If you've been paying attention over the last couple years, there's always been something the internet gaming community is outraged at.
From online passes to "always online" drm, dlc, day one patches, micro transactions, unfinished games, etc, to now "loot boxes" being the current demon.
If you've paid further attention, you'd see that the outrage is conditional. Depending on the developer, publisher, and platform the outrage seems to change.
Kinda like how GTA can have pay to win DLC and nobody cares, but battlefield has it and "ea is the worst company on earth" yet Titanfall has none of that and doesn't get any credit for it.
Which brings us to Gran Turismo Sport
Gran Turismo can literally check off almost every outrage inducing feature.
Always online
Huge day one patch
Unfinished game
Promised features missing day one.
Cut content with plans to sell it back as DLC.
fukked up servers at launch leaving people with a useless disc.
Yet there's no outrage, even got "gamers" mad that reviewers aren't praising the game.
While Forza 7 is a complete game with more content than ever. More content than it's competitors. Purposely decided to NOT have any micro transactions until people are satisfied with the in game economy.
But all we heard around launch was outrage over "loot boxes". And Microsoft being "greedy"
What gives?
If all those outragable offenses are so bad, then shouldn't games like Titanfall and Forza get praise?
Why is "gamer" outrage so conditional?
