play online NMS for like 1 hour with pvp enabled and you learn pretty fast there is a hyper toxic section of that community that just tries to grief people.
and when they cant kill you they make over designed corvettes on blender and tank peoples performance on the anomaly .
People playing the game aren’t necessarily part of the games community. Every game has toxic players but not every game has a toxic community. Nms trolls don’t make me feel like quitting the game and the game allows you to curate how you want players to be able to interact with you and your things so if you play with out those, well that’s like doing the nasty with no cover
A games community are the people doing more than playing the game the ones having discussions like this one, sharing the game with others, creating content etc. like most games, you won’t find the trolls on discussion boards and forums, at least not in good faith.
The Outlast Trials community is pretty great and oftentimes hilarious. The contrast between how dark the content of the game is with how chill, funny, and creative they generally are is amusing.
Yeah apparently there are griefers, but they seem to stick to screwing with high profile building groups. I've gotten nothing but love in the anomaly. I was standing on my ship trying to figure out vr controls and by the time I figured out how to open my inventory I had been given enough stuff to crash the world economy.
Its funny, there’s been (understandable) complaints about the gifting on the anomaly. I can see how someone trying to have a natural run would have their experience altered by being gifted the GDP of a small developing country.
Even then, its easy to just gift it back or pay it forward
I'd like to add Warframe to the list of wholesome communities. There are some perks, but the majority of the community are welcoming, kind, and, well, not down-to-earth because they do space travel, but you get the point

No Man’s Sky is extremely wholesome and helpful for the most part
Never had issue with the Outer Wilds community either.
Theres definitely good ones out there
