My monkey is their friend
Consumer: "Why are you doing this to me???"
Game company: "For money"
Consumer: "But you should listen to the fans! Listen to me!"
Game company: "No"
Consumer: "Fine then! I wont buy your games!"
Game company: "Ok"
I'm a little pissed off that Kotaku had the gumption to "remind" us of this hottest-of-takes when they've been the ones regurgitating corporate propaganda and spin lately (the Horizon and Bethesda articles.)
Apple isn't my friend, neither is Honda. Nor Sony, Playstation, Nintendo, or Converse, American Eagle, Patriots or Blue Moon. But it's all brands I'm attached to nonetheless.
I can champion what I want.
I wish it were obvious, that way we could not have pages filled with 'oh man, [insert gaming website or youtuber here] is just singling out [insert brand in need of vigorous defense here] for clicks/views/ad revenue, why are we even talking about this instead of [insert other brand here], I mean every brand in [insert economic sector inhabited by said brands] does it? Slow news day I guess, lol[insert source of news here]!' every time any hint of offense is felt at the expense of any major corporation.
You don't have to tell me twice. Sakurai cutting snake from smash and capcom making Dino Crisis 3 confirms they're just bullies
What if I own significant stock shares?
Sometimes I imagine GAF as the place that people who own video game company stock come to fight their shadow wars.
I was just going to say this...they sell the stuff in supermarkets here.
Also, OP, you TOTALLY see this happen in other areas. There's a guy at my job that goes on about how superior Yeti cups are to the knock offs...
My man.Heinz is the only good Ketchup brand tho
Yeah they are here to make money, but that doesn't mean the people working on the stuff don't genuinely enjoy games and the community too.
CDPR is my friend I think
Neither are video game blogs.
Prefering one brand over another doesn't mean that you think they're your friends --you just value their work more.
they're not my 'friend' per-say but I do want them to succeed and continue to make things I like, and I may grow an attachment to things I like.

The water is wet.
Kotaku pays for GAF Platinum. This means it gets a thread every two days, guaranteed.Looks like every two days we need kotaku thread. Wonder why.
Okay I must be late but what is going on with Wendy's/anime personification?
