Patrick of GAMElitist.com - "So I’ve been mulling this over for a while now, and couldn’t decide if it deserved its own column, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it does because it is something that completely perplexes me. Why are console shooters acceptable but the moment someone likes an MMORPG you are reduced to a social status of ‘lolfag’. I mean, we all love games right? So why split hairs over genres that we enjoy?"
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
I think this is a growing problem in gaming. It's like some people have 'their preferences' and they instantly think anything that differs to them is rubbish.
It's like they can't seem to acknowledge that it's ok for different people to like different things.
I think it has more to do with ignorance , rather then time skill, or genre - haters just use those things for insults , as they'd pretty much use anything to differentiate you from them.
The other problem is that , it's the internet. People can act like a*holes under the cover on anonymity and not face any consequences for doing so.
So if you meet someone like that, just ignore them.
If their opinion's mean nothing to you , they can talk all they want - but you don't have to listen.
