Hate or Love: Why Do Some Gamers React in Such Extremes?

Game Rant:

Much like the staff working for the company, the gaming world was hit with the unexpected news that, after 13 years in the business, popular gaming news site GameTrailers would be shutting down. It wasn’t the first time a staple of the news industry had shuttered in the last few years, and it likely won’t be the last, but even still our hearts go out to the entire GameTrailers staff and we hope they all land softly on their feet.

But beyond the surprising news of GameTrailers’ closure was the reaction shared across social media and in the comments of posts remembering the pioneer site. While plenty shared in the loss of such an institution, others responded with comments like “Good,” or “About Time.”
