Online gaming = faith in humanity lost.

I don't really game online much these days, but the past few weeks I've been I have been dabbling in multiplayer.

One this that immediately strikes me is that I used to play a lot when I was younger and I don't remember people being this abusive?

Such rhetoric as "I hope you die of cancer" isn't uncommon. In fact the language of the average gamer from my recent experience is that of someone with learning or behavioural disabilities, or worse having suffered abuse or serious bullying.

Stick people behind the safety and anonymity of a keyboard and they become ‘double hard b******s’.

Am I just getting old or are people getting worse?

What games are you playing? I play a lot of L4D2 and never ever get any people like that.

Awesomenauts because it's quick and easy.

You only have to dip in to the general chat room (in-game) to see the issue first-hand. The devs do moderate but they can't be there 24/7.

I think your getting a bit old for it lol

It's just words it happens a lot on CS most I think people do it to psych you out and make you mad so ur off your game.

It happens in sports when I played rugby they do similar stuff but just call it sledging maybe not say I hope u get cancer but something not to far off at times

I understand but that's face-to-face. I played rugby for years and if you've the balls to say it to my face, then that's fine.

But you're probably right about getting too old for it, that was my suspicion.

...you will find a good group of lads who have a lot of fun at some point.

I already do and we go down the pub together!

But I hear you, perhaps I need to either stick to my stead SP or when it comes to MP play with OcUKers.

How are the graphics?

They deteriorate the longer I play!

They should exterminate the current generation and start over tbh

Amen sister.
