This is exactly how Eric Barone felt, despite knowing in his heart that he had made something special to him. This is how he thought Stardew Valley would he received. The general gaming community are such cunts.
The reason is, the people who like to leave reviews are cunts. Source: I hardly ever review anything, because I’m not a cunt. When I do review, it’s to a small busines (buzzword alert), and it’s always because the service was excellent.
This is a great point. I am also like this both in real life and on the internet. I don’t leave bad reviews. I only leave good ones when they are merited. My wife and I once found a bad review on Badlands National Park for the site being “too hot”.
Yep. I abandoned r/gaming when I still participated in Reddit. Avoid discord game server lobbies. Have text chat and voip disabled in competitive gaming. Gamers have always been real douches, from game criticism to shitting on other players for any reason whatsoever, so if one wants to enjoy a game it’s best to stay away from the “community” at large and stick with friends or a known group. Community in quotes because there really isn’t one, just mostly a rabble of haters and tryhards mixed in with a lot of people just trying to have some fun.
Other hobby spaces are no less than that.
Not suprisingly, i enjoyed all my little hobbies 10× more offline. In the end while i improved on other technical sides, my philosphy got simpler.
Ideally, ‘if it fits i sit’ for cats if you get what i’m saying.
Just don’t take the losers on the internet seriously and you’re good to go.
Always keep in mind that a good deal of the people you come across on forums and social media are chronically online. They can’t function in the real world with real consequences, so they are stuck acting like an idiot to strangers.
Which is weird because there were hundreds of thousands of fans of OG Harvest Moon who wished Natsumi would make a SNES like OG harvest moon and they just wouldn’t listen. I am so happy Eric Barone made bank and I look forward to The Haunted Chocolatier making bank for him too.
Ok sure. There are for sure games left in the space.
Oh wow “my heart is really in it” so it will work. No. This is survivorship bias. There are a ton of passionate people who turn out a product that is ok or worse and get their milkshake drunk / lose everything.
This is like saying “yeah drop out of college. Bill Gates did it.”. You could totally be the next windows or apple or facebook… Or you could actually produce some mid tier thing you’re really invested in and not have parents ready to kick in 50k or so and just fail. 🤷
Cube world failed because the online negativity got to the dev, who also struggled with other things.
But it was ok.
Lesson learned, let’s not be assholes nust because you don’t deem something as worthy.

The reason is because; the general community aren’t the nerds that made gaming fun

Oh, there a good one complaining that a mountain was too tall, steep, and didn’t service food.
I mean… There’s plenty of positive reviews on steam and HK. Obviously a lot more than negative ones.
I for one would call Team Cherry a small business with excellent service
Pfft. I had to wait 7 years for my order.
Also those who enjoyed the game are busy playing to write a review
i will leave an immediate review, if the product is terrible, and it has alot of those around.

Only exception is TF2, you get insulted a lot but the funny moments and unexpected wins make it worth it

Yes. The internet is a huge part of this issue.

What the fuck, no? How are you getting that out of this comment? Where does this comment encourage people to quit their day job?
