You know, by fanboy I don't just mean fans, I mean the people who are not only fans but take it upon themselves to attack and flame and insult anyone who likes another product. People who defend their company and console almost like they're being paid to do so. People who defend their game/console from any kind of critical review, attacking anyone who doesn't pretend like everything about the game/console is entirely perfect. People who act like anyone who gives an 8.6 out of 10 in a game review is evil and stupid.
I have nothing against fans. I'm a huge fan of the Hitman series, I'm a huge fan of Black and White and Dungeon Keeper and Baldur's Gate 2 and Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, but I could name you glaring flaws in all of those games. Everyone's a fan of something, fanboys just take it a bit too far and end up serving corporations instead of themselves and the gaming community.
IMO the gamming community needs the demand more accountability and provide more constructive feedback for the industry.
