If you don't like the game, stop playing it
The amount of people on this sub that straight up hate the game, do yourself and all of us a favor and just stop playing it. Gaming is supposed to be fun. If you're not enjoying it, stop just postin...

No doubt there is a fine line between constructive criticism on the one hand and naked hate on the other. I don't think very many of the people who post are seething with hatred. They're seething with frustration. And that's a horse of a different color. If they didn't love the game then they wouldn't bother to highlight its flaws. They'd just move on to some other game.
There's also the question of investment, and I'm thinking more of time than money, but in this game it could easily be either one if not both. It's hard to walk away from something you've put so much effort into. That causes frustration. Which causes rants. Which can look and sound suspiciously like hate. But which isn't. Yes? No?

- @reconzero Anyone that keeps playing due to sunk time or sunk cost isn't playing for the right reasons. I've got thousands of hours and dollars into Apex but have really cut back my Apex time because it's just not doing it for me any more.

"Anyone that keeps playing due to sunk time or sunk cost isn't playing for the right reasons."
Well said and very, very true... and yet here I am. Playing for what almost anyone would call "all the wrong reasons." Not that I'm that guy who starts three new posts on the same day to rant about the same thing. But "right reasons" can be hard to come by with a five year old game. At some point habit takes over. Personally, I'm a creature of habit and it's my habit to play this game. "Play" might be the wrong word. Maybe "inhabit," much to the annoyance of my teammates. And it isn't like I don't look out for new games. But there is nothing new. It's all the same old stuff with new graphics and new maps and new weapons and a new gimmick here or there. Still waiting for someone to come up with something NEW in gaming. I'll die waiting.- @reconzero You are playing due to boredom and lack of alternative. That's fine as long as you realize it and can live with it haha
- @reconzero Well said, I feel this is more accurate for the majority.
