    The thing is this:

    The people playing on easy don’t get angry when they’re called easy-goers, this is not about their ego for them.

    But the “I’m the most manly man of them all, I only play on the hardest difficulty!”-types will instantly have their overinflated egos implode when you call them out like that. And you’ll have your game shitstormed by incels.

      And you’ll have your game shitstormed by incels.

      Give it a couple of weeks and they’ll be distracted by some movie with a woman lead in it, and it will all blow over.

        True, just cast Lupita Nyong’o in any movie and they’ll forget all about the game.

        also free advertising, having shitheads publish videos of themselves turning red from talking about your game makes the kind of person who frequents 196 go “lmao based let’s buy the game out of spite”

          Seriously all the chuds bitching about the “girlboss” character they added for the new prequel missions in Halo: Campaign Evolved just highlighted that there were new prequel missions.

          (Although actually most of the dipshits I’ve seen complaining about her didn’t actually play so they don’t know that she’s not part of the standard campaign, so they’re saying things like, “The game was already good, they didn’t need to add a new woke character.”)

              Those controversies are pretty baseless, the one thing she genuinely did wrong was providing graphics for shoe0nhead and Blaire White, but she says she didn’t know what those stood for at the time and honstly, they can be deceiving.

        True true. You definitely get a relaxed fanbase with a good ability to take some irony and self-mockery like that. You just also will always have an army of haters turn up wherever someone expresses personal joy in your game online.
