I can give some; A player started a charity event (proposed to) involving the dev team playing the game at its highest possible difficulty, difficulty 10, in a game where the highest achievement is obtained at difficulty 7, after which there are no achivements, so to play dif 10 you gotta love the game and be insanely good at it. Said challenge happens on the hardest scenario of the game, a difficult planet with a weird name that i forgot.
Cool, I guess.
Another player added to the challenge that he would pay the dev 1000 dollars, but not for charity, no no, but to prove that dif10 is fucking impossible. Which triggered a ' discussion ' that brought some 'git gud' players to be overzealous. They doxxed the first guy, sent death threats and other things too.
in short, he got his life ruined because he attempted a fun charity event.
I don't engage with these communities...but it ended up in an article so i happen to know about it.
To add a bit more clarity:
Difficulty 10 isn't that hard. I regularly play on 10 and I'm not great at the game.
The truly challenging part of the challenge was that the devs were supposed to use specifically chosen niche, underutilized, and poorly balanced weapons and gear to prove the point that the devs are out of touch in regards to the gameplay and balance of the vast majority of the equipment available to players.
A big aspect of this whole situation is that it arose because a huge chunk of the playerbase is fed up with the developer's decisions.
which is true (and i played difficult games in the past) but does it deserve the kind of response they had? My feelings about online gaming is that it was either the most fun (not relevant to the difficulty) or weirdly miserable. In the end, I think it's the overly online crowd that does this, usually active players can be far more chill---
I thought the challenge was because it was a hive world which is a difficulty multiplier due to the alien's home turf advantage including underground areas, special abilities like burrowing, and hive lords (sand worms). I missed the weapon choice restrictions.
Surely the only reply to the 'get gud' mob is to tell them to post a video of them doing it or gtfo. If they can't do it, they pay $1000 to charity.
