No, this meme is saying that there's two groups of gamers that have opposing views, and the critics are fools for expecting a quality product.

In reality, the group that are playing and enjoying the game are really the only people posting criticisms, because they genuinely like the game.

To give recent examples, people memed on the Lord of the Rings Gollum game, but nobody was seriously demanding better from the development studio, because nobody actually gave a shit. Conversely, people post criticisms of Cities Skylines II and Starfield because they like the games and wish they could be better.

No, it means people are allowed to play and have fun despite the criticisms. You getting butt hurt about not only the games but this meme is you being the yelling guy in the comic.

You played yourself

Rofl nobody's butthurt, this meme has always been a strawman and I have no idea why you're defending it.
