In no way am I (Eric)the type of gamer that abandons my fellow team in the middle of a game. There are plenty of gamers out there who don’t have an ounce of teamwork in their body and don’t care about what happens to the people they are playing with. These people enjoy exiting to the lobby in the middle of a gaming session leaving their team short of players and at a large disadvantage. But is there ever a time when I feel that I have no choice but to leave the game that I am playing in? Of course there are. Below I will talk about a few different instances when I feel that it is ok to abandon the game you are in.
Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.
France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?
People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.
No source, no truth
who approved this garbage?
but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.
Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?
I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.
Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.
Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.
owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.
I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.
But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.
Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
With the upcoming release of the Star Wars Themed Console, GameExchangeShop.com takes a look at reasons to get excited for the game and looks of the console.
That does look sick and the sound is even more awesome. Too bad the darn Xbox 360 is so expensive still.
When the Wii U drops the xbox prices will take a serious nose dive. Hopefully they still have that particular one floating around retail.
When the game laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags like hell and its pretty much unplayable. I'm looking at you black ops >:(
Lag can be a huge frustration for sure!
What I don't understand is where this sense of entitlement came from. No one owns the time of other people. If they want to leave the match, it's their choice, whatever the motivation (prof. games aside).
If that puts your "team" at a disadvantage, suck it up, and use some of that "skill" to push buttons faster than the other guys...
When you have other shit to do...
People take this stuff way too seriously.
...when you're having chest pains, and think you might be having a heart attack? Or if you smell smoke, and nothing is cooking in your house?
What a dumb article.
