Increased toxicity in gaming every year

[MARS-03]

Can someone say what happened? I started playing games quite a while ago and I can say that even in the era of COD MW2 people were no where near as toxic as they are now, now a lot of people are insanely toxic. What made this change happen?

i got my 1st router in 1994, how long back are we talking about?

Wasn't it just a hub or a switch?

Here in this space it's just people expressing themselves (some poorly, most others not), but there's not any sense of immersion (or recreational purpose) to be threatened or broken: it isn't my space, bought and paid for, but something that belongs to everyone here collectively.

If only!

People would generally have ping values of somewhere between 100 to 150. Sometimes 200. Or worse.

I am not sure about the year. I am refering to the technology. Maybe you can still have dial-up or dial-in today in some areas. It depends on location, but it wasn't as responsive as optical fiber.

amazingly some games worked really well.

ill give you 1 example. Quake 3 on the Dreamcast we had 33.3k modems with 175 ping but the gameplay was really smooth, very playable.
