Seriously. Why do gamers spend thousands of hours on games they hate. Life’s full of shit to do. Go play something else. Or, God forbid, touch some grass. Why waste the little time you have on earth doing something you don’t like.
Why do gamers spend thousands of hours on games they hate.
It’s because that “hate” comes from a place of love, and isn’t really hate at all. From the outside, it can be hard to understand, but the people who hate certain games the most are usually the biggest fans. They hate seeing squandered potential when something they love gets ruined by updates.
They don’t hate the game, itself. They love the game, and they love what it could be under different circumstances. They love the memories they’ve had with the game, the connections they’ve made, the experiences they’ve shared. The “hate” they seem to have isn’t really hate at all; it’s passion. They love the game and want to see it in a better state. That’s why they’re so hyper critical, because they care the most.
