Eh, I've been gaming since the 90's, and in my experience it's more or less the same. Honestly, with the proliferation of in-game voice and reporting tools it's probably gotten a bit better, esp. in regards to racist name calling.
- Jach 8y agoIn the 90s "suck it down" taunting was very common, among many others. Gaming is a counter culture, I'm shocked, shocked that anyone is shocked, shocked that working at a gaming studio which hasn't had all its life sucked out of it by Business People isn't like some "Professional" (we say that despite our products having no warranty or any implied fit-for-purpose!)
