I just feel betrayed. I suffered terrible humiliation in my highschool years for being a gamer, and then, to my surprise, The gaming company started to marketing to the same people that would beat us up in high school. Just doesn't sit right with me.

At the end day though, it boils down to this; now you can bully them in a world where you are physically supeior (kind of).
