Hatemongering

After reading the comments people had on Kotaku.com I am realizing that people are simply searching for something to hate and will accept any excuse to justify it. They hate Xbox because they make money, they hate GameStop because they are competitive, and they hate MW2 because its successful. Its ridiculous, they want MS, GameStop, and Activison to be stopped because of free enterprise….um…call me a fool, but isn’t “free enterprise” about letting businesses develop and compete to find a natural balance based on need, opertunity, supply, and demand? Well, a natural balance must be found and not forced.

I know I’m complaining about a bunch of 14 year old Timmy bloggers who think they control the net and that their opinions matter, but are we as a society so bored and privileged that we must go out of our way to find things to hate?   Do they hate them because they are successful?  because they are bad? or because of a whole subconscious need/hate relationship? 
Either way, I’m thinking about swinging past my GameStop where I preordered our 2 copies and seeing if I can get a bit of an early taste. I won’t play them early (I fear the BanHammer far too much to tempt it for just one days wait.) but if I don’t have to deal with the rush hour traffic in that area, I will make the extra trip now.

You won't be banned playing a retail copy of a game that was purchased from a reseller that broke the street date. The people who ahre getting banned are the ones who are playing pirated copies.

I know, it's just that little worry in the back of my mind...I get the same thing when I make a legal one way street to one way street left hand turn at a redlight....it just feels wrong.
