Tom reviewed Tellstones and minced no words about it: he hated it. Some comments are implying he has integrity because of this (compared to reviewers who liked it). Disliking a game does not mean you have more integrity than someone who liked it. 1/4
This is not a comment on Tom's actual integrity, just the trend I've seen where viewers equate disliking something as somehow more honorable than enjoying something. This is a false equivalency, often heightened by the viewers own bias (when they don't like the look either). 2/4
Nothing wrong with disliking a game - but don't let yourself be cynical because of it. There are games I absolutely love that others hate and games I dislike that others adore. That has nothing to do with anyone's integrity. People can have "genuinely" different experiences. 3/4
Resist the temptation to see your personal experience as the only plausible/accurate one, particularly with things like music, books, art, tv, movies and games. Or don't. I'm not your dad! 4/4
