IP Outrage

Post by christian »

Sometimes there just isn't enough fury out there on the Internet. So when the news sites heard about that new pachislo game that has dared to feature a beloved IP, they just couldn't wait to post about it. As if to say, "Behold the horror!" And as soon as the post goes live and the controversy's been thoroughly manufactured, the snarling Internet commenters leap to with bared fangs and a wild bloodlust.

I'm talking about the recently announced Silent Hill pachislo game. Here's the PV - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ht4dbyPIcM

Just check out some of the comments on that video. Note that this is a Japanese announcement trailer released for a Japanese audience. How sick is that? Western Internet gamers are pouring into the video en masse, having been directed there by their favorite gaming news site's resident warmongers. And all for what? And what's with the act? These sites all pretend like this was supposed to be a Silent Hill 5 or something, as if Konami were announcing it at E3 prefaced with a "we hope you will enjoy this latest game in the Silent Hill series".

How blind do you have to be to miss that this is just a pachislo game? That there is no foul play here or anything even remotely out of the ordinary.

God Eater
Resident Evil 6
Crash Bandicoot
Metal Slug
Of course, he's right. This recent torrent of hatred for Konami has warped the raging hordes of Internet gamers so severely that it's no longer possible for them to see anything related to Konami clearly anymore.

Unsurprisingly, Jim Sterling just can't help but to rally his personal army of hatred against Konami as well.
