Recently, a former Valve screenwriter who worked on the Half-Life, Portal and Left 4 Dead franchises spoke out about toxic gamers.
Answering one of the comments that "most developers make games only for themselves," Chet Faliszek stated:
If you hate game developers, you hate games, you know? I'll say it straight. If you rejoice in other people's failures, if you think that game developers don't understand anything, and only you - LittleCanada12 (this, I suppose, is your age or IQ) - know the "truth"...dude, just keep it to yourself.
If you hate developers so much that you write about it like this, if you don't appreciate the people who do what you claim to "love" - then you don't really love it. You hate it. So get off.
Faliszek has nothing against criticism itself. The problem arises when this "criticism" turns into a simple accusation of incompetence or greed of developers:
You can say that you "don't like it." But you say: "Oh, these are skins, oh, the desire to make money. This is just a replacement of assets." Oh, get off already. Seriously, I'm tired of gamers. Gamers who... hate games. You hate games. Just say directly that you hate games. And I know what you will answer me: "The last game I played is Half-Life: Opposing Force, because I'm a real gamer," or something like that.
