It's not uncommon to see gamers entitled to a comical degree. $20 for years of play time and server resource consumption. Thumbs down! 2,000 hours played? Thu

Well thanks for that knee-jerk reaction instead of having any idea of how much time and money I have put into the game. I'd probably be considered a whale by Psy.

  The irony being highlighted there is that you've provided a knee-jerk reaction instead of trying to understand how much time and effort people put into making an enjoyable game for you. Nobody would just assume you're propping the whole company up...

I'm a linux user and EGS has no linux option. If they do pull the game from Steam, I can no longer play. Does it matter how much I paid or how many hours I have played? If I pay for a game, I'm sorry if I feel "entitled" to play it.

I stopped playing it when they removed one of the best game game modes - unranked Rumble. For those who don't play it was a silly mode where you got a powerup every ten seconds that had wacky effects on the ball / other players. I had gotten bored of the regular modes and this one was the only one I still enjoyed. They made it ranked which had a lot of downsides that made it unplayable for me. Is this "gamer entitlement"? I paid full purchase price and supported the devs by buying cosmetics - and they take away my favorite game mode, rendering the game useless to me? Fuck that. There are so many other great games to play, and life is too short to waste on video games anyway.

  Risk of disabling your car with a firmware patch: HN up in arms about how you bought your product and it shouldn't be disabled in such a fashion. Gamers complain about gamebreaking changes / purchase-driving features being removed: "Gamers are entitled" Yeah, games seem to be the field where even people who are typically pro-consumer go completely anti-consumer.
