More over, where's the outcry to 'purge' iTunes for housing 'shitty music'? Where's the outcry to 'purge' Walmart because their movie sections house copies of Pixels?Drakmorg said:Should we also start trying to burn down physical game stores that still have unsold copies of The Order: 1886 while we're at it?
If you can tell that something is obviously horrid shovelware, just don't buy it. Why is this apparently a difficult concept to understand?
The (double) standards people are projecting here are just baffling.
Are we, though? Are we really?AccursedTheory said:Well, they already tried the 'Everyone In, Sort It Out Yourselves' approach, and look where we are now - Swimming in shit.
I know everyone keeps saying we are, and many keep pointing to Jim Sterling's ongoing escapades in finding and playing shitty Steam games[footnote]A prime example of confirmation bias.[/footnote], but are we really suffering under a deluge of shitty games? Are we being forced to buy and play the bad games? Have they taken away our ability to discern the bad from the good, to ignore what we dislike, and ask for a refund on the things we regret buying?[footnote]These questions aren't necessarily targeted at you. You're comment functioned more as a segue for me to pose them. Forgive me if they seem combative.[/footnote]
I guess I'm just not seeing the issue. The gaming industry has been "flooded" with shitty games since its inception. Anyone remember the early 90s? This 'problem' is hardly exclusive to Steam.
Oh no, not Jeff! Anyone but Jeff! That guy has no taste! He wouldn't know a good game from a UnitZ asset flip!DoPo said:Ah yes, I see the error of my ways now.
In this case, we should definitely institute a purge led by a brave individual, so let's all let Jeff decide what needs to go. Come on, Jeff - everybody is counting on you!
Might I suggest Stacy instead? She knows what makes for a good game. Plus, we could claim to be more 'inclusive' because we charged a woman with the task.
That'll show those dirty SJW types. Hmph!
