Definitely a broken chart. If feeling is at ‘none’, that means the game is at fault for not providing the expected, nay, required, unceasing supply of purest joy.
Truly the only appropriate response to such insult would be more unyielding rage, not a feeble nothing.

I mean…a few years back people threatened Laura Bailey’s child after her voice performance in TLOU Part 2. Think about that for a minute; she voice acted a character in a video game and people said they were going to kill her son. Something real wrong with the world.
That is effed up. Yet I am not surprised some how. Kelly Marie Tran got death threats for playing Rose in a Star Wars movie. Before that Jake Lloyd was bullied for his portrayal of young Anakin.
Game developers get this. Make a suggestion online to get a quick response of “I hope you see your child get hit by a car and die.” That was over a discussion about electric cars and how to speed up down time on them.
I agree something real wrong with the world.
I wish I knew why.

Have things really changed so much? Have we simply matured since the days when we were threatening congressmen for saying video games cause violence? Correlation is not causation, but there could be something said about maturity and understanding the consequences of real actions vs virtual actions. Sadly, something amplified by the ability to be pseudo-anonymous on the internet. If it’s not justifyable now, it wasn’t justifyable then and it’s important to learn from past mistakes.

People have a right to be angry I was upset at how broken Cyberpunk 2077 was but I did not for one second consider death threats to any of the developers I wrote a poor review on Steam but that was it. Now the game is actually quite good people who think death threats to developers or there families are pure nutjobs and need locking away and having there technology taken off them till they can act like grown ups.

But video games don’t encourage violent tendencies, right?
No, they don’t. Given tendencies over the past decade or two, I do, however, think that growing up in an era where the primary form of social interaction is highly anonymous with very little connection between online actions and real tangible consequences may in fact be the “encouragement for violent tendencies” that various people have been looking for. It’s not the games, it’s the internet. The fact that the whole system is designed to make people feel like the center of the universe, connect them exclusively with people who feel the exact same way and thus making them feel like… Read more »
Seconded when there was a app called Yik Yak that allowed people to converse anon in a local area the amount of racial abuse was crazy same as comments about women with some even suggesting threats of rape.
I think cause people can hide behind a screen and mostly not feel any impact to there hateful comments we now have an entire generation who have no self control
Right. They do not. As I’m sure you are aware of and not a complete ignorant fool making this post (right?) this is not restricted to just video games where people make death threats. This is an Internet thing. People make death threats about almost anything that makes them upset. If it was related only to video games then you could have something to talk about. But politics, sports you name it and there are people dumb enough to make death threats over it. Personally I think we need to make an effort to arrest these people. Have them pay… Read more »
Obviously people never make death threats about politics, celebrities, sports, random internet drama or other dumb stuff, it’s totally something inherent in video games itself and not in human stupidity.
My dude, this is a problem with people, not a problem with video games. People have sent death threats over movies and TV shows and plenty of other fandoms. Go look at the abuse actors in Star Wars movies have taken because people didn’t like the movies. It’s not the games causing violent tendencies, people just plain suck.

Curious point about the hobby: neither chart has anything like “happy” or “satisfied” or “comfy and relaxed” or “really enjoying this.”
Ok granted this are charts of displeasures, I should’ve paid more attention (I just woke up, OK!)… but that’s why I don’t play new ever evolving things. Can’t get too worked up about something not affecting me in the first place 😁

Death threats do happen, and they are horrible. But also, given how frequently we hear people claiming they’ve received threats, but so rarely actually show said threats, and given people’s tendency to exaggerate in order to claim victim status… I’m skeptical it happens as often as it’s actually claimed.

I don’t see the option to ridicule the ending of a trilogy by sending the devs a bunch of multi coloured cupcakes. Maybe both charts are broken.

Evil people.
Perhaps we should have more prosecutions for such nonsense behavior.

When people have insane reactions to something, the fault lies with those people, not the thing they’re inappropriately reacting to.
If I were to punch you in the face because your comment make me angry, would you say you were to blame for me punching you?

Pretty similar to how someone will cut RIGHT in front of you while in their car, but wouldn’t do that in the grocery store line. (Usually, sigh.)
As Mike Tyson said (Paraphrased): People got way too comfortable with disrespecting others and not getting punched in the face for it.
