2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

Sunk cost, they pre-ordered it, and they are darn well going to play it, even if they don't enjoy doing so.

Don't pull the video games especially when they're digitally distributed. It's not like they can run out.

Or they actually enjoy it. Just because you and others don't doesn't mean everyone doesn't. I didn't pay anything for it and thoroughly enjoyed it, and will do so more when the DLC comes out. As with anything there are valid points of criticism but so much of the hate for it is fully because of people's idiocy and not anything else, I've never before seen so much deeply stupid criticism for something.

I have no problem with people liking it. But I know for a fact that a lot of people really are just obsessed with it because they got bamboozled into pre-ordering, because Bethesda, and they don't want to admit they made a mistake.
