I agree. One could try very, very hard to "bad-mouth" something. Just pretend to be blind towards the positive sides. Just pretend they just aren't there. None at all.

I think this is just the result of bitterness, bad experiences, or whatever. I can try very hard and say that Drakensang is a totally buggy game, that is just a point of how hard I try it so.

Me, I'm buying games I want to enjoy.

Therefore I lower my expectations.

I have often fared very well with that kind of attitude. Often I could even enjoy a mediocre game, just by focusing myself in the positive points that were important to me.

I have sometimes the feeling that the younger generations are demanding too mnuch.

"Give me *everything* now, in best condition, with the lowest price and hand it over to me NOW ! Or I'll cry out and tell everyone how bad you and your product are !"

In principle, this is nothing but blackmail.

Think about it. Maybe in 20 years you'll see things different. If you can wait until then. And maybe you'll see then, how the attitudes and the bahaviour of many gamers have just BEEEPED up the whole gaming industry.

This is what I believe right now.
