    I don’t think it’s games that is the issue. You see this in various other places as well.

      Maybe it’s just me then. I know it happens elsewhere, but it just seems to happen more often in games. I feel like I’m reading stories all the time about developers getting threatened, but I feel like it’s much more rare to see for instance stories about filmmakers or authors being threatened.

        Naw OP is right. Music fans, tv show fans, etc all have these weird subgroups that take everything way too seriously and go after people or make threats etc etc. I think it’s more whenever you hyper concentrate people, boil them down like this, that this stuff happens.

        That’s what I found as well. Some gamers seem to be overly emotional over little things, and are defensive with their favourite games.
