    Not personally but I think that tribalism is one of tools used by mega corporations to implement abusive practices. So claims that “console gamers will buy anything they’re told to” is a bad take that deviates conversations to put a blame on console gamers that is not honest.

      I don’t blame them, the tactics used are manipulative by design and should be regulated further.

      Even ignoring the market research, its an easy observation. Most gamers buy a few or less games per year. Them games usually being the big AAA ones marketed to them.

      Consoles are brought up a lot because that is what is most popular with the average gamer, I mentioned it’s not exclusive to console. PC has however always had more success with indies and has less of that type of customer, though that seems to be shifting a bit recently with the PC market overtaking consoles.

      It’s not tribalism to merely point things out about different segments. Not everything someone says is an attack.

      I also never said

      “console gamers will buy anything they’re told to”

      I dont know why we are fabricating quotes or falsely insinuating.
