Sometimes the “fans” behind a game or franchise end up screwing up. Yes, that’s a dirty word that you might not expect to read in the media. But I’m one of those who loves call things by their name. And what they do is crap.
Behaviors that are out of the ordinary, because being a fan of something does not give you the right to insult, belittle or harass people. And that’s pretty much what’s happened these days.
Aaron Greenberg supports Santa Monica and the people behind God of War Ragnarok
Some God of War fans have blamed people at the studio on social media for the delays and lack of information. Some even sent photos of their penises to women inside the studio.
In this context, Cory Barlog himself released a official statement asking for respect
Always good to remember and respect the real humans who work so hard to make the games we all love. 🙏🏻💚💙🎮 https://t.co/2xwFacZp18

On a personal note, I agree with Greenberg’s message and express my support for Santa Monica. Passion for a game doesn’t have to end with actions like this. And by the way a message, this act is an example that there are toxic people everywhere, and these do not represent any community, they are just assholes.
