I'm seeing a common thread in toxic 'fans' of games. They do not like the idea of 'casuals' enjoying the product, nor do they like deviations from the legacy of the product - but most notably, they can rarely create anything themselves so they make the product their identity.

It's surprising how seeing something you love reimagined for a new audience can lead to frustration instead of inspiration. Instead of channeling that energy into creating something new to fill the void, some just create rageful Tweets or YouTube teardowns.
@TheCartelDel This happens. But sadly a lot of folks can be devs who do that to, or creators themselves. It just happens. It is an odd human trait.
@TheCartelDel lol I just ignore those types of Fartcatchers.
@TheCartelDel It's wild to me. If you love a game you should want people to play it no matter their reason or how they found it. I decided to go back to 76 because of the show. Does it matter that I've played 3, 4 and NV? It shouldn't.
@TheCartelDel I understand the show will not be entirely faithful, but if people want to complain that it deviates from the Fallout universe as established by the games, that's perfectly fine. I have a few complaints myself. And I wrote a novel. amazon.com/New-Tokyo-Marc…
@TheCartelDel The modern audience won't care about it in the long run so the people who are the fans will continue to support because lets be honest most people just hop on the trend wagon and they forget it afterwards
@TheCartelDel Bc deviations that cater to casuals often kill what made the original product special. Like with WoW. Wanting to protect your hobby from dilution isn't toxic. I wouldn't insult consumers like that. Ofc 90%+ of all ppl on earth can't create good art of their own, that's normal.
