A developer of Oblivion remake Skyblivion, which rebuilds Bethesda’s beloved Elder Scrolls 4 using the Skyrim engine, says they have experienced death threats.
If anyone is wondering why…yeah there’s no reason. It’s just sad losers trolling them and hacking their Discord for no reason other than (probably) the lulz.
Remember that it’s most likely just edgy kids, the internet becomes a lot more bearable when you just assume all the dumbos are little kids trying to act cool.
It’s incredibly common for game developers. Change a variable from a 5 to a 4 and you get death threats. Change it back to 5 ane you get more death threats.
The reality is that a lot of gamers simply aren’t very good people (and now they often have the far-right cheering them on).
I loved working in the industry but the constant tantrums and entitlement made it easy to leave.
There are as many unbearable man-children as there are socially underdeveloped teens on the internet. As sad as that is, even if we banned teenagers from the internet it wouldn’t improve anonymous spaces all that much.

Perhaps it says something about us when this is the kind of shit our children find funny.
We should make the internet unavailable to kids and teens, the temptation of trolling is too much for their undeveloped brains.

There’s shitty adults too for sure, but I still think a lot of the shitheads online are 14 year olds.
