Square Enix has committed support to Xbox, but it has come with a caveat. Seemingly, there are no physical versions of its upcoming games for Xbox. This seems to be happening more and more, but why?
So raise your hand anybody who has actually read the article and realizes the ragebait quote comes from Limited Run games explaining that Xbox owners just aren’t buying their physical releases the same way Nintendo and Sony people do?
I’ll admit I didn’t and I still haven’t read it all. However, right at the beginning it says that Square Enix isn’t going to do physical either. The quote is the least ragebait part of it.
I feel the desire to grade sucking in a curve is part of the sucking.
FWIW, I don’t want people to copy/paste the body of the article when they share it, but I do want people to read the article before responding instead of reacting to an out of context headline. Which in turn would remove the need to use a crappy out of context quote in the headline to try to make people mad enough to click through.
I don’t know, I get the impression that we have plenty of suck to go around.
but I do want people to read the article before responding
And I don’t want to go to some shitty site. I want people to provide an actual data, not just a link. No data? Well, that sucks, so here we are, discussing the clickbaiting title.
For one thing this was clearly written by a human and fairly decently so, as these things go. Assuming you want humans to do journalism instead of shitty corpos outsourcing it all to chatbots, it may help to engage with it as intended every now and then.
For another thing, never assume anything you see on social media exists at all. It probably doesn’t. At best it’s a slice of it selected to get a rise out of you in one way or another. Yes, including here. Algorithms didn’t come up with the notion that people react more to stuff that makes them angry. I’m not saying to touch grass, but… like, touch some astroturf at least. Find a human who has touched grass once and ask them about it. Don’t live your life mediated by social media posts, what the hell.
And if you’re going to inhabit a semiotic ecosystem that exists primarily in the dregs of cyberdystopia at the very least put the work in of either understanding what’s being thrown at you via the firehose of constant worldwide anger or… you know, not reacting to it. You really have no obligation to add to this crap.
To be clear, I was going “we suck as a species” before I realized you’re saying if someone doesn’t plagiarize or summarize the content for you then you’re not gonna read it but will still react to the version of it that pops into your head. I wasn’t even considering that level of suck to be on purpose, let alone self-righteous.

No? Nobody?
We suck as a species.

And who sucks the most? Correct, those who don’t copy an article (or at least its meaningful parts) in the body of the thread.

No.
Hell no.
That’s so bad.

I’m gonna go not be on the Internet for a second.
Are you a bot or maybe an unemployed philosopher? Your text is a pain to read. And I didn’t get your point, if there is one.
I just ask for convenience. For the article to be in the thread in the normal text form. Copy-paste, nothing else.
