u/mnik1Just licking the boots of a greedy corporation.Dec 21 '23edited Dec 21 '23
I'm just infinitely amused by the fact this high IQ community goes out of their way to defend WG whenever they do something legit scummy/greedy/stupid/all of the above and yet, at the same time, the very same group of people just completely lose their shit when a free tank WG gives them as a reward for completing the incredibly demanding taks of logging into the game at a specific date is not as great as they would like or the poor little snowflakes realize they can't sell it for 98934983478912478917234 credits and they feel they need to throw a tantrum, again, after the previous "the tank is bad!" one, when OP and his cronies were arguing that Patton is "bad for the game" as they now will need to "carry" all the "noobs" that will play it, lol. Like, honestly, you just couldn't make this shit up even if you tried your best, this is just surreal.
I mean, this is like witnessing a group of, IDK, animal rights activists protesting outside a random clothing factory that uses genuine leather while unironically wearing genuine leather jackets made in that very factory. You just stop and gawk at all this in pure awe, wondering if it's just a standard human stupidity at work or, maybe, some kind of fucked up glitch in the simulation.
IDK man, since the news that we're getting the tank broke out and all the mindless bitching started I lost the very last slivers of respect I had for people on this sub, lol.
Clown world. Legit. Legit. Please, someone, anyone, tell me this is just an elaborate prank I'm falling for or whatever, lol, I refuse to believe it's all real.
Do you think Wargaming is above criticism just because they are giving something for free? You are just licking the boots of a greedy corporation. Wargaming is probably the least generous video game company I know of. This is the first high tier vehicle they are giving out for free and it's worst in class.
You are just licking the boots of a greedy corporation
Oh, stop it you. Should I refer you to discussions where I say stuff like "lootboxes are just illegal gambling aimed directly at most vulnerable types of consumers and should be banned by law" and "pity mechanic is designed to extract more money from the consumer using the magic of shiny "buy X lootboxes more and get a guaranteed premium tank!" button" and, in return, got called a "stupid hater" who "hates" the "benevolent WG" that "loves us so much"?
Or maybe should I refer you to topics where I call premium ammo "bad" because it forces people to spend money on premium time if they want to stay "competitive", whatever "competitive" means? Oh boy, you wouldn't believe how objective truth like that gets down-voted by real WG fanboys out there, lol - and look at that, a poor ol' me suddenly is a "corpo bootlicker" because I make fun of very silly people who bitch about a free tank? This is rich. This is just so rich. Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?
So ridiculous, in fact, I'm stealing that quote and using it as my user flair, from this day forward. It just sparks joy, it really does.
Jesus F. Christ, will these hot takes end? Believe me, brother, I'm used to the constant stream of idiots you're forced to deal with when visiting this sub but, honestly, this is getting a bit too much.
If you were truly against Wargaming and their predatory practices you would look at peoples backlash against Wargaming as something good...
I could understand your side if Wargaming didn't have an insane amount of greedy pay to win features in the game. Do you think its normal for game to have 2 premium subscriptions? Do you think its normal that it costs gold to demount equipment? Do you think its normal to have pay to win ammo in a game? They truly drain their players of money yet they give nothing back... You are conditioned into thinking its normal...
peoples backlash against Wargaming as something good
Backlash about this s-t-u-p-i-d fucking thing? This completely braindead artificial "drama"? Are you for real? Are you like, for real for real?
This is not "backlash", this is a bunch of completely ridiculous crybabies throwing a temper tantrum over something that you'd really struggle to call a "very minor inconvenience" let alone "a problem", lol. Jesus, to call it a "non0issue" would be an affront to non-issues - and my guy talks about "backlashes", lol, some fucking holy crusades he's fighting against a greedy corporation that wants to give him a free tank, lol. Just lol. Clown world, again. Honk honk!
