I'm not worried about it; I'm assuming that only "likes" have any consequence, as with YouTube and Facebook. But I do think it's a curious quality of human nature that some systems put placebo "dislike" buttons in place, and that some people push them.

No snobbery intended (I like first-person shooters just fine), but I'm not sure that the console shooter players and the PC strategy game players can really be classified as the same community. Gaming is so broad now that referring to "gamers" as a community is kind of like referring to "moviegoers" as a community. Fans of the widely different genres often have very little in common with each other other than that they're sitting in front of a similar-sized screen.
