Being Entitled Isn’t as Adorable as You Think

The word entitlement has been thrown around for years. Is it time gamers accept that some do feel they deserve too much?

[Razzer]

Being vocal does not mean being entitled. Are you being "entitled" by shaking your finger at gamers for expressing their opinion?

"How dare Blizzard not make the exact game they wanted?"

lol.....right, we should all pretend to be full of joy about Diablo Immortal then? Are you kidding? Guess what? Activision Blizzard is a multi-billion dollar operation. Cry me a river if I hurt their feelings, but I think these guys get enough of gamer's dollars to handle criticism. That is not being entitled. That is being truthful.

"But, since it’s on mobile, I guess those aren’t real gamers anyway?"

You missed the point. You think Blizzcon is a gathering of mobile gamers?

Guess again:

No. Blizzcon was not the place for that announcement. Blizzard clearly has lost touch with who its fanbase is. That is certain. Should we let them know or just shut the hell up and be "adorable"?

Pretty much every mobile game is set up to do one thing, nickle and dime you. It's not entitled to be disappointed at news of something like this, especially when you have those idiots on stage trying to make it out be this super amazing game we should all love. In his head, he is thinking "I'm making right fools of these mugs"........but it backfired, MASSIVELY.

Maybe, just maybe, gamers have had enough of the games industry treating them like nothing more than cash machines.

Could games journalists kindly f*** off already? If anyone is "entitled", it's them expecting to receive games, DLC, boosters, etc early and requesting codes for friends (e.g. KindaFunny). This is projection. Calling gamers entitled over this issue is as moronic as saying that game critics were just being entitled when Bethesda stopped giving them early copies of their games.

It's bad enough hearing journalists push the idea the video-games couldn't exist without micro-transactons - without a shred of evidence I'll add. Pro-corporate sellouts.

Are you saying that customers are entitled because they are asking this company to make a product that they want to spend money on?

[InTheZoneAC]

Completely ignorant article. I buy products based on what I like. I may have a history of buying the same products because they continue to offer what I like. If a company decides to destroy the product to reel in people who never cared and cast me aside then I won't continue to support them. Doesn't make me entitled at all. Gotta love these authors and publishers acting like they're entitled to shaming long time customers like they have a clue.

Who thinks being entitled is adorable? This article is trash.

[Hungryalpaca]

This is why I’ve stopped reading games journalists. They’re either telling gamers they’re bad and should feel bad or are on some social justice crusade to make everyone feel perfectly safe in their digital worlds!

I wish game devs would stop trying to please these people. It never works out good for them.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Don't click the link, it's part of this broad tactic that's been running for years to get hate clicks since google and facebook screwed the ad market, so now the only viable way to get any revenue is to make pieces like this to anger people. Just stop feeding them please.

[Parasyte]

I have a rule of avoiding CheatCC articles altogether

[DrShoe]

The only ones being entitled are large corporations who insist on nickel-and-diming their customers, and then think that their customers or fans can not criticize them.

[Parasyte]

Who keeps approving this trash?

[letsa_go]

Probably the same person downvoting all these comments!

[Xaevi]

if any are entitled it's these kiss ass journalists that defend all the stupidity of these publishers just to stay on their good side and continue getting free goodies in exchange for coverage and good reviews. you journalists aren't so adorable.

continue voicing your opinions people, none of these sites can silence you!

[Smokehouse]

You act like we get this shit for free lol. No we pay for these games, we have a right to voice our opinions. We have a right to demand quality product or we won’t buy it. When we don’t buy it the game flops. Are developers entitled to a good selling game? No. They have to earn their dollar by giving US product that WE want. It’s not “entitlement” it’s basic supply and demand. First grade economics. I don’t understand how pretty much every game journalist can get this wrong lol. Sounds like entitlement to me.

Entitled would be a journalist bitching that they don’t get review copies. Entitled would be a journalist acting like they know what they are talking about from their soapbox. Who do you speak for when you write articles like this? Who is your audience? Are you entitled to your website? Apparently because I don’t know how you still exist.

[raWfodog]

Well said. It's not as if Blizzard was giving these games away for free. Consumers paid for these games and Blizzard owes their success to those consumers. Now if they don't make a product that the consumers want, you can't consider the consumers to be 'entitled' simply because they expressed their dissatisfaction and don't want this mobile game.

[DedicatedDark]

Dck suking a company isn't as adorable as you think it is.

[AK91]

Perphaps the article writer needs to have a good hard look in the mirror before deciding others are being entitled or not.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Well, if you used to make high quality products that I like using, but then stopped making it or made a poorer quality substitute, I might complain, but I'm more likely to just not buy the product. Isn't this part of the reason why capitalism works?
