TLDR

Account ScrubQuotesX posted a video of Super Smash Bros Ultimate with the statement that competitive videogames are ruining videogames. Users replied that the claim is incorrect and that competition is not objectively bad. One response noted the inconsistency of celebrating wins as skill while blaming losses on tryhards. Another defended high skill ceilings by comparing them to activities not everyone can do. A separate post observed that players in fighting games or kart racers often complain when opponents try to win.

@ScrubQuotesX🔊 Competitive videogames are ruining videogames
@kitsuneredFESA lot of gamers will hop on something like a fighting game, kart racer, or literally anything with a focus on multiplayer, and be absolutely baffled over the concept of the other players trying to win and proceed to complain about that online. Like what did you expect?
@HoundoomfieHoly fuck literally everything about this rant is incorrect saying it is OBJECTIVELY BAD to make competitive games and that competition is objectively less fun is braindead
@RamsesDecreesIf serious things are INHERENTLY not fun to you you're gonna have a bad time
@mysticinbirthdude got ass raped in under night in birth.
@RileyEatsGoodQuite simply, this is retarded. Gaming, like any hobby, is not for everyone. Asserting that every medium or occupation should be equally accessible regardless of skill only knee caps growth and incentive. Don’t like competition? Don’t play online.
@UltimaShadowXYou don’t get it. If I win I’m the best player alive and if I lose I am playing against loser tryhards.
@sammosammyCompetitive games are bad because the skill ceiling is higher fewer people can play it. And why is that bad again? Why does every single video game have to be accessible to every human being on the planet? It's like saying hang-gliding is bad because obese people can't do it.
@Frozt_KSA@kitsuneredFES I swear toxic casuals are genuinely the most annoying subset of gamer
@Unsure_ShpeeI remember saying that I found winning in fighting games fun and I got told that I need to seek therapy
