I know it is praxis to shit on gamers but PDX is a very toxic studio itself, some devs/execs have a very known history of being toxic, Johan is famous for it. There have been tons of controversies with PDX burning bridges with content creators too over shitty corporate PR.
Gamers are shit.
Do you know what is just as bad as gamers? Shitty toxic companies that treat everyone, their staff and the community like shit.
Footnote PDX is also famous for having absurdly bad working conditions and pay, famously DDRJake quit and being Lead Developer for EU4 and his take away was that his 200 viewer stream plus small YT channel was paying more than a full time job as Lead Dev.
That PDX is trying to claim the high ground here over gamer toxicity is just karma, they pretty much deserve it at this point.
I feel sorry for some people still stuck there though.
They're also famous for releasing barebones, broken games and trying to slowly patch them into being good enough while selling DLC. The one that really burns me is Stellaris. That game has basically been a years and years long beta, and it still isn't fixed up properly
