Reddit Steam S Torrent Of Abuse
The famously hands-off company has begun removing the impact of “off-topic” review bombs because gamers have begun targeting titles for issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the game itself.When the tiny indie game developer Glumberland announced it was moving its title, Ooblets, to the Epic Game Store — a move that would guarantee the studio’s studios continued survival and allow it to build more games — it was met with an absolute torrent of abuse. Valve has made various changes to its review policies ( back in 2017 and earlier this year) as a result. While the tactic has been used for years, it’s become increasingly popular. If you pay any attention at all to the gaming community, it’s easy to see why they would.One trend in gaming is “review bombing,” in which thousands of people downvote a game to punish its creators for changes they don’t like.
These folks believe they hold the magic power of the wallet over developers who should cower before them and capitulate to any of their demands. I think their extreme passion for games has made them perceive the people who provide those games as some sort of mystical “other”, an outgroup that’s held to a whole set of weird expectations. Ooblets Co-developer Ben Wasser provided a disturbing image to show what he and his wife received.There’s a strange relationship a segment of the gaming community has with game developers. When they told their community, the news went viral online and in Discord, leading to an avalanche of attacks from people who had never seen or heard of their game.
When gamers thought they’d seen a change to Spider-Man’s graphics engine, they went nuts with conspiracy theories and attacks until the senior graphics engineer for the company had to step in to discuss the change. Nor is it because of social issues or political commentary, unless you think review-bombing Shadow of the Tomb Raider for going on sale too quickly was part of someone’s agenda. (Emphasis added).In Wasser’s case, people stormed the company’s Discord and attempted to frame the developer as having made a variety of anti-Semitic messages because they were angry that he’d made a decision about where to distribute a video game in a manner that prioritized the continued survival of his tiny, indie studio.One of the standard ways that this kind of situation gets swept under the rug is with an “oh, well, it’s because of EA,” or “oh, well, it’s because of loot crates.” It isn’t because of either of these things. Some of the most apparently incendiary screenshots of things I’ve said are all along these lines. And if they choose to not buy the game when it’s released, that’s totally fine with us.Whenever I’ve mentioned that we, as random people happening to be making a game, don’t owe these other random people anything, they become absolutely enraged. I understand the relationship people think they might be owed when they exchange money for goods or services, but the people using the terms consumers and potential customers here are doing so specifically because we’ve never actually sold them anything and don’t owe them anything at all.
But it’s probably not the kind of decision that people like McCoy have any say over. Gamers aren’t wrong to perceive this as being consumer-hostile. Gamers claim to want data, but when data is provided, that data is “bullshit” unless it conforms to said gamers’ preconceived notions of what it should look like.At the same time, however, McCoy doesn’t answer one of the persistent complaints that Apex Legends’ players raise — namely, the fact that they are forced to buy Apex Coins using currency conversion schemes that obviously leave them with unspent worthless “cash.” This is a deliberate trick that companies have long used to force you to give them more money. Very few gamers understand much about the economics of making games — but McCoy is supposedly bullshitting based on a GameInformer article about another company’s estimate of Apex Legends’ gross earnings.
McCoy’s repeated attempts to provide context around how pricing decisions are made are dismissed as bullshitting. But there’s also no arguing that gaming has become a deeply toxic community in some respects. I both understand why many of these mechanics anger players and agree with avoiding titles that implement predatory loot systems. I’m speaking broadly to the situation because these toxic community issues are far larger than any specific incident, including this one and both “sides” — developers and players — are unhappy with the end result.I’ve written a great deal of coverage on loot boxes and EA, none of it complimentary. Players see themselves as being at the mercy of developers, while the dev team may feel abused and ignored by a toxic minority of players. I think Wasser’s assessment of the “strange relationship” he refers to is accurate.
They’re still a minority of gamers today. Far too many people these days view their own anger as intrinsic justification for whatever terrible thing they want to say or do online, regardless of the harm they cause.These people — the “ass-hats” and “dicks” as Drew McCoy calls them — have always been a minority of total gamers. It’s not just directed at EA, or at “political” titles, or at loot crates. That didn’t stop someone from swatting 16-year-old Fortnite champion Kyle Giersdorf last week. Swatting someone — which is to say, sending the police to someone’s house by declaring that there’s an armed gunman inside with hostages — has literally gotten a person murdered.
