      This, I’m so sick of “I want to hurt something… so I’m going to continually talk about it”.

      It’s the worst in games, because all it does is get more people to talk/know/hear about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 was a bad launch, instead of just harping on that, I wish every post was “Instead of Cyberpunk 2077, I’m playing X game and it’s amazing” Get people interested in something else… and in general stop talking about this shit.
