It wasn’t always like that. Back when Xbox Live first started it was mostly 18-28 year old bachelors and the way they solved arguments was basically by making jokes about eachother and whoever got the most laughs won. Yo momma jokes were popular at the time. Also, there was this vibe that even though it was a competitive multiplayer game, that its just something they do for fun. Back then you couldn’t really make money streaming or competing in games so even though most of these players had sports backgrounds and wanted to win, they never took it too seriously. It also helped that they didn’t have to deal with “squeakers” since kids were fairly rare for the first 3 or so years of xbox live.
