I got a glimpse of this working on my open source Minecraft clone, and it's at least half of the reason that game is sitting on the backburner. Gamers can be a pretty entitled group.
I also see this in the rest of my open source work, to a lesser extent. On the whole I probably get slightly fewer "fuck you"s than I get "thank you"s.
- camus2 9y ago> Gamers can be a pretty entitled group. Just like sport fans, moviegoers, fooding enthusiasts or people who buy books. In every circle you'll have a tiny loud minority who behaves like crap, it has nothing to do with gaming. You'd think people who buy books have a better education and behavior? People like J. K. Rowling or Stephen King have had plenty of stalkers and death threats, King wrote plenty of books about on subject.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoIn my experience gamers are a clear outlier.
- camus2 9y agoCompared to what? violent hooligans in football?
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoOther online communities. I haven't really met any violent holligans in football so I can't compare to that.
- camus2 9y agoBecause you think hooligans aren't being mean and hateful online as well? let's not even talk about political circles which have nothing to do with gaming. You are talking from you experience standpoint but you're wrong, there is way worse than gaming communities.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoA sample can be simultaneously greater than the mean and less than the maximum.
