A developer of Oblivion remake Skyblivion, which rebuilds Bethesda’s beloved Elder Scrolls 4 using the Skyrim engine, says they have experienced death threats.
Maybe it’s just me then. I know it happens elsewhere, but it just seems to happen more often in games. I feel like I’m reading stories all the time about developers getting threatened, but I feel like it’s much more rare to see for instance stories about filmmakers or authors being threatened.
Naw OP is right. Music fans, tv show fans, etc all have these weird subgroups that take everything way too seriously and go after people or make threats etc etc. I think it’s more whenever you hyper concentrate people, boil them down like this, that this stuff happens.
I don’t think it’s games that is the issue. You see this in various other places as well.
