re: 'Games were supposed to be a fun career choice: Now I'm afraid I'll get murdered

The gaming subculture is populated by a lot of full grown men that act like children. They tend to act like the whiny assholes that they are when a game doesn't meet their desired specifications. I'm pretty embarrassed of my gaming hobby due to these types of people.

However, it's Pretty hard to come through on a death threat from mommy and daddy's basement.

Game developers need to take a deep breath and realize that there are substantial pockets of their customer base that aren't rational human beings and the Internet only exacerbates that.
