LMAO! Incredible. Okay lets break this down piece by piece and how ridiculous this is:
That "rise up" comment wasn't at all directed at you, but now it certainly is.
You specifically call out a list of companies to say if they do it bad things people would be frothing at the mouth, "But it's CDPR, so we're going to ignore it."
I push back because blatantly that isn't the case, as evidenced by this very forum, and poke at the groups of people push a "rise up" "we must fight" attitude to the issues of those CP2077 games.
You however then turn this into something you feel is a personal insult, which is very much emphasising the issue I'm highlighting - that while all this is true about CDPR, gamers who wilfully preordered a product they never saw on the hardware they planned to use and was highly suspect for being obfuscated is a problem of it's own, especially when those same people hadn't planned a refund route in the event it wasn't something they would like.
You go on to say:
Again, as I mentioned, no one ever saw the game on those systems. Worst of all though, with this point, you are relying on a translation of an investor conference call, where a brief sentence is used to assuage investor concerns
How you do not see this as even MORE suspect when not even directed at customers, yet you swing this as if it is, is genuinely magic. This is a fat red flag and not evidence anyone should use in a decision to proceed with a purchase. The contrary if anything when you haven't seen the product at all.
You again spin this out of nowhere when I've already criticised these very issues, but you don't like me pointing out that users should not buy a thing they never saw, so now I am "fine with them lying to me" when I never made this mistake and planned ahead for the game not working as expected with a refund route if needed. Very much a devoid of fact "rise up" attitude where anyone who isn't "stanning" the cause is some how complicit
Moving on:
And this is the icing on the cake. I am now at fault for pointing out something you don't want to hear. Despite my well reasoned criticisms, you are absolutely having a "rise up" moment, where I somehow am complicit and a "stan" now for CDPR, because despite critising them, I also pointed out the fact that you should never trust in any for profit company or pre/order products you never saw / base their apparent quality in a line from an investor call, that was literally assuage a concern someone voice, which is even more of a red flag.
Honestly this is the exact attitude I hate in gaming. It lacks any reason or logic and throws facts out the window to berate others you feel are not supporting you entirely. Everyone is some villain "stanning" for an evil cause, or they are righteously with the right cause and no one else can ever be at fault simultaneously.
I have so many grievances with CDPR, and I voice a handful in my comment to address your own. But this attitude in particular is just shit. If you don't like that I my view that "consumers" should pay attention to the product they want and make an educated decision on it's worthiness to them with a safe refund route if necessary, then sorry. I subsequently don't see how that now make me a "STAN" for every awful decision of CDPR when I very clearly don't agree.
You do your rise up thing if you must.
