As someone who is into the FGC, I really do hate that when they do get publicity, it's only in a bad light thanks to those recent events.
Still, it can be a good community if you can get into it, just a hard of the "Old guard" were raised in the days were fighting games were exclusive to arcades so there was a real "Git Gud" mentality, seeing how you had to pay to play.
That and I do suggest that if people want to get to know some other FGC personalities to check out Miles923 on YouTube, who's famous for making tutorials, making fighting game vids and being a remember of the Killer Instinct Development team.
I'm not trying to be aggressive, but did you read the whole thing? At least check out the conclusion. I'd argue it paints the FGC in a very positive way.
Oh, don't worry, I did, great piece by the way
I was just agreeing with the fact that Cross Assault was a fucking mess and, because a large amount of FGC coverage is often done only on specialist websites for the FGC like SRK or EventHubs, it's only when something bad like this happens does it really enter the mainstream side of gaming news (Outside of the usual hype for new releases and reviews anyway)
Hell, I'll be honest, I had zero idea I'd be reading an FGC article on the Escapist when I woke up today, Thanks for that by the way
As someone who is into that scene, I do agree that there is a lot of awesome welcoming people in it, I'm just still mad salty about how Aris shitty behavior helped nearly kill the Namco version of SFxT.
While Capcom did most of the damage, him being a shithead live in front of thousands as a "Iconic Memeber of the FGC" most likely didn't help.
