When did gaming get so toxic? I would blame grifters but they aren't even at the forefront anymore, there's a legion of gamers™ that just hate on anything

ever since they appeared in games and started charming the boys with their pheromones they keep making the boys aggressive and now the boys are attacking each other to claim the mate

When Sony joined the industry.

Define "toxic" because shit-talking in gaming has been a thing since its inception and, in fact, has only decreased since.

It happened when manchild pro gaming streamers blew up and everyone started acting like narcissist faggots who can't tell the difference between high school recess and the rest of the world.

Most games are terrible, that said. This past years I've stopped talking shit as much. If I don't like something I just ignore it, don't buy it, won't even acknowledge its existence. Co-worker starts talking about a game I make? Immediately change the subject, advertisement about a game I dislike? I turn off my device or computer and engage in another activity. I'm done getting worked up on behalf of people that want me to care about things that I shouldn't even acknowledge the existence of.

I'd blame Cyberpunk 2077 launch that mindbroke normies into being TORtanic fags. I feel that was the watershed moment when people started to embrace the idea that talking about games failing is an entertainment by itself.

matchmaking. Every game turned into watch my number go up simulator and people attach value to the number on their screen and they get angry when it doesn't go up.

If you had any real experience with videogames that goes back further than a couple years, you'd have witnessed a horrible decline in mainstream game quality and you wouldn't need to ask such dumb questions.

What actually changed is that there's an uptake of shiteaters who run defense for every anti human corporation.

This.

Also Zoomers. This generation ruined modern gaming.

I don't remember CounterStrike or Battlefield 2 being toxic. It was just a game people played for fun. Nobody really cared if you were bad at the game. Even MMOs like FF11 and EverQuest people saw the game as a way to socialize and help each other.

Now you have games like COD where people shot obscenities at each other, FF14 where people will kick you out of pickup groups because your not a hardcore player with best in slot gear and games like ARC where people spawn camp on a map to troll other players.

Americans are fucking vile people and because they own majority of all media people get influences from them. Everything was perfect before trump and he ended the golden era of gaming