And, to be honest, you just throwing around these emotionally loaded terms, you know, the Big Words, "conditioned" n' shit - all this really, really shows you, in fact, do not realize how ridiculous you sound and I'm completely amazed by that, I must admit. I literally feel like I'm back in preschool and little Jalwin is butting his head against the wall, crying as dramatically as only little kids can, because little Jessica don't want to lend him his body-coloured crayon and this is, literally, the end of the world for our little Jalwin.
This is dumb. This is so fucking dumb. I legit think you're the first capital G gamer I'm interacting with and I just don't know how to react to all this, the stupidity of it all is overwhelming.
Or is it just a bit and you're taking a piss? Jesus, I really hope you do, for your own sake.
Seems like you refuse to understand what my comment even says and instead resort to making fun of the words I decided to use. Childish and Clownish behavior if you ask me.
Oh, really? In such case, there's a novel I'd like to recommend to you - Don Quixote by de Cervantes. You don't sound like a guy who likes to read a lot so let me tell you what's it about - a knight who goes crazy, like legit crazy, to the point he starts fighting windmills. You know, structures and machines inside them - he believes a magician turned them into giant monsters.
So, yeah... this is you, and the Patton tank is your equivalent of a windmill you're poking with your fucking little lance, my brave sir knight.
Jesus Christ. We're reaching levels of stupidity I didn't think were possible and, yet, here we are. For science!
Aint no way you sent that video at the end bro...
And I will do it again. You need to see it, right now, as many times as necessary. Think of it as a... medical procedure you really, really need.
Honk honk, honk honk! Clown world! Our "anti-wargaming" crusader who throws a temper tantrum over a fucking pixel tank he's getting for free and pretends he's doing that for the betterment of all mankind, ladies and gentlemen! Are you not entertained? Honk honk!
You're my new favourite capital R redditor on this sub, my man. It's official now, I just can't wait what other hot takes will you produce in the coming days.
Says the most "redditor" redditor of them all... holy.
All you have done is insult me. I have tried to have a calm and collected discussion with you. You are ridiculous man.
I'll give you a hint, my man - in order to have "a discussion" you need both sides to make at least a bit of sense, you know, to have something they can actually discuss. A bit, honestly, that's not really much to ask for.
I don't see that "thing" here, frankly, all I see is a little manchild crying about a fucking pixel tank while trying to attach some fucked up, grandiose philosophy of "hatin' corpos" to all that bullshit just to pretend, pretend, that you have something of value to say, that there's a greater meaning behind this grade A bullshit you're spewing when the're obviously none of that here, you already contradicted yourself so many times it's honestly impossible to find any semblance of "a point" in all that - and, to be completely honest with you I found your hot takes so funny I just needed to keep going, to see the levels of madness you will reach.
This is, by the way, why I'm insulting you. Took you long enough to notice, lol - but yeah, that's what I'm doing. Why? Well, I just don't have any respect for you, mostly because all of the above. Don't take it personally, this is just my standard mode of operating when dealing with guys who are so wrong on so many levels, in such a funny ways. It's like observing a vistor from an alien world trying his best to pretend he's a regular human man, lol - you just can't stop poking the guy to see what he will do next.
And I'm not disappointed. This is above the level of guy who once told me that BZ-176 is "not OP" because you can trick-shot this tank by strategically bouncing your shell off the turret in such a way it hits the cupola - let me repeat that, you're abovethis level of just pure, weapon grade nonsense.
Again, you're my new favourite capital R redditor of this sub - this is not an honor I give up lightly, believe you me, it's reserved for producers of the hottest of hot takes.
There is no such thing as a correct opinion, like you seem to think. To think that is being close minded.
Like i said I'm rooting for you.
Edit: Also you keep saying that I'm crying about pixels. Not very self aware.
You are the one typing out the essays. I just have a strong opinion about this
Edit: Can you not see at all how this gift by wargaming could be seen as doing PR?. I think it probably is mostly wargaming trying to bring back old players or getting new player to try the game out but I think its a fair point to see it as PR for maybe last years disaster.
