(5,586 posts)They constantly bitch about even highly successful games. Especially if new content isn't up to their expectations.
Even insanely successful games like Destiny and WoW are ridiculed in dispicable terms by many, even some of their most loyal fans. "So and so is RUINING the game" or some variation is heard after every expansion pack, content release, published interview or sneak peak at forthcoming features.
I have trouble believing it is because there are female programmer though. Females are highly sought after members of hard core raid guilds and the fan bases in general. Most likely, the "fan" found out that picking on her sex irritated her and they pounced.
Bet they didn't believe it would become a national story though. Serves the bastard right.
