why do all video game "fanbases" have a few bad actors that try to redflag or soil people's experiences? some examples of this is
>E33
>Devil May Cry
>FFXIV
>FFVII R
>TWEWY
Most people on here aren't even really fans of the game but they use it to shitpost and cause fanbase wars with other franchises. what's even the end goal here?

/v/ mods haven't banned anyone for "fanboying, trolling, or flamewars" since inception unless it involves very specific games.

t. incites fanboyish trolling flamewars

They ensure that long-term word of mouth isn't viable, so companies continue to invest heavily into marketing firms for the first couple of weeks surrounding the release and bank on making their money there. After long enough people will even start to do this on their own.

I got a 3 day ban awhile back in a weekly famitsu thread for "instigating a flame war" so that's not true.

>>716434257
that sounds very specific

Actual shills who get paid for shitting on popular games from other devs. There can be no other explanation, because you can't be retarded enough to spend your days doing that for free and still be capable of breathing.

i think its new people trying to fit in too hard
and schizos who have made that their entire life.
