@NEETzsche @meso @thelioma @p @revvy @corfiot @coolboymew I want to add onto this that normies I know extend this behavior into other similar things. I will enjoy indie games made by one person or a small group of people, but they won't give much other than AAA games a second look. The only indie game some of them seem to like is Stardew Valley since it's popular enough I guess. They have that one possible exception that shows that something not approved by a big corporation can be higher quality, but never expand on it beyond that.

They also do it with TV shows, preferring whatever shit is on Disney+ or some other platform instead of anything else. They're the kind of people who say broad sweeping statements about corporations bad, but then do nothing but suck off big corporations.

Something less relevant but connected is how much emphasis I see certain people put on canon in franchises. It sucks what Disney did to Star Wars, but who gives a shit if Disney officially says x or y isn't canon. You can enjoy it anyway and ignore Disney.
