But I, personally, have had some good fun playing this game. So it absolutely does merit that description in at least one sense. Which is part of my point here.

Oh wow, you really converted me.

No fucking shit. Gamers can be some of the most entitled assholes ever. Why the hell would someone want to engage with spoiled shits who armchair game develop, as if content and features are as easy to make as a meme template.

You still haven’t read the article, have you?

That’s not a correction. “Some” is the obvious and expected qualifier to that statement. Some Christians all over the country. Some men are trash. Some white people are racist.

They come in illegally from Indiana, you fucking putz. Go unfasten your lips from Sarah Huckabee’s lowest hanging teat.

“Guns aren’t the problem. Look at Chicago, where there are strict gun crimes!”

Once was enough. That it keeps happening--and all we can do are offer “thoughts and prayers” to a god that is not listening, never existed, or is dead (or all three)--tells you everything you need to know about how much this country values life when weighed against its Rambo fetish.

“Nothing can be done,” says only country where this regularly happens.

You do realize Kotaku is mainly about VIDEOGAMES, right?

Must be nice to be white , male. Us minorities will just stop fighting against racism and bigotry and go outside and play 

Oh, come on. The writer loves the series, dislikes this aspect of it, writes a piece that explains what happens in the games and what might be behind it.

Part of what Ario is exploring in this piece is why this happens in these games—the extent to which it is elements of the community, the content of the games, the culture of game difficulty, etc. Plenty of possible factors. As Ario also points out, most of the messages in the games aren’t like this.

I’m glad to see a high profile article on this subject, because this has been always been the worst aspect of these games and is a major reason I never bother reading other player’s messages past the first week or two of release. The worst part is those consistently see higher ratings than actual helpful messages or…
