Gamers have Stockholm Syndrome

It’s sad, depressing, but unfortunately entirely true. Cursory glances over pretty much any specific website or magazine shows that in spite of mistakes, issues, and problems presented by the creators of, in particular, the PS3 and Xbox 360, far too many people pretend like everything is hunky dory.

Whenever someone criticizes the choices by a developer for a console, it’s called flamebait by some. When they criticize the competition, it’s hailed as good and fair journalism, and things shouldn’t be that polarized. The unfortunately titled HipHopGamer Show suggested something that was actually decently written with fair points; only antagonistic in its subject matter, yet it was hailed as horrific and unprofessional journalism.
