Gamer Toxicity Debate

You're getting downvoted a lot, but you're not wrong. Game companies, like Ubisoft, have been getting a lot of heat in particular for this lately...

Feel like it's worth linking to the Stop Killing Games campaign (https://www.stopkillinggames.com/) here! See also other recent thread on this story (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41665593) where one of the organizers commented on the relevance (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

Clearly most people aren't bothered by it as it's an extremely popular game that has remained popular months after release.
