Damn, never seen a lemmy thread this weird before. People need to grow up and shed those game insecurities, let people enjoy their hobbies.
I don't even play any of the games being mentioned, but I'm with you. The commenters here are getting so gatekeepy about, essentially, how other people use their favorite toys. This is fucking entertainment we're talking about here. Is it really so inconceivable that many people just like those games? There's a whole world of people beyond yourselves guys.
They get upset about it because it's a trend in the industry that a lot of people hate. That particular series is a great example where the next game not only adds nothing but even generally takes stuff away from the previous title, but it keeps selling so it's kind of becoming a trend in the industry for most series to just keep releasing the same garbage over and over.
So it's less about enjoying a sports game that they are upset about, and more upset about encouraging the behavior of extremely low effort recycled releases constantly
