“Regarding What’s Been Happening”- Ooblets Response to Epic Games Store Backlash

This should be ranking higher. This is one of the most disturbing things I've seen on the internet, in that it showcases the complete lack of empathy the "gamers" have for these two, actual real life human beings. It's turned into a virtual lynch mob over which game launcher they decided to use.

Some of the responses to that post are literally calling them crybabies because they're complaining about death threats and saying they should have anticipated that because "they offended gamers".

And I don't care how rude or offensive their original announcement was, have some damn sympathy when people receive hundreds of death threats.

Obligatory flag, but I do want to know why there is an uproar in the first place? Were players in some way invested in the game's development process? This is not mentioned anywhere.

Here's an article from TNW with a different perspective:

Here’s the reddit response, in which gamers demonstrate that they’re still the worst people on the internet.
