Schadenfreude


Mister Jack

Recommended Posts

Mine's a gaming schadenfreude confession. I do not, nor will I ever, play MMO's. But I feel a bit of joy when an MMO fails, especially at launch. I even follow MMO news around the launch of a new game; I followed APB and FFXIV news as much as I would for a beloved game franchise of mine.

 

It's not just that I feel good that the game failed, but that folks who bought into failed games get taken for a ride and don't get their money back and see their beloved MMO fall to ruin around them. It's like they get what they deserve for blindly liking terrible games, or at least for not waiting to see if a game is any good before dropping $60-$100 on it.

Some lady in the mall today got her wallet stolen because she left her purse unattended in her shopping cart for a couple of minutes. She got all upset of course, but what the hell did you think was going to happen, lady? That's NEVER a smart thing to do, but at this time of year? You might as well have just tossed all your cash and plastic off a roof into a crowded street.
