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 because; the general community aren't the nerds that made gaming fun

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".

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
