I hate this game because everyone else does; am I cool yet, guys?

Does it bother anyone else to have people just hate something they never tried just to "fit in" on message boards or even in oher games?

It's like these people have no friends other than where they play or like to spend time online and follow a trend just to be part of their "click" or whatnot.

With me, I tend to play games that have both a huge fanbase and hatebase of a game just to see if either side is well founded. Though, there are cases in which one is more so well off than the other.

Take for instance if a game isn't that great but people claim it to be so just to get rid of another game they hate? There are people who post long enduring messages saying their dislikes and others who don't even read it just say "ur an idiot" or some such sort and don't explain what they like about it or make a rebuttle that's even half way acceptable.

Then there are those who keep on saying a game sucks and "troll" or mass flood forums just to make the people who play it live's miserable despite them just being a part of a social click in which such an action makes them "cool".

This is just an interesting phenom in today's gaming world; though it is most prevailent in computer gaming it seems. What with a good amount of people pirating copies of games or making pirate servers of popular online games ("private"? please; it's only private if it's acknowledged by the source who owns it and independantly operated by another entity that has the approval of said owned source). Well, the morality of online gamers isn't too surprising when such people like this are a part of a faceless community.

It seems that morales and integrity mean nothing when playing an online computer game nowadays.
