Last week, we brought you ten reasons to hate MMO X, today we bring you a list of the other side of the coin: Ten reasons to defend MMO X.
#6 You're obviously a paid shill for Company X
Ok, this one I hate. I will not make any defense of this defense. This defense is completely and utter bogus, and yet we see it all the time.
This one makes the assumption that anyone who doesn't like what I like must get paid to come onto forums and say bad things about the game I like.
First of all, where do I get a job like that? Seriously. I want to know. Is there some kind of listing? If I look in the right papers will I find a want ad that reads:
"Seeking professional troll. Must hate everything and have unpleasant social skills. Being a douchebag is an asset, but not required."
Yes, viral marketing does exist. Yes, viral marketing is annoying (I assume it's that particular phenomenon that's given rise to this bizarre defense of a game against criticism, yes?) But let's not assume that people who don't agree with us must be taking money for their thoughts. That's just. Well, a little bit insane.
