@FredFromSubway I get the comparison you're making. I'm just saying it goes deeper than the fact that fortnite is really tame comparatively. MSM especially in Aus are just delusional when is comes to thinking video games of any "violence" make murderers out of kids.
@FredFromSubway ...What this whole discussion is about? If "violent" games make kids violent. It should be video games either do, or do not effect someone's psyche.
@FredFromSubway So you're saying they should be slamming gears instead of fortnite? What say you about all the people in our community that have been "chainsawing someone in half" since a young age? Have those of us not grown up into functional non-violent members of society? Is that not ....
@FredFromSubway Video games don't cause violence period. In kids, or in adults. Short tempered and violent _people_ will tend to act out on those tendencies, regardless of the media they consume.
@FredFromSubway I would be too. We've been through too many cycles of a release dying out, hype builds up to a new release, only to have many of the same community downfalls.
Are future releases of gears doomed to have a lacklustre APAC community? What do we feel has caused this in the past? What can be done to turn this around? What can we do as a community, if anything? 25-30 teams was a good start for gears 4, got my hopes up not gonna lie
