One of my friends kills users in cod by only using a riot shield. There’s that guy on you tube that only uses a blade. I know me and my mate were called all sorts of names for them stunts lol. If you want to in the background play a co op game if you want to be a target play online versus other users lol

Gaming industry and home are guilty of tapping into this competitive side of human nature. Usually so we buy in game stuff. Who wants to have a pea shooter in gta when you can have a tank. Who wants noob clothing when you can have jewel encrusted gold plated look at me I’m rich suit. This is what the gaming industry wants to some degree. I want to be better than you so I buy stuff to make sure I am. If you beat me I’m a noob and if I beat you I’m a hacker and a cheat. What happens though when a user can’t keep paying out. Do they give up on a game, do they cheat or do they work they way up. Can’t imagine a gaming world where random users said well done you played so well without any resentment. I want to feel like I’ve beaten you badly if you say to me I hate you because I better than you I’ve won. As you said hate mail is a form of compliments.

example: a sports fan watching his/her favorite team losing a game. Why be stressed about it, when you’re merely a spectator.

Another example: mcdonalds not selling mcnuggets at 10am/breakfast time.
Silly? Yes indeed.

I’ve seen people Fight/argue over the most trivial things in life.

Why? The world may never know :)

It is a game people, the very nature of it is to be a fun thing to do not a way to vent your real life anxiety. In fact it is supposed to be a way to release tension, not create more.
It isn’t like they are making a ton of real life money from any of this, though some people can do that, I rather doubt that that type of behavior would garner any sponsors to do so.
Great article and it had to be said.

Don’t like how I play, please say it to my face IRL.

Online gaming is too conveniently anonymous.
