What makes you view Hasan so negatively?

Patient gamer mindset is the way. Yes you may not be in apart of the current discussion, but I find that discourse around games isn't tempered until several months after release anyways. The older I've gotten, the more patient I've become when it comes to buying "new" games. I'm perpetually "behind" anyways. I've only made two exceptions this year with Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Everything else can wait for that sweet deep deep sale price baby.
It is trash, and Last Epoch launched at half the price being twice as good if not more this year, and with an offline mode. Diablo 4 was my biggest disappointment last year. Blizzard is a husk of its former self, amazing how mask off greedy they have become.
People said the same shit during Pizzagate. And look what happened there. There isn't smoke here, it's made up outrage, which is more akin to folks kicking up dust. In this case I think they've huffed too much of their own fart dust.
People have poor mental health, no control of their lives, no control over the industry through their consumerism like they pretend (the average person buying Spiderman 2 doesn't give a shit about this controversy), and so they are looking to shit on a consultancy company to make themselves feel like they have any power. The reality is most people just care whether a game is good or not, not whether it has DEI elements included or whatever else.
Yeah I honestly expected more nuanced takes from decentralized Reddit but I guess I expected too much. Nobody has provided any examples of his "bad takes" except that he makes money off his work, as he fucking should. So I'll just move on with my day. Been watching the guy on and off for years, haven't donated to him once so not sure where I'm being grifted lmao.
Also is this place being brigaded by incels/right wingers? Some of the comments on this post are concerning.
Edit: nice username and profile pic, I'm a big fan of King Gizzard myself, Infest The Rat's Nest gets a spin weekly!!!
