Fallout co-creator: endless online arguments are pushing people out of gaming, not saving it

[Redaktion]

Fallout co-creator Tim Cain warns that toxic, taste-based arguments in gaming are driving both players and developers away from the medium, as online debates increasingly dismiss the legitimacy of differing priorities like frame rate, visuals, or narrative features. In response, Cain urges fans to shift focus from fighting to funding, arguing that "buy the games you want to see more of" is the most effective way to shape the industry's future.

The internet as a whole is driving people away from a great many things because of insufferable groups of people brigading. I'm just glad I got the experience the internet before it went to s*** around ~2015-2016.

The internet went to s*** in 2010. The advent of Xbox 360 Live gave prominence to canned gaming like Call of Duty, the rise of Facebook (data theft), killing of internet freedom (IP enforcements used snuff content) and the beginning of streaming rather than ownership.
