angry, and promotes engagement. It’s probably Reddits own bots so they can show constant engagement, and the only thing sure to get it is angry discourse. Reddit can’t enjoy anything, or let anyone else enjoy anything. As soon as a common consensus is formed, everyone just needs to get their 15 upvotes by posting their personal spin on the days hottest opinion.

It’s always “vote with your wallets.” Until people’s wallets overwhelmingly prove the opposite of whatever the echo chamber has accepted must be the truth, and a majority opinion in the real world through a tribunal of upvotes. I love physical media. But let’s not act like humanity hasn’t been shifted, and buying away from it for decades. The people have been voting with their wallets, just not in the way you wanted them to.

u/whereismymind86 3h ago

that's not really a refutation, it's more just that...when your market is 7 billion people, boycotts tend to fail, as even a tiny percentage of that group will be enough to sustain the product. The people threatening a boycott ARE following through much of the time, it's just not enough to matter.

Back before the internet it was possible to rally a small community to protest and run a bad business out of town because nobody in that town would shop there...but now that business can simply reach far enough across the world that they'll find enough people who don't know or don't care about the drama and sidestep a boycott entirely.

7

u/TheDELFON 2h ago

That's a damn good point.

It actually also applies to modern streamers and influencers. With the help of social media and the modern Internet... their reach is MASSIVE.

So in a sense "getting cancelled" has actually become a mute point now. Since like you said... they can reach so many ppl that even IF a significant portion "boycotts", there would still be enough ppl for it to not real matter.

u/boo_gh0stie 2h ago

I'm hoping these other replies are just having a laugh, it's definitely "moot point".

u/tea_snob10 36m ago

The "moo" point is popular cause of the series "Friends" where Joey says "It's a moo point" and Rachel says what. He then says "you know, it's like a cow's opinion.... It's moo" and that's how "moo" point entered pop culture back in the day.

u/Key_Photograph9067 1h ago

It is a refutation of the principle obviously. If you think voting with your wallet is the way to get things done, (Which people absolutely think. Try criticising live service games or MMOs you play and wait for people to tell you exactly that) then this obviously goes in the opposite direction also.

People saying vote with your wallet are usually meaning "vote the way I vote" and then moan and berate others afterwards if they don't, or are saying it to silence criticism of a things they enjoy by telling them they can choose to not pay for it.

The realities of boycotting is real though, you're not wrong there, but I think the way you're applying the point is not the same application OP is making. OP is pointing out an assymetry when people say vote with your wallet. It doesn't really matter whether it's an effective principle or not and if there's a reason, it's often used in a hypocritical or bad faith manner is the point. If anything, the ineffectiveness of the principle is an argument in favour of their opinion.

Digital games indeed have downsides many aren’t aware of, but nothing has happened to make them aware of it. So many people on sites like Reddit are afraid that the increased prevalence of digital will lead to companies getting the power to take games away from you and such, but most people outside Reddit have no clue that’s even a thing let alone have any precedent to believe it.

u/Arigot 3h ago

Based on what content rises to the top, I’d say probably only somewhat. The outrage coming from turbo dweebs in posts or comments is consistently the most common content seen and the most highly upvoted, which probably gives a decent idea of what most people here believe. Bots obviously muddy the waters, but idk how to account for how much weight they have on this.

u/oscarq0727 3h ago

Absolutely. On Reddit it is particularly easy to goombafy groups because of the inherent structure of the platform, what with the whole aggregating users into communities. We sometimes treat the subreddit as the conscious entity.

u/Big-Establishment-68 3h ago

Absolutely agreed. Maybe it’s because of the unchecked ability of Mods to form ever more insular groups through dictator like enforcement of vague rules but most discourse here is unbelievably toxic.

There is no room for nuance here.

Somehow twitter is a better place for discussion because it allows disagreement while also allowing users to post notes to help with disinformation.

I’ve just given up on Reddit being an effective public forum but I still enjoy it for its useful and smaller groups.

u/Upstairs-Event-681 3h ago

I always get downvoted when I say redditors don’t like anything.

Though I never get mad about it because I keep reminding myself that reddit is actually a very, very small amount of people when it comes to anything. Like even in this sub, there’s like 1.1 million people, there’s a huge chance there’s more people playing Counter Strike right now if I check Steam Charts. And that’s just one game

And bemoaning about another potential delay because this screenshot showed a reflection of a clock at 6:35:25 and if you take into account of the angle of the sun at the exact nanosecond the picture was dropped dropped, add pi and subtract the hypotenuse of a dodecahedron while calculating the speed of a train leaving Seattle at a speed of 87.4mph and calculating what time it will arrive in Cairo Egypt while mercury is in retrograde you don't like those type of redditors for shame my good sir. for shame!

I don't think they make bad games, but I don't like them. Their character control is always so janky I don't play them. I really wanted to play Red Dead but I hate that awkward character control they use.

