What I see often in the community is the level of expectations from companies have become unreasonable. In part that is due to the world we live in. With social media and on demand videos, instance reply from e-mails. We have come to expect a level of service which is difficult to match and often people are less tolerance towards those companies.
This in turn causes some level of conflict in the community between those with perhaps a bit more understanding or tolerance towards those issue.
The case in point if I see a post on a games workshop issue everyone and his dog will have a say and 90% of people will complain about them even tho most of them admit they have no interest in product. That alone is not a problem but when you look at other companies and posts on them they hardly get talked about.
To me this “Drama Alert” situation people seem to almost revel in the issues or be it they dont occur very often. A certain under tone of snobby does exists and often it is taken and given in good humour but it can be wearing at times. To see people attacking these groups with the levels they do and the stupid comments saying “I am done with this company” Like kids throwing toys out of prams.
Personally I am always in a sense of wonder for how much choice we have in this hobby. We have so many amazing companies with so many amazing people working in them. Lets be clear it is people like you and I that work in this places. The are not “Evil” or “out to get you” they are staffed by people that love the hobby just as you do.
While I wish people would be a little more tolerance or understanding, sadly I think it just the way the world is. It would be stupid of me to say otherwise as often I get involved as well. It is far to easy to attach to the social media and see something you disagree with.
However i will say the small group of people that seem to have an almost personal agenda against certain companies or sections of the community perhaps need to take a step back and perhaps consider viewing the situation from the otherside once in a while.
