Like 99% of the time, if you are having fun playing a game the literal worst thing you can do is check out that game’s sub.
People who are content tend to spend their free time playing the game, while people who are frustrated with the state of the game go on reddit to voice their displeasure instead. Plus people in general tend to be more likely to voice criticism rather than praise.
Thats why you’ll regularly see popular games with millions of players who seem to all be enjoying the game, but the sub with a fraction of those numbers is full of people who are all angry.

Yeah for real.
Sometimes I check the PoE sub just for fun and discover all these “problems” that I never even knew about! Insane what sorts of takes you’ll see in these cesspools they call subreddits

Change the last panel to “This games subreddit is stupid”

Had this same issue with destiny 2. I thought it was passable, but both steam reviews of a few latest dlcs and sub of the game made me reconsider wasting time on that game

Tbf the main group that probably goes on any game subreddit are people that are reeeeeaaaaallllly invested in a game, especially if it only just came out and it makes sense that they would be more likely to criticise and make fun of the games flaws.

Very true, I’ve been loving Abiotic Factor, maybe even my GOTY so far, but I don’t want to go near the Subreddit for fear of this exact thing.

You might play the wrong games.

I prefer hating all games indiscriminately just so I can enjoy youtube videos of people shitting on them for half an hour, literally the only way I can enjoy anything now.
