Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

I unironically owe this man a debt. I used to be autisticaly obsessed with star Wars lore. Read some of the books, owed every video game, memorized useless wookiepedia things like the different saber combat forms, or how technologies that were shown for a split second in the movie worked in universe.

Now I don't give a ♥♥♥♥, I have zero interest in any show, movie or game that will come out of this franchise. I'm not like the obsessed candy-asses who want to hate on it and give it money anyways, I just....don't care. I've broken my consoomer addiction and have more time for other things now.

So you're going by "N_Tropy_" now nerd? Haha whats up douchebag, it's Chad from Highschool. Remember me? I used to give you a hard time in school. Sorry you were just an easy target lol.
