1. Desconfianza en las grandes corporaciones y desarrolladores.
Los usuarios expresan un profundo escepticismo hacia las decisiones de los ejecutivos de grandes empresas de videojuegos, señalando promesas incumplidas, secuelas innecesarias y la pérdida de respeto por el material de origen.
- "Rule number one of enjoying video games is never ever trust what the main guy says because theres a 99 chance hes fucking lying.".
- "I have major trust issues already which means I dont trust any major game companies moving forward when every executive is actively killing games by replacing people with a garbage production algorithm.".
- "My trust at this point is gone, and I dont need any more Tekken or Soulcalibur if this is how theyre going to treat theyre fighting games.".
2. El rechazo a la Inteligencia Artificial Generativa y tecnologías engañosas.
La implementación de herramientas de IA generativa en el desarrollo y la localización de videojuegos, así como los avances tecnológicos controvertidos como DLSS 5, han erosionado gravemente la credibilidad de los estudios.
- "The insidious nature of not only using genai art and animation but also lying to a person who could take all the flack for promoting it its like, how do you trust a developer after that?".
- "One of the sadder wrinkles of this DLSS 5 disaster is that I dont think I'll ever be able to trust a gameplay trailer again.".
- "I also dont trust a company that says they didnt put genai into a game after previously saying they were gonna go all in on genai for game development.".
3. Escepticismo ante la crítica profesional y los influencers.
Existe una creciente desconexión entre las valoraciones de los medios especializados y la experiencia real de los jugadores, lo que lleva a muchos a confiar únicamente en recomendaciones de amigos o creadores de contenido específicos.
- "I dont trust professional reviewers, I tell if a game is considered good or not based on how many of my intelligent and beautiful tgirl gamer mutuals on Tumblr are posting yaoiyuri of it.".
- "Genuinely, everybody on YouTube who has ever told me to download Raid Shadow Legends because they had an incentive to recommend it, I'm like. I dont trust you at all.".
- "My advice? Dont let Metacritic cloud your judgement at all. There are reasons people reviewed it poorly and reasons people reviewed it as everything theyve ever wanted.".
4. La cautela ante las adaptaciones al cine y la televisión.
Aunque directores de renombre generan cierta expectativa, los jugadores mantienen la guardia alta frente a las adaptaciones cinematográficas de sus juegos favoritos debido al historial de fracasos en Hollywood.
- "I trust both Alex Garland and A24 for the most part. What I dont trust is that anyone is even capable of making a video game movie that isnt dogshit.".
- "My hot take is I'm actually fine with the new Resident Evil film not adapting any of the game characters or storylines because I trust Zach Cregger to make something good when given creative freedom.".
- "I dont trust this to be good. There is far too much going on in the game for them to make a 2 hour movie. A show is much more reasonable and could have good pacing. A movie on Bloodborne is just asking for trouble.".
5. Spoilers y la desconfianza en las comunidades de fans.
El miedo a que les arruinen la trama de lanzamientos importantes o proyecciones especiales lleva a muchos usuarios a aislarse de las redes sociales y a desconfiar del comportamiento de los fandoms.
- "I'll just trust the fans. Which means that the first person who spoils it to me will be slandered until they explode. I am not sorry.".
- "I'm deactivating for a month just to be on the safe side. I do not want spoilers and I dont trust people not to reveal it.".
- "I'm scared to be in a room with TADC fans but I'll take the sacrifice over being spoiled before the online release cuz I dont trust any part of the fandom.".
