Yes. Thank you. I am aware of the E3 debacle. And people were in their rights to complain about it. I complained about it. That was a reasonable reaction to a bad situation.
But we both know that at this point, long after policies have been reversed and 24 hour check ins are a thing of the past, this is not consumer outcry. It's fanboy circle jerking for the sake of keeping the hate going. You could post an article about Microsoft funding no-kill animal shelters and half the comments will be "XBONE IS CRAP!" replies.
I know this is the internet, I know everything is crap and it all sucks and blah blah blah. I just figured that it would die down by now to the point where reasonable people could have a conversation.
These days, I play a little personal game where I go onto the comments section for every Xbox One article here on the Escapist and count the number of posts it takes for someone to offer their incredibly original and fresh take on how this new revelation makes the Xbox One console objectively terrible, or how they're "still not going to buy it".
I don't usually get very far!
