This has nothing to do with the shitstorm (it mostly hit Arrowhead anyway), and I think the review bombing didn’t affect their decision making that much. What I think happened was, Sony saw the massive refunds. They got hit right into the wallet 😩
During the last ‘election summer’ things went haywire but ultimately nothing meaningful really happened, and not a whole lot really changed as a result of that unrest. This time things are going haywire again, and it seems like something big will happen but people thought that the last time… Would it just be better to...
Stay informed. When you feel like the news make you depressed, or even worse you start doomscrolling, take a break. There is a German word called Weltschmerz. It’s the pain you feel when the world seems to go to shit. It is a depressing form of dissatisfaction. I had this the last time when US and allies withdrew from Afghanistan and we left the people who helped us to die. The pictures of desperate people falling from planes still haunt me to this day. Then Russia invaded Ukraine and I doomscrolled for a couple of weeks.
I am not willing to sacrifice my mental health for this. So I cut news from my feed but I still read them every couple of days. Blissful ignorance can also not be accepted. I think the way I do it is a good compromise.
Nerd Rage has never accomplished anything. It hurts the wrong people and the best part is, the companies will continue to flourish, this includes the guilty ones. Gamers are some of the least consequential people on this planet after all. It is absolutely ok to vent your frustration and demand a refund. Voting with your wallet is a great way actually. But going for a community manager is just cruel and childish.

The first is of a press interview with a police officer captioned “Cops: Treat us with the same dignity and respect that we treat you.” The second is of a protestor about to attack a downed police officer with what appears to be a hockey stick, captioned “OK”.

Sein Ziel sei gewesen, “den russischen Streitkräften vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen politischen Lage einen Vorteil zu verschaffen”. Vor Gericht sagte der Berufssoldat aus, dass ihn die Angst vor einer nuklearen Eskalation des Ukraine-Krieges angetrieben hat. Deshalb wollte er seine Familie noch rechtzeitig in Sicherheit bringen. Er sei vom baldigen Einsatz taktischer Atomwaffen ausgegangen. Für die rechtzeitige Information, “wann es knallt”, habe er Kontakt zur russischen Seite gesucht. “Ich habe nur diesen Weg gesehen”, so der Soldat am vor Gericht.
Eigentlich habe ich weder ein Bild noch eine Meinung zu unserer Bundeswehr. Aber wenn so ein Pfosten Offizier werden kann, muss es ja mal richtig scheiße drum stehen.
That’s one thing I hated so much about reddit. People thinking they know it better even though they don’t know shit. Also some people made fun about him making too many comments for their liking. It’s despicable behaviour from pathetic menchildren.
