Boycott!

by Gus Mastrapa | 4. June 2009 07:50 | permalink
The abuse has gone on long enough. Sensible gamers have had indecency upon indecency heaped upon them and now it is time to react. With recent announcements regarding the Left 4 Dead, Rock Band, Metal Gear Solid and dozens of other beloved franchises the furor or outraged fans has snowballed into a cacophony of self-righteous complaint. It's time for those voices to cease being heard. I'm am officially calling for a boycott of all crazy video game fans -- those angry that Rock Band isn't a platform any more, those disappointed that Left 4 Dead 2 came out so quickly, those frustrated that Metal Gear Solid games will be playable on the Xbox 360. I propose that all sensible, decent human beings enact an across-the-board boycott of these deranged fans. Cease speaking and listening to these buffoons. Give them no more notice than you'd give a homeless guy with his pants around his ankles. Block them on message boards. Disconnect from them on social networks. Don't turn the steering wheel if they're in the middle of the road. Crispy Gamer is proud to host the first boycott officially rejecting these morons. Please join us and help make the world a better place by signing your name in the comments below.

    @dr_anomaly:

    I think some people spend more time bitching than they do playing.

    I still play World of Warcraft, but I stopped reading the official forums about a year ago. My enjoyment of the game has increased as a result. I support this boycott.

    Yeah! I was starting to think I was less of a videogame fan because I couldn't think of enough things to be furious about. I'm glad to see that I can play games without hating them.

    Also, pantsless hobos are great and should not be taken lightly.

    I was reading some comments about L4D 2 and MGS around the internet and I have to agree. Some gamers are just nuts. BTW how can you be a sell-out if you work for a corporation? Does Kojima publish his own games? Didn't he sell out the minute he signed a publishing deal with Konami (many years ago), by that kind of logic?

    Who cares what platforms Rising is on? Who cares if Left 4 Dead 2 is too soon (really, people? too soon?)

    It's all just a bunch of noise.

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
