That ain’t no way to treat a single malt.

    I think people are valid in their venting of frustrations.

    This isn’t frustration entirely against this game or even just Bethesda. We’re humans, we’re complicated and have loooooots of things that influence our attitudes and behaviors.

    The frustration you see is likely part of frustrations that are held with lots of commodities we seemingly pay more and more for and get less and less from.

    It’s not just Bethesda, the frustration is much larger than that and to try and downplay that is just ignorant of peoples lives and the bigger picture itself (in my opinion of course)

      @stevedidWHAT I get being frustrated, although like you say, seems this is a much bigger problem than- I’m shocked by the way the gaming industry treats its customers and what those customers put up with. Feels more like a junkie/pusher relationship than an entertainment industry.

      But honestly, issues with games are very much a rich people problem, akin to getting all worked up over the quality of Starbucks coffee. No one’s playing Starfield on an inexpensive device.

        You did it again man

        You generalized the frustrations to being only with the game industry.

        It’s generalized frustration with being constantly ripped off, so because people are already feeling that, of course they’re going to speak up about specific instances.

        And your last point, again, getting ripped off is a problem everyone deals with. Rich or poor. If seeing too many opinions is a problem to you, maybe you should get off the internet. Don’t try to make this someone else’s problem.

        If you don’t want to hear everyone’s opinions, you don’t have to, but that doesn’t mean they’re invalid or somehow “not a real problem” because they don’t align with your lifestyle or opinions.
