The past 24 hours has confirmed a harsh reality... the loudest opinions on this tech often can't be taken seriously because they stem from a complete lack of fundamental understanding.
Fast forward 1 to 2 years... these exact same people will be posting game screenshots, endlessly praising the very thing they’re hating on today.
And the crowd currently cheering their outrage will be right there liking those new posts.
Why the shift?
Because eventually, the influencers driving this backlash will secure their marketing payouts...
They'll get their "tours" and their "media days" and they'll sit down with artists and developers who make them feel better about accepting the tech.
They’ll drop the faux outrage and pivot to whatever narrative they are paid or at least incentivized to push.
When that happens, they’ll all lean on the exact same typical excuse for their 180° shift in opinion... "Wow, it’s improved so much since launch!"... and their echo chamber will blindly fall in line.
The reality is the tech won't have changed that drastically.
People just need time to adapt.
Right now, it’s simply breaking their brains and triggering a collective uncanny valley panic.
