After yesterday’s post, I decided to try some other multiplayer games to see how I would feel about returning to WoW. A few rounds of Among Us reminded me that people can brigade, can have private chat channels for spreading information (false, true, and otherwise), and that other people don’t care if they grief you.
So, I contacted my friend this morning and thanked him but said “No thanks.” Many people are shitty people in online games and there is no check on that. That kind of thing is what motivates my doctoral research.
