No. They don't deserve death threats 

“little worm”

“deserve whatever vitriol that comes their way”

This is exactly the kind of toxicity that people are talking about. The lack of self-awareness is astounding.

The game absolutely has problems and their decision to call things “legacy features” is confounding, but to say that they deserve what they get from…

The subreddit is incredibly toxic. There’s a ton of “I’m a REAL Battlefield fan, so only my opinion matters. Everyone else needs to shut up”

oh my god why are you all the same. you have one joke.

“loud mouth, melodramatic, pathetically overt and perpetually offended, opinionated pansies”

I didn’t notice anything overtly racist.

All of that *and* Nintendo hasn’t had issues getting stock to stores.

Sorry to hear it’s doing so well, since the devs will take that as vindication.

No one asked for everything bad to be scrubbed. Thats a strawman you just made up yourself.

The ‘edgy humor’ in this game feels less like humor and more like straight up statements by the devs.

The gameplay isn’t the problem.

i dont like games where power hungry cops living out their military fantasies of gunning down civilians

“At its core, the game honors the work of dedicated law enforcement officers across the world and in no way intends on glorifying cowardly criminal acts.”

I like the bit in Schreier’s article where he details former staffers noting that Levine doesn’t want a large studio but then like the man with “Auteur Syndrome” he is expects 15 people to do the work of 100+.

In that 2014 announcement, Levine surprised the majority of Irrational Game’s employees with being made redundant, despite the enormous success of their most recent game, BioShock Infinite. He wanted to work somewhere smaller, with far less stress and pressure, so fired swathes of people to achieve this.

I bet all those dozens of people he fucked over out of their jobs by closing an entire studio are at least glad he’s succeeded to become one of the top blue tick crypto pushers on Twitter.

just someone small time with small dick energy. like every “conservative”

Pizza delivery people have a more dangerous job than cops. And none of them demand to be let off the hook when they murder unarmed suspects. Get your tongue off that boot. 

“I hope you’re injured or killed because you dared to say mean things about the most innocent wonderful people of all: American law enforcement officers.”

SWAT, typically, doesn’t lay down shit. They come in after the fact because it’s the worst case scenario but the worst has already taken place. At best they take the shooter alive but only after someone has been harmed or killed. It’s usually after there is a body or two on the floor though that SWAT actually does…
