    "the addictiveness of games is not the rewards, but rather the denial of rewards" I 100% agree with this, I find myself wanting to play game after game when I'm doing bad or not progressing because I want the gratification of doing good. Ill keep losing and getting more and more angry but I still wanna keep playing just to have that one good game. Its easy to stop playing when you're winning, but once your start losing you fall off the high horse and do everything in your power to get back on it.

Imagine being sound asleep and hearing that. Sometimes i feel like smacking him upside the head for almost giving me a heart attack. I don’t understand getting that mad.

      It's like the pre-game intimidation rituals in professional field sports. Just given how little physical energy is being exerted by gamers it just gives them more than enough mental resources to trash talk their opposition whilst playing the game.
      Can't really be done in normal play in normal field sports due to the complete physical disadvantage it would put you at. + In videogames there's no referee to act as a fulcrum for everyone's rage as the games code itself is the only and best referee, completely unbiased and almost always universally agreed fair.
      Still though gamer rage/trash talk either makes you an insufferable or inspirational player, though... in almost all average cases it makes the player downright insufferable.

    I've noticed that people tend to get angry when they are embarrassed. It's like they need to justify why they did something stupid.
    This is why, to a certain extent, road rage is usually initiated by the person who drives badly or dangerously; they know they messed up and are embarrassed by it. So not liking the feel that they've made themselves look like a fool, they try to blame someone else.
    In gaming, they invest so much emotional energy in the game that if - like in any - something goes wrong then they overreact. They then become embarrassed they've overreacted by something so trivial so they overreact more and so on.

So many people are just extremely selfish, in a hurry and think their time is more important than anyone elses.

    My tennis coach used to tell me that however hard you hit the ball at the wall during training, however hard it will bounce back at you. So if you decides to rage quit at the wall because you had a bad day, be ready for the probability that the ball bounced back at a certain angle and smash your face in, making you even angrier.

    I had my experiences with gamer rage with my randoms yelling at me post game in League. I was a completely brand new player to League who wanted to get into what was the trend at my high school back then. It didn't even take one game for me to get on the receiving end of a gamer rage and it was a really rude one at that - he was so ignorant and kept shouting profanities at me and the only thing I could do was let him say what he could say (I stopped emphasizing gaming as a part of my life way back in 2014 and I didn't want a pointless argument with a stranger over a game). I did reply to him respectfully by saying that "it's just a casual game why are you so upset and I'm new to this game so I would like to some pointers." I don't know how this upset him to the point that it brought on a bigger rage I will not discuss here but it got to the point where I had to block him and days later delete League entirely after knowing this is a common theme within a certain demographic.

    I haven’t seen the whole video yet so forgive me if this is talked about but I really wanted to share:
    In college one of my capstone classes was “the Psychology of passion” and in that class we talked about how some peoples passion can be detrimental to their mental health because they become “obsessive passions”, in which the person associates their personality and their “self” with the passion. I think this is a huge reason why gamer rage occurs, because most of these people are, as you said, good at the game, and it’s often all they do, this puts it on track to become an obsessive passion, and they associate their “self” with the game AND their PERFORMANCE in it. Which is why some people blow up at such seemingly little things, because to them, it’s damaging their self-image
    There’s a LOT more to it but that’s the synopsis have a great day everyone and don’t forget the breathe :)
    TLDR:
    People get so into the game they associate it with their image of their “self”, and thus poor performance or being out-played damages their “self-image” so they react in an aggressive way
    People can avoid this by many things but a HUGE help is to have other hobbies, so all of your time and self-image isn’t condensed into one passion. Ok I’m done now everyone have a great day!

      Not sure about this only bc my boyfriend used to be D1 in League but stopped playing a long while ago. Now he only gets on at my behest for ARURF or for ARAM. He gets that *gamer rage* and flames teammates for being bad at the game (even though half the time I’m the one doing ass, but he’d never tell me that) or just the game in general for bad balancing. Honestly I hate seeing him get angry and I feel bad for the ppl who he yells at, he’s never like that any other time. But I think Dr. K is right, that it’s the denial of a win he believed he should’ve gotten. He knows he’s good at the game and he barely plays now. I never get angry bc I’m just bad at the game and im not competitive over video games, I play for fun or for events.

    The thing about being given the reward and denied the reward makes a lot of sense.
    There are some games that go against that sort of game design like puzzle games. With puzzle games they don't have any sense of being denied the reward. Any time you get close to solving the puzzle but not quite getting it, it's more a sense of progress. There isn't really any sense of losing.
    With Dark Souls you may make progress but you will die in the process & then you have to start again. So that's more of a sense of being denied the reward.

But you now have this new game mode where the best people are winning around 50% but a large majority of the player base wins less than 10% of the time. So that rush of excitement when you get to the end of the game and you are trying to win and you either blow it, get killed in some "sweaty" way, or you win can give you a very wide range of emotions.

    I think extreme gamer rage is encouraged by the climate of ultra competitive multiplayer games that has been cultivated over the last decade or so. We need more games with healthy communities centered around social gameplay. People will still be toxic of course but we need games that don’t encourage toxicity or even make players feel isolated from the community.

    • @Taima
      @Taima Рік тому +12

      I wouldn’t say it’s encouraged because that would imply that it’s a desired thing by the community/concept as a whole. What I would say is that it can make environments and scenarios that are /conducive/ to more frequent instances of gamer rage, which is similar but doesn’t place any intent on anyone. I know there are exceptions like that where Charlie was talking about the cod leagues of yore that would encourage trash talking, but that hardly speaks for gaming competitions as a whole.

    It all comes down to people not dealing with the lack of control they are experiencing. Whether that be from being in a team of people who don't listen or from you making a mistake and trying to then remedy the mistake, with everything going down hill regardless of how well you think you are doing. When you are calm and in control, everything flows. When you are agitated or uncomfortable, you are facing something unexpected and you've lost control. Being agitated is one of the first steps to learning. Most people don't see it as learning and instead, take the first emotion that arises, which is always anger and use it as an escape. The same concept applies to almost every instance in life.
    And then some people are legit just toxic which is usually determined by outside influences. Lack of control just fuels that fire.
    The thrill is in the hunt, not the kill. It's not some hidden secret that humans enjoy the journey of hunting rather than the reward. Hence the denial of the reward being addictive.

    I used to rage a lot at games, and looking back I realized that it was because I wanted so desperately to win so I could prove to myself and others that I was good.
    I knew that raging didn't make me feel any better and sure it was funny to some of the friends I played with, but it ended up being more annoying and bad to my mental health than simply being some kind of thing I could use to blow off some steam.
    It is possible to stop raging at games but it comes as form of practice with yourself in admitting defeat and accepting that there is always room to grow.
    I feel bad for the people who had to endure my countless fits for nothing and for the people who still do rage, and although it is funny to watch, I still hate how it's just something that not all people can help and that it ruins more than it builds.

Ideally, I'd say there's a balance of skill and talent. The more equal the balance, the better

Its a temporary burst of emotions that you were unable to fight back with logic such as weighing the cost of the item your about to destroy.
    I'm glad I was able to dial back my emotions as I got older. It saved me money and it genuinely made my life alot simpler and easier both in and out of video games. Plus I've noticed I enjoyed games more when I try my best and I am satisfied with the outcome no matter win or lose.
