    Not to mention that gamers tend to have the shittiest politics. Idk what it is man, but over the last decade and a half I’ve watched Steam Discussions go from a dry and somewhat elitist gamefaqs to one of the worst cesspools on the internet by far, and it has a freakin’ swear filter, who tf would even risk their steam account going around talking smack like that I dunno.

    A good community in a game is like finding the fucking higgs boson, you know when mfing warframe, known for having a great community back in the day - so much so it’s a selling point brought up by reviewers and it’s even basically expected that you will ask people for help - turns the main chat (region chat) off by default then things are just… Not great.

      I think this varies wildly depending on the game. In my experience indie game communities are often pretty chill. (Rock and Stone!)
