Gamers are more aggressive when playing strangers than friends
- DanielStraight 17y agoFascinating. I would also like to mention that this article was simultaneously relevant, interesting, informative, and based on real research rather than conjecture. It's quite refreshing.
- chaosmachine 17y agoThis isn't a measure of gamers vs non-gamers, as the headline might lead you to believe. The study shows that people are more aggressive when playing games against strangers and less aggressive when playing against their team mates.
- CrazedGeek 17y agoCorrection: UT2004 players are more aggressive to strangers. It's a bit of a stretch to extrapolate that to mean "every multiplayer game."

- cwan 17y agoOn a practical level you could probably extend the analogy to illustrating the effectiveness of using "us" against "them" rhetoric.
- tumult 17y agoClassy headline. Misleading. Jackasses.