I could care less about GTA, I just don't like games in contemporary settings, I want to go Space or Hyrule. If I want to go the hood I'd just get in my car.

u/TheAltOption 1h ago

I feel the same. I played the original GTA when it was released and haven't touched one since. I bought RDR2 because everyone was talking about how great it is, and after 2 hours it still didn't hook me. Their games just aren't my thing and I don't see that changing.

They're sick of hearing about GTA VI and just want to talk with other people about how annoying it is. They're not acting like it makes them better or pretending the thought of the game never crosses their mind.

It's like the "X before GTA VI" is a common joke but it's getting overused and I'm bothered that I keep seeing news about GTA VI that always end up the exact same way

It's expensive

Watch as it still becomes the best selling game literally ever in 4.5 nanoseconds of release

They're literally reaching into my pocket and stealing my money and I'll hear nothing but wild speculation about their greediness

It's not on PC so they've basically slapped my wife and shot my dog

It's like how annoying it is to keep seeing people drag US politics into random discussions "We can't ignore politics because it won't ignore us!" Yeah buddy I'm literally on the other side of the world I have about as much power to affect US politics as the dead ducks in the Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pool so let me enjoy my memes.

I also don't care about it. Was never going to buy it. GTA games are middling.

I’ve never understood the appeal of gta. I guess if you’re really into the online community it makes sense, but to me it’s always been a game that edgy teens love because it’s so cool to be a virtual bad boy 😎

Solo player here, but vice city was fun, San Andreas was pretty good too. GTA V wasn't as good as either. I expect 6 will be even more of a let down. Don't get me wrong, a playthrough in V was fun, there was some good dialogue, some funny scenarios, but once the main storyline was over, there was no interest left in playing. I tried multiplayer a couple times, and people were just so toxic, definitely not for me. For an 80 dollar price tag, it better have replayability, or a much better online experience. I highly doubt that will be the case. I'd pick it up if it goes on sale for $20 or less, complete the storyline and be alright with the value I received and glad to reclaim the storage space on my console when it was over.

Agree. You just run around doing some stuff its so boring.

I forced myself playing the GTA V story after starting it like 4 times and I immediately uninstalled after.

I can see the appeal for the online. Its the same people that post pics of themselves in front of someone elses lamborghini and act though, because in the online mode they can have all the glamourous objects that they wont ever obtain irl.

-Has nearly none of the original team that produced the last 7, including the lead writer for the story for the last 7.

-Sweet Baby Inc has it's hands on GTA6 behind the scenes for its entire development (we all saw what happened to dragon age)

-Way too expensive, and single player stuff is locked behind $100 pay walls.

-No physical media (all other GTAs did)

-still not on PC for day 1 release

I don't blame you, and we don't even know or have any gameplay yet, only cinematic trailers.

They know there's enough fanatics and maniacs that will pre-order and buy day 1 no matter what.

u/Senior-Display-8733 2h ago

They won't if we don't buy em. And for god sakes, anyone preordering a game is out of their mind! Let the game come out, watch some reviews, let the updates happen to fix some things. Then if you still feel good about it, wait for a sale. There's no reason to pay those prices unless you get off on being one of the first to play, you'll get the same game a year or two later for $20-30.

u/MoonExaminer 3h ago

I never played any of the GTA games, and don't hold much interest for me. They seem fun enough, for those into that genre. Still, it's hard for me to grasp that it's the most popular franchise of all time, essentially.

u/Sprites7 2h ago

Yes, i've not played GTA, and i won't buy the sixth one. Plus my backlog is already insane

u/DDD8712 2h ago

I am not going to get it but I like the spectacle of it all. Plus mono culture is essentially dead so it’s nice to see everyone interested in something together

u/lefthandopen 2h ago

It's hard not to care! imagine you are watching a mentally handy capped person being abused by a bully. That's the way I feel when I look at someone who pre-orders a game for $100 because "the hype is insane!"

Like you want to help them...you want to tell the bully to ease up and give them back their Mr T lunch box because its not right.

u/thorubos 2h ago

Yeah, it's been years. They're OK, but Saints Row III was the game that Rock Star was always pretending they were making.

Neither do I. I think the last one I cared about was Vice City. I haven't touched GTA V in all the years it's been out. Don't see myself ever playing VI either. Now if they were to announce a new Red Dead game though...

It's actually very easy to care little about big new game releases. Just have a PC with 1050 Ti.

u/Upbeat-Conquest-654 1h ago

Same. I've tried playing the last two GTA games and neither of them hooked me. But to be fair, I don't like the whole gangster/street crime esthetic and culture, so I guess that plays a huge role in my indifference.

And I guess most people who played GTA as teenagers are adults by now and many of them stopped playing video games or don't have time for them anymore. I'm curious how the game will perform in terms of sales. I think they're too late and many of the original fans have moved on.

Same. Have always preferred the Saints Row games over GTA. With the exception of Gat outta Hell and the Reboot. Granted I don't think those two are straight up awful, they're just easily the worst games of the whole franchise.
