I haven’t realized if people are being driven out of the game over someone trolling them. The monthly active players seems to stay consistent over this past few months. I don’t believe people you like to interact with are being driven out of the game.
Well I haven’t played in years, but I strongly suspect that exceptionally low ratio of female voices I referred to was not just because the game itself does not appeal to women.
The game has never had a female player base anyway. Not a single female esport player? Is it really impossible just don’t like the game? Only 10% of female are gamers anyway. And I don’t think that’s because theyve been victim to trolling. They probably just don’t like gaming anyways.
It is a commonly known issue that women avoid going on comms in games. For the simple fact that an incredible high percent of the time, doing so means being dog piled by the rest of the server. Sure plenty still do it anyway, but sometimes shockingly enough, some people want to play games to relax.
Anecdotally it feels like they’re more present in games than ever but if only a small percent participate in the hobby and that small percent constantly deals with this type of behaviour, do you think that’s going to encourage more to join?
People taking out their shitty days or personalities on others in gaming has been an issue overdue for addressing for a minute now.
