It's incredibly common for game developers. Change a variable from a 5 to a 4 and you get death threats. Change it back to 5 ane you get more death threats.

The reality is that a lot of gamers simply aren't very good people (and now they often have the far-right cheering them on).

I loved working in the industry but the constant tantrums and entitlement made it easy to leave.
