Some user named masterlomaster seems to have broken the site – when viewing the “Nomination” thread, ads pop up. Please fix this as soon as possible, and give the organizer a reward.

Recently, a bizarre incident occurred in the USA. I initially only saw a mention of it on VK, but today I learned the details. It turns out that this is not an isolated case, but a whole phenomenon.
A guy had a falling out with a rival in an online game. And he decided to get revenge. The revenge turned out to be truly terrifying.

I immediately thought: it's good that something like this is not possible here. For now, it's not possible. Well, but there they should quickly amend the legislation so that such "jokers" get a significant prison sentence – then the number of people wanting to repeat their antics will quickly drop to zero.

All that remains for us is to take note and react quickly. Because our gamers, en masse, are just as vicious. They will quickly adopt the idea and put it into practice.
It's not just gamers who are malicious; it's people in general. And not the majority, but a specific, not very large percentage. A very, very small percentage of highly malicious and inadequate individuals. They just happen to be memorable. And there's a feeling that this percentage is growing. :(
Among gamers, the percentage of toxic players is critically high; just take a look at the forums or channels of popular games to see for yourself. Or go into the games themselves (this is for those who like adrenaline). People aren't stupid, they're just naturally inert. They need to be motivated, stimulated, and encouraged. The problem is that these days, no one wants to do that; it's easier to control the crowd. (This refers to the remote part of the comment.) P.S.: The percentage isn't increasing, the complaints are just getting louder. This is due to well-known events, both current and upcoming.
What exactly is meant by "critical" in this context? For example, Hearthstone is a popular game. In it, it's considered trendy to add the last opponent to your friends list after losing a game, just to insult them. Especially if the opponent is also a "sore loser." Because of this, many people are hesitant to add friends after matches. But, based on my experience, aggressive jerks who engage in such practices are a very small percentage. Approximately one in every 100-200 won games. They just stand out because you're not mentally prepared for the encounter. Is this a "critical percentage"?
In my opinion, the same percentage exists in real life; gamers are no different. In real life, people simply mask their behavior because there, real consequences can occur. Gamers are even more peaceful because the main reason people retreat into virtual worlds is the desire to avoid dealing with the pressures and imperfections of the real world. Overall, the level of aggression here is actually lower. It's simply natural selection. Virtual worlds attract those who lack the aggression to fight in the real world.
People who are far from gaming are most concerned about games because of their possible impact on the mental health of players and, in particular, the increase in the level of aggression and cruelty in gamers. And, as several studies have shown, they are worried in vain. Scientists at the University of York conducted a series of experiments with three thousand volunteers and found that, contrary to fears, neither GTA V nor other violent games can turn a gamer into a sociopath. ... it doesn't matter if you fight aliens or ordinary people in the game - your level of aggression will not increase in any case.

I tend to agree with Marmot. "All Dota players are uncultured because they play Dota; they play Dota because they are uncultured" (quote). Or, paraphrasing a classic, "Games are to character as wind is to fire: they extinguish the small and fan the large." The problem is that there are clearly more people of the second type (as a simple visual analysis of most gaming forums and channels can eloquently demonstrate). The reasons for this situation are a separate and very complex topic.
Ment, the screenshot was taken simply as a reminder of those moments when the Sphere of Inhibition or Cloak of Negation on the enemy turns an easy victorious battle into a grueling one, or even a losing one, if too much depends on magic for us. Specifically in this battle, my army was already so strong that the Sphere on Crag doesn't save him, and the losses are compensated by the Cloak of the Lich King - we will even end up with a net gain.
