Oh yeah!
Well Microsoft are just a bunch of nerds with glasses!
Yeah, how you like that Microsoft?
Stereotyping ain't so nice now, it IT!
For the record, I don't like Metallica, I don't sweat while gaming, and I'm not thirty.
And I consider myself a semi-hardcore gamer.

Why does everyone picture gamers as "sweaty?" M$ knows that they can criticize their customers all they want b/c said consumers will continue to buy gears of war 5 and Halo: were-at-the-end-but-not-really video games. What are sweaty gamers gonna do, run over to Sony?
Excuse me, Mr. McLean. I happen to be a very dry nineteen year old in Metallica t-shirts, and I am a hard-core gamer. So please go screw yourself.tlozoot said:

[Looks down and notices that he's wearing a Metallica t-shirt] Well 1 out 3 ain't too bad.
Given this you'd think they would sell Metallica avatar t-shirts.

Given the context and how he said "Gamings not just for sweaty thirty year olds in Metallica t-shirts." I think it's not far-fetched at all to consider the aforementoned steretype as a reference to Microsofts current demographic.NotSoNimble said:
And to reiterate, I don't think anyone here is actually offended or hurt by the comment. I, personally, just think it's an example of fail PR by Microsoft.
I always make sure to keep my room nice and cool so i won't sweat.
On a side note i should probably mention the i'm a soon-to-be 18 year old in a System of a Down t-shirt.
And also i've never really liked Microsoft games, so suck on that.

...Also my girlfriend usually wears her night clothes or just her bra when she games...
I understand their meaning but I would have worded it quite differently.
