Gamers are assumed to be immature, whiny assholes. Assumed?

    We wrote already in several instances about these behaviours, so I dunno if there's a more appropriate topic to post this in.

    Call of duty players .. lol


    I worked on Rome2 total war which will be released on the 3rd of september, and the whining level of the community is also pretty awesome.


    But i'm in a state of complete bliss when i rarely fall on comments like this : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthr…nt-Art-of-RTWII

    It's a symptom of the medium: the internet. Give everyone a megaphone, you will hear a lot of hatred because, in general, people want more from life than they have and when they can't get it, they vent wherever they feel safe to do so.

    You just can't take this shit seriously. Like, nothing at all. If somebody says they're going to kill you on the internet, seriously, take a step back. Consider whether that is even remotely plausible. Go on with your life.


    This is the internet, so know the rules going into it.

    You haven't seen whining until you've read the posts about GRID2 not having cockpit view


    Reminds me of this article written by a community manager on how to deal with negative posts.

    To be fair, I skipped GRID2 for not having cockpit view.

    I think it was a mistake not having it. But every single post on the GRID2 page, even completely unrelated to cockpit view had comments about it They're funny to read.

    IW Dev's could always change the protagonist in Ghosts to Vondehaar, change the bad guys to an army of whingy CoD fans.

    Unfortunately this is just the landscape of the internet. Tell someone a tomato is a vegetable and theyll tell you that theyre going to rape your family. Take solace in the fact that the guy threatening you is a 14 year old who thinks CoD is a legitimate career path and move on with your life.

    When Toady One releases Dwarf Fortress patch notes nobody tells him to die in a fire. Call of Duty gets the stereotype for being filled with raging, immature children because it is, in part, true. I used to be an insufferable twat on the Internet too. Hah, maybe you could enforce the age restriction, or David Cameron could ask households to opt-in violent video games.

    It's the demographics - if your game is popular, you have more people acting like dicks, that's what the internet was invented for.
