Hello Enthusiacs! The topic of toxicity in gaming is going to be with us for a while. There are a few levels that this can be approached from, and today we start our conversation off talking about how a particular game’s community can go toxic, and how good community management can reduce the toxicity. Chris comes back as a follow on to the last episode as we start off with the recent news from Jeff Kaplan having attempted to address the impact of community toxicity on Overwatch developers, and their comfort interacting with the players.
