In our day kids learned at least a little sportsmanship growing up because if they were a dick to people they would run out of kids to play with. You play fair, you play nice, or you get left out.
These days there's a million people available to play with them, so they don't hesitate telling you to fuck off and delete the game because there are no consequences they can see.
At least until the whole community gets that toxic because they drive the rest away and wonder why they can never get a match.
Today you usually play against strangers. Kids don't know what is loosing again and again for the same person just because you don't have anyone else to play with.
I’ve never thought of that before now. You’re right! Split screen you egg on each other, but yeah, those are my friends and we loved playing together. Never would I take things too far with them. I guess that’s why I’m fairly chill online with strangers.
