Although... I can see that some PC gamers with memories long than last Thursday, could have an axe to grind with bitcoiners about how it screwed with GPU pricing in the 2011-2013 timeframe.
Ignorence triggers fear and rejection. These dumb cunts will eventually learn the importance of Bitcoin. Let time do its thang.
Impression of actual comments from OPs link though seems like about 50% latent curiosity, and 50% typical thoughtless babble.
I have been looking at the gaming websites to see what the reaction to the Microsoft news would be ... and it isn't good!
Well if you hacked youtube and changed all the "Hitler reacts to...." video titles to "Gamer reacts to..." probably nobody would notice for months.
Just had a look at Gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bitcoin-can-now-be-traded-for-xbox-one-games/1100-6424171/
Lots of hostility.

Bitcoin will become the digital currency of the establishment.
The fun times are just around the corner. Prepare now for the great Altcoin rush.
I would have thought that the people who don't know a ton about Bitcoin would have just shrugged it off as just another way to pay for their favorite Microsoft products. Why the hate?
I saw a tweet from someone today who was interested in learning about it, sent him a few bits via changetip. Led to a nice conversation regarding bitcoin and he said he would take to the gaming forum he is a member of. (I am not much of a gamer myself.)

i think that is a normal reaction for people who don't know anything about bitcoin. there is a lot helpful information easily accessible.
christmas time ... press sleep, now.
wait the 3/1/2015 to have somes news (like corrupt law accepted, for example).

Have a look at IGN posters http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/11/you-can-now-pay-for-xbox-and-windows-content-with-bitcoin
Other forums have similar reactions. I think we have a lot of teaching to do.
I felt the same way before I actually learned about it. I just thought it was some digital token that you buy. I.e. nerd money. I didn't know anything about the Blockchain.
