It’s not contradictory in any respect. What folks ought to do and what they need to do are sometimes not the identical, often as a result of it’s simpler and feels higher to do what they need relatively than what they need to. My mates inform me they ought to go to the fitness center and train commonly, however they need to play video games on the sofa. They aren’t incompetent, they is aware of how and why to go to the fitness center. They simply don’t need to, largely as a result of it’s simpler and extra nice to play video games on the sofa than it’s to go to the fitness center and train.

It’s a comparable state of affairs for players entrenched in a franchise. The franchise is acquainted and cozy to them. They’ve already performed it a very long time and usually favored it. When issues go sideways, it’s simple to complain and get indignant. It’s simple to put up angrily and make memes. Nevertheless, the possibilities of getting a constructive response to those complaints is virtually nil. It typically takes weeks, months, and even years to deal with the problems that gamers complain about if the dev staff chooses to take action in any respect. Within the meantime, there are new video games commonly getting launched that will serve a participant’s wants higher than their present franchise du jour. Attempting and taking part in a brand new sport will obtain higher outcomes than complaining and doing nothing. Nevertheless, this requires extra vital effort and motion on the participant’s half – they should get the brand new sport, set up it, attempt it, study the brand new foibles, and see in the event that they prefer it. In the event that they don’t prefer it sufficiently, they’ll should repeat the method. As a substitute, complaining concerning the sport they had been taking part in and used to love is far simpler and requires nearly zero effort. The trail of least resistance is commonly the most well-liked.
