Are you guys getting paid to advertise this game?
Nothing but endless posts in the past 24 hours on something I've previously never heard about.
Edit: the down voted form gamers with hurt feelings. I was half joking. All these over sensitive comments. I hope the game is trash. I'm sure you all fork over cash anyway. It's meme group not a gamer sub.
It can't be that people are organically wanting to talk about a recently released triple A game by an old and relatively beloved game studio. They must be paid actors.
In the grimdark future there can be no grass roots, only astroturf.
I wish they were payed actors, I wanna get payed to spread misinformation about a video game. Seems like easy money to me.
Something paid, something something nautical term
Nah it's just common to post memes about the same thing when things occur.
I actually don't like the game that much.
I mean, just because you don't follow gaming news doesn't mean nothing happens in the gaming industry. And if you somehow didn't hear about this game that folks have been talking about for months as an extremely anticipated game, you clearly don't follow gaming news that closely.
The game's exclusive early access period for purchasers of the premium edition just released. Big name streamers are playing and streaming the game. Reviews are pouring out of every game review site. On top of all that, the general release is days away. Obviously, people are gonna be talking about it.
With all these down votes.
This is a meme group, I ask a question but because I didn't add an /s, all the gamer bros jump all over me.
Same as it ever was.
You asked a snarky ass question. Don't be an idiot.
I have admitted as much.
If it's so clearly snark, why the toxic gamers responses?
All the people calling me idiots, aka you are assholes.
This is fucking meme group, not totalseriousgamertalk.
Fragile egos.
"Fragile egos"
From the guy complaining about downvotes.
What a clever response. I bet that make your ego feel nice.
Down votes at a measurable symptom of what I am describing.
You're being awful serious. This is a meme sub, not a serious one.
The clever thing isn't working for you.
Fortunately, it never has.
You might never heard of it but this game has been hyped for years. We got no Skyrim successor for 12 years because Bethesda was busy with starfield, so naturally people want to see if the wait is worth it.
Then get out from under your rock? Starfield has been on the hype train for ages.
Wow. You are an asshole about me not paying attention to your hype train.
I'm not even all that excited. I just don't live under a rock 🤷♂️.
We're old mate. Hype trains don't stop for people older than 22.
As am I.
Pity the toxic gamer culture doesn't appear to recede with age.
More than half the responses are attacks on me personally for something I said in jest.
Before anyone accuses me of trolling or whatever. Realize this is a meme community, not a gamer community.
Idk how you've managed to not hear about it. Or see it. Shit I don't even watch the videos and it's all over my YouTube.
Not everyone watches the same YouTube.
