This is disgusting

As we learned looking more closely at this issue when it hit the gaming community full-force in 2014, many of these provocateurs - perhaps even most - are not even The Sims players. Eco Lifestyle was announced on gaming media across the industry, and the kind of gamer who disparages The Sims (and we know who they are) would see that, and the environmental focus, and make an 8-Chan beeline to harass and troll.

Yes, it's disgusting.

But it's different only in degree, not in kind, to Simmers here who make sweeping allegations about development, accuse the developers of laziness, shoddy work, inattention to the community, or indifference to bugs. No one goes into game development for fame and fortune. They are there because they love games, and THIS game particularly, and they really are doing their very best to give us the most entertaining gameplay they can.

Harassment on Twitter etc. is appalling. But the rudeness I see here is also a concern - and it's something we, here, can do something to curtail.

I doubt anyone who doesn't play the sims cares about the 100th dlc for it.

One would think so, but no. The kind of "gamer" talked about (there as a certain hashtag going around in 2014 that "had to do with fairness in gaming journalism" (translation: personally attack any developer that had an "SJW" agenda such as female protagonists not half naked or having openly gay protagonists as well as quite oplenly trying to force female gaming journalists and female game developers to quit their jobs, often by publishing their IRL addresses on the net and post death threats or "SWAT" them)) very much would post fake reviews or deliberately feed the negative voices about any game he (always a he) has never played if it fits his agenda of anti-progress.
