Obviously this post got derailed by illogical shitlords. Happy now, fucking assholes? Touch grass.

    yeah sorry this thread isn’t going to go the way you think because what you’re describing is not them having thin skin, it’s you coming into a community you know nothing about and espousing your opinion as if it is fact. no wonder your thread got removed.

    I’m not here to answer your question about “other sensitive communities” but to comment on your case of vampire survivors.

    I’ve never played the game, never intented to but i’ve heard enough about it and have seen enough of it.

    The way you describe your opinion here lets me assume how you’ve written your post over on that community. You simply say "People do not want games to feel like it’s a job […] and while that may be your opinion it’s 1) not everyones opinion and 2) just because the game feels like a job FOR YOU, doesn’t mean that it feels like that for everyone.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with making a grindy “addictive” game loop if there are not MTX behind it to “harvest” that addiction.

    So i think that’s the reason your post got deleted… not because they are “sensitive” but because you think you know better than people and that your opinion is “the truth”

      People do not want games to feel like it’s a job […] and while that may be your opinion it’s 1) not everyones opinion and 2) just because the game feels like a job FOR YOU, doesn’t mean that it feels like that for everyone.

      Good examples of this is Wurm Online/Unlimited, or OSRS/RS. Personally not too fond of OSRS/RS probably just didn’t get into it at the right time. Wurm though… I’ve got almost 1000hrs into it. When someone asks what I like about it, I can’t even really give a decent answer. The grind is insane, the best way I’ve found to describe it is:
      My favourite game where I’m not entirely sure if I’m bored or not.

      It’s an absolute slog, everything takes forever, and depending on the server, if you’re not online often enough everything you built decays and crumbles away. And yet I keep playing it, it’s a bit zen, I can log in and mine for 2hrs then sculpt for 2hrs and go to bed relaxed.

      How many sim games of jobs are there now? Farming, police, road crew, truck driving, pilots, power washing, technically all sports and military games… Im sure I’m missing a bunch.

    Bring up even a little criticism about the controls of Red Dead Redemption 2 and you’re sure to get excuses and insults hurled at you. Definitely nothing helpful.

    The Souls games. I really like those games personally, but the community does seem to lose their mind a little anytime someone criticizes their difficulty or suggests something like an easy mode.
