This is something we've been dealing with in games for a while now, but there's something different about this one. It stems from the hostility competitive gamers have towards other games. I have to ask, where did this even come from? When this article was posted on the Philly FGC group on Facebook it erupted with "I say fuck project M never liked that shit in the first place." and "Na screw project M shit needs to die." How do we deal with this? Why do people feel the need to antagonize fans of other games that don't even affect them. It's one thing if you're vying for stream time on the big stage, and it's another thing to not want anyone to play the game at all.
