This couldnt be further from the truth. Gamers in general are really not all that negative. It is the most popular posts on the internet are mostly the negative people. Most people dont remember the posts saying a game was decent or good, at the same time most people dont make such posts because they are typically busy doing things like playing the game. The majority of the time you will see such comments is as replies, not posts of their own, unfortunately this is less obvious and less memorable. Also just because a group is loud does not mean they are big. You could see tons of posts and videos complaining about a game, but then it sells millions and has tons of constant players. A bunch of negative posts means very little in comparison to the number of people actually playing a game. You want happy people? Go play the game with people, they are typically the much happier ones, those on the forums are not so happy much of the time. The vast majority of gamers are very happy with games, so happy in fact that they are typically playing them rather than complaining about them online.
