p.s. Bojay, Frankie gave you a whole bunch of reasons there and you chose to just ignore them. Super awesome debating tacticalness!
Incorrect. He simply provided a laundry list of complaints he has seen people make around the Internet in regard to the game industry. My challenge to him was to offer even one solid example of a company that has been negatively impacted financially or unable to continue producing games as a result of people posting negative things on the Internet. He wasn't able to provide even one. My conclusion is that's because his premise is fundamentally flawed. I also believe, on the contrary, that there is plenty of positive stuff written about games and the industry but that he is simply focused on the negative because it sticks out more prominently because it's the exception and not the rule.
