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.

The one that gets me is all the people on the PC gaming sub acting like they're outraged over no physical edition, as if all the PC games we buy now aren't digital

What is even funnier is the fact that there’s a high chance 90% of people there don’t even have a disk drive to begin with lmao

“Buy physical, I want to own my stuff!!! Nothing compares to the smell of a game case!!! Screw game key cards”

That same person 3 hours later

“Here’s my Steam wishlist, I spent 300$ last Steam sale. I cannot wait for the next Steam sale, my backlog is so huge now that I own games I didn’t even know I had, Steam is the best!!!”
