Fanboys- Why you shouldn't care

A Yahtzee quote:

“Fanboys are… perplexing. Sure, there are franchises that I really enjoy. But I’d never pretend they were perfect or scream the house down if they made any attempt to evolve. They’re people with so little going on in their own lives that they latch onto the things they enjoy and place them on unfathomable pedestals because it’s the only thing they can find to be passionate about.

I suspect that this is what happens when an entire civilization has too much time on their hands. That’s the problem – modern society has no real struggle, so importance gets misplaced. Sixty years ago we’d just fool them all into going to get shot by Germans.”


In my second blog, I will talk about fanboys- and why you should honestly ignore them.

It's a waste of time-Seriously, think of what you are doing for a second. Just for a sec. You are arguing over the internet about what toy that lets you press buttons to move imaginary objects onscreen is the best around. Some unfortunate soulds wind up like this guy (who is joking, but for sake of example):

Seriously, a girlfriend walks in to see you doing this, you know what her reaction will be?

?_?

It makes you depressed- Seriously, when you enjoy a purchase, it isn't fun to come on the internet and listen to people badmouth it. You'll come away feeling sad and depressed, and feel like you're in the league of every other asshole whenever you turn on your console.

They won't listen to you- They don't care about your opinion, so you shouldn't care about them.

It's exclusive to the internet- Those who argue like this in real life have very little friends and bad social skills. Talking in real life about it will result in an intelligent discussion, due to the fact that you are directly communicating with a living being instead of blocks of text.

The masses really don't care- See above post

Hope you enjoyed. I'm planning on quitting N4G in a while, unless things let up.

Why wait? If it is bothering you so bad, leave now. Don't whine about it in a blog then hang around to see what happens.

Otherwise, turn a mature cheek, look past it, and move on with life...

danthaman156025d ago

I made it as an honset list of reasons to not care, but sorry if it sounds like whining. Yeah, I'm gonna leave. Peace out y'all!

HolyOrangeCows6025d ago

They don't budge, can't hear, and don't leave their room :P

It's best to get a good laugh at their expense and move on.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
