Competitive Gaming Breeds Toxicity

Let's talk toxicity. I mean in competitive gaming. How does getting serious about video games effect the various gaming communities.

Example of toxicity "stupid noob team, why do I always get stuck with bad people." Oh boo fucking hoo. You sheltered twats need to learn what a mute button is.

Gh05t3604d ago

Well wrote a nice wall of text that got erased so Forget doing that again... I'll sum it up.

If you play competitive team games and EXPECT that if you suck and cause your team to lose and want a cuddle party with skittles and rainbows at the end you're ignorant to just human nature.

I'm not saying people aren't mean and down right vile, but if you want to learn a competitive team game than find a clan or group to play with, otherwise you are playing with unknown competitive players whose scores depend on your abilities too. If you are playing soccer and kick the ball in your own goal and expect a high five GTFO!

Not saying people aren't mean and sometimes down right vile, but so is the world and these are the people who are playing.

Maybe try a Barbie or my little pony or Lego game, that might be more your thing if you can't handle people getting upset when you make a mistake that costs them points.

Team games/sports are a two way street.

P.S. Ever wonder why most teams have tryouts? Imagine watching a professional soccer game where anyone with $60 could join and a queue randomly matched you up and you get stuck with a team of people who don't even know the rules yet playing against an established team... It wouldn't be fun watching these people barely "trying" because they refused to learn the rules before even trying the game.

In the end it's a competition so if you don't want to compete play single player or 1v1 games. Don't take a team down with you.

...yes this was the short version.

Your tryouts is the perfect reason why real competitive players SHOULD NOT solo queue. Get on a team. League soccer doesn't have PUGs, but games do. Why? To appeal to a broad audience paying to support the game. These games need to BECOME culture, they aren't it, and without appealing to the masses, they'll die off swiftly and silently, unlike games that have lasted decades/centuries.

Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

SpaceRanger2289d ago

Why is Xbox GamePass on this? Not a streaming service.

CaptainCook2289d ago

Xcloud will be included with Xbox Game Pass this year

RazzerRedux2289d ago

And they announced that.....when?

CaptainCook2289d ago (Edited 2289d ago )

@RazzerRedus
Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.

"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

SpaceRanger2289d ago

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.

RazzerRedux2289d ago

@CaptainCook

Thanks. I missed that announcement obviously.

Neither is Uplay or Origin. "Journalism"

2pacalypsenow2289d ago (Edited 2289d ago )

The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.

Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

Bleucrunch2292d ago

Exvalos2292d ago

Omfg lmao!!!!! Never a more perfect time to say that

badz1492292d ago

it's not over 9000 though

Father__Merrin2292d ago

these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them

arkard2292d ago (Edited 2292d ago )

Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions

I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.
https://www.ebay.com/help/p...

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though

nucky642292d ago

not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.

nucky642292d ago

so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.

Cyb3r2292d ago

Some websites sell accounts too Im surprised that noting is being done about this

JackBNimble2292d ago

And they're all stolen accounts

2292d ago
JackBNimble2292d ago

Why are they calling this trading accounts, this is plain and simply stealing.
