    • RE: Fanbase entitlement

      Yeah, I only took a pic of the first link, it was more for the number of searches rather than the actual ones.

      Sadly I think death threats about anything popular is the new Rule 34; if it exists, there is a fanbase who has made a death threat about it.

      Star Citizen though has been worked on for so long though, and they have promised so much that I have a feeling the reaction to No Man's Sky is going to be mild. People have already sued to get the money back since the game is supposedly so different to what it originally was supposed to be. It made so much more money than No Man's Sky, and it's been so much more delayed than No Man's Sky was.

      I mean no one is entitled to make death threats, but if you give someone the money for a Subway sub, and they come back with a hamburger from McDonalds, you get to be upset it isn't what you paid for. Sure they are both sandwich like and you won't be hungry after, but that doesn't mean you have to be satisfied by the burger.

      No Man's Sky was made by a small indie dev team who wanted to do something awesome, and that's what people paid for, so I think in this case fans do have the right to feel entitled to the game they paid for. But they didn't get it. What was advertised on the tin, did not come in the box. And if they got it on PS4? Good luck getting a refund. And if they get it, good luck getting a full refund. AND if they get a refund on the PS4 and it gets better, or someone buys them a disc as a gift later they can never play the game on a ps4 again.

      Now if the person has bought this after reviews, shame on them. But if they pre-ordered, because of all the nifty things the game said it was going to have? Then yeah, I think people do have a right to be upset about it. Never to death threats, but to make big lists about what isn't in there? Oh yeah.

      But then again people take it too far, they always do. Like with the guy suing because suicide squad didn't have the scenes that were in the trailer. Thing is, the movie wasn't crowd-sourced, and you can't pre-order a movie. And a movie doesn't cost $80 bucks. (Yeah, I realize a AAA is $60 USD, but I'm Canadian, they costs us $80 of our pretty plastic money) not to mention the fans who liked the idea that was presented so they put in more money to have it made.

      TL;DR But yeah, mainly see Star Citizen for "They lied." and it's not even out yet.

      PS. I like No Man's Sky. I can just understand why people are pissed. I don't think the devs are evil, I just think their eyes were too big for their stomachs.

      And do it on a PvE server. The guards might be green to you opposite faction, but the players aren't.
