Gamers are spoiled douchebags?

Whenever I read comments I can't help but get the idea that some gamers are just spoiled. Just look at the Black Ops 3 beta, people get the chance to play a game that hasn't been released yet and still they complain. For the last couple of days you didn't even need to pre-order the game, it was an open beta at that point and anyone could play. But still people aren't happy. I heard people whine that they wanted more time, they were upset that Xbox One and pc players would get everything unlocked in their beta (higher level cap and an extra map) while this isn't even certain because the beta for Xbox One and pc hasn't started yet. But that doesn't keep people from spewing their filth over eachother and the game.


Gamers are spoiled?


Absolutely! Just look at gamers now and at gamers from twenty years ago, I'm not saying people were saints then but at least it didn't create such a load of whining and complaining as it does now. But to be honest you didn't have youtube, Facebook and Twitter either so if people wanted to complain it was a bit harder to reach a large audience. These days it's simple, just go online and let it all out. I don't mind opinions and it makes perfect sense that not everyone has the same opinion, but some people seem to complain just to complain or annoy others. It doesn't matter what developers do, sometimes it just never good enough and that's why I want developers do their own thing and try not to get too much influenced by all the complaining and whining.


But not everyone is bad?


Of course not, but unfortunately it's the negativity that seems to always find the surface and people who have something meaningful or even something good to say that are difficult to spot in an ocean full of whiners and douchebags. That's why I encourage people to speak up when they have something meaningful to say, you don't have to kiss the ass of the developers but give an honest and helpful comment. You don't like the game? What is it you don't like? What could the developers do to make the game better? But it's not just people that make useless comments, also people that keep liking useless comments so they're always at the top of the mountain of comments. It's easy to follow others and be just another spoiled douchebag or you could try to be yourself and make up your own mind and give your own personal opinion if you really feel the need for that. But I guess it's easier to stand with the army of douchebags, safety in numbers and more of that type cowardly bullshit.


From bad to worse?


It seems we're going that way, because for some people it's not enough to be an asshole in the comment section. Some people feel the need to harass people that do like a game or threaten the developers just because they can. I really wish I could say that this is rare but it's not, because a lot of people seem to enjoy being negative a lot more than to be positive or at least helpful if they really do have complaints. Maybe that's the future, being a spoiled douchebag. I mean looking at all the things we have now as gamers it will probably be even bigger and (not necessarily) better in the future. But instead of saying why you hate something you could do something meaningful with your life or do you truly believe thousands of people are waiting for you to say what you think of a game? If that's so then you can also add deluded to the spoiled douchebag description!
