@dril:

your meltdown is worse than my melt down. you're spiraling harder than me. im barely even showing my ass compared to you.

I care about toxicity. So does Valve, apparently. And PC Gamer. The problems with this genre are newsworthy. And it's been an issue for two straight decades.

But I guess 'problems have underlying causes which change can address' is an invitation for everyone to commit the attribution fallacy and attack whatever gurning projection they'd rather be dealing with.

Meanwhile, the game's still a cesspool - in your own words - and treating the symptoms will not fix that. Maybe they should treat something else.
