I've never seen any other industry be bewildered by the idea of caveat emptor as much as gamers.

My favourite are the ones that act as if Steam allowing bad quality games on their store is a bad thing because it means they could spend their money on a bad game. The idea of "just don't buy it" is a mystery to them.

I don't like some movie franchises, and that's fine, I just don't consume them
