Newbie question, do the fans boo Roman out of spite for the companies decision to back him?

From what I read, people turned on him after CM Punk talked about having to make him look good, but the shows always been scripted for who wins. When I talk to wrestling fans about it, they talk about Reigns as if ran over their entire family.

Wrist cocking aside, he seems solid in the ring, so why the hate?Is it just general distaste of management decisions?

Video games are pretty cool. Video game message boards and comment sections are a total shit show.

Like other folks have said, don't worry about it. I've gone through years were I chew through every major release, and years were I didn't play much at all. While on your break away from games, try to check out other hobbies you've thought about getting into. For me it was running and woodworking. Never became great at them but eventually I'll be able to go over 5 miles and make furniture that didn't look like a pack of beavers had their way with a wooden chair.

Most definitely a communication issue. Folks seem to have trouble either extrapolating tone in text, or expressing themselves in anything other than absolutes. Alongside misconceptions about how the business, development, and coverage aspects of the industry work have led to one misinterpreted gate after the other.

You wouldn't think the focal point of the arguments being had were "Can the industry step it's game up on aspects of itself?" A few decades of being defensive about the hobby on a cultural level probably didn't lead to cooler heads either.

I remember picking up the first Bioshock on a whim. "What's with the guy in the diving suit with the drill for a hand?" I thought. That particular spur of the moment purchase ended up being something special to me. After I saw the CGI trailer for Infinite I was in. I went in with no knowledge about the Vox, Songbird or Elizabeth ripping holes in space time and was happy to absorb those things as I was playing.

No doubt it's important to research what you're buying, but chewing up the 1-2 year marketing cycle for movies and games can really deflate my excitement, or at times I'll bring preconceived notions of what they should be. We have so much more info available than the screenshot in a magazine 15 years ago.

Pulling back my consumption of months and months of updates and trailers for things that I'm almost guaranteed to check out helps really enrich the experience. Now I have to work on not mid maxing every little stat in rpgs in fear of breaking my character down the line.
