Yah that article isn't really about Ready Player One, it just uses it as a jumping off point. And I agree with it. Gamers, honestly, by and large, they're a-holes. Even though I spend a good portion of my free time playing games and an unhealthy amount of time thinking about them, I don't identify as a 'gamer'. It has a certain implication that you're a certain type of neckbeard for whom the fact that they play video games is in their minds their defining trait.

[MENTION=960]Lebowski[/MENTION] Dogg is right, it's not criticising RPO, but noting how fanbases have changed in the time between the time of the book and film. It's an interesting article but it's not having a go at RPO.
Maybe it's because we're mainly decent sorts on here we struggle to understand Gamergate?
I liked Ernest Cline's last book, but it's a lot simpler than RPO and definitely not as good. It's not a sequel, it's a completely different story.

similar things have happened in the past between platform exclusives on xbox360 and ps3 with massive swaves of negative reviews showing up on critically acclaimed platform exclusives, that are clearly just angry fanboys spamming their rivals platform in some sort of review war, I remember Halo 3 having thousands of 0's when it first came out, as did The last of us.Last edited by Lebowski; 10-04-2018, 10:09.
