Madden players tend to be a little... different than your average pro gamer.

Most pro gamers are very skilled and usually help develop or play test games. But I mean if we just want to simplify everything all NFL players do is throw or catch a ball.

I can’t see in any way shape or form how twitch is a positive thing. Contributes absolutely nothing to society.

Coming from someone who grew up playing video games like 8 hours a day plus.

I get watching someone play through a game if you’re into gaming. I’ve done it a time or two.

But I’ve never gotten donating money or following someone on their to the point that they’re like a “celeb” to me.

I always assumed Madden or FIFA dudes would be a bit more normal than professional fantasy game players, is that what you're saying?

Wanna know what’s more pathetic than that? That some of these pro players make 6 figure incomes by streaming their gameplay. And most do it without college degrees. These are some pretty pathetic people in our society, baw.

Sadly a lot of gamers tend to be loner types. So more than likely that will be his background.

Really sucks to see this. Innocent people playing video games.
Can’t go anywhere anymore without some psychopath.

I still blame technology and social media the most.

I figured he was saying they're more meatheadish and tend to be more physically aggressive when they lose.

Were the victims liberals or conservatives? That will inform me on how this board will react.
