I've seen a few indie developers actively antagonize so called gamers.
I've seen abusive companies like EA get rightfully called out.
So Im skeptical of the depth of the claims, but I believe there are a few crazies.
I've ran a few foreign tax information websites, and I got extraordinary death threats very graphic and very detailed.
I think the internet really allows the mentally ill to scream for the attention they desperately want.
- vvanders 9y agoThat article was signal boosted by every indie game dev I know of so I wouldn't dismiss it so casually.
- swivelmaster 9y agoDo you think the type of abuse that EA received was appropriate? The answer is: Absolutely not. Remember when Mass Effect: Andromeda came out and the facial animation system was broken? Some enterprising players looked through the game credits, found a woman they thought was responsible for said animations, and personally harassed her about it. If you think this abuse is limited to complaining about loot boxes, you're wrong; it isn't.
- tehwebguy 9y agoA thousand raging jerks treating random employees like shit because they think the game they made is somehow abuse. Zero people tweeting about the abuse the employees suffer for being in never-ending crunch time until their studio folds.
