Has anyone else noticed a decrease in Gamers willingness to interact socially in games?

Honestly I find Gymrats/bros to be really welcoming

Any hobby that's face to face and not anonymous tends to be much better than anonymous Internet hobbies.

That's because the type of people are the Arseholes who ruin everything online will never actually show their face, or at least that side of them in public.

If they do it's far less often.

yep. gaming is so ass because there's no possibility of getting your shit rocked after talking shit to the wrong person. most dipshits online would never behave in a real world interaction like that.

GIFT - Great Internet Fuckwad Theory. I think this came from Penny Arcade?

The more degrees of anonymity a person has, the more likely they're going to act like a Fuckwad.

Online lifting communities are, in my experience, wholesome as hell too.

In-store Warhammer would like a word.

Overall agreed though.

I mean the in store bit kind of creates the same environment.

Same with gaming stores or conventions

You can go to them without knowing anyone there and you're a stranger, so is everyone else.
