HOW DARE YOU LIKE FUNCOM'S WORK!

Ever since Age of Conan's launch I've seen an increasingly popular trend pop up - Hating Funcom.
Doesn't matter where you go, if you mention the word Fun and Com together, people will almost always get their "hater" cap on and start unleashing the fury. 


The worst thing is, it's completely acceptable. Well, it's the internet sure enough, but the ones who really don't have anything against the company (e.g me) just grows weary of meeting the same **** every time, to the point where i've stopped trying to defend them, or even try to argue that they're at least "OK".


It doesn't stop there apparently. I just finished reading the latest Anvil of Crom additions and at one point ol' Jef made a unpredicted move. He officially said he liked where Funcom was going with the upcoming changes. Not only that, but he said the haters should just quiet down already, even including very naughty words such as "newb" and "pipe down". Truly outrageous, right? Well, the slaugher house (comment section) awaited him! There the haters were outraged by the fact that he told them to "pipe down" and thus was deemed a Fanboi. With an I not a Y, mind you! /Sarcasm


No, but seriously, I tried my best to read that and try to be offended by it. My only result was, yes, he could've re-wrote the article to make it more sophisticated perhaps, but really, if the people who tells Jef to suck his own **** is entitled to their opinion, then the writer of these articles should be as well. That's considered a given, hence why there aren't any disclaimers or a BBC employee warning us that "the following article contains scenes of a sexual and mature nature. Parental guidance is advised!" (Just had to). Because nobody really thought they would be necessary.


Considering the fact that most people who hate Funcom have either just played until a certain level then stopped because they didn't have enough quests apparently (I can talk about how that is just because of Funcom's questing system is based on their "explore and thou shall find quests... eventually" method but not today) or people who just resorted to prejudice after hearing the lamentation of their women. While a lot of it's right,  no game, development team, or playerbase should still get burned for it 3 years after launch.


I guess that was my counter-rant about the rant about the Article's rant. The article itself is right -> Here
