Lauren started writing for PC Gamer as a freelancer in 2017 while chasing the Dark Souls fashion police and accepted her role as Associate Editor in 2021, now serving as the self-appointed chief cozy games enjoyer. She originally started her career in game development and is still fascinated by how games tick in the modding and speedrunning scenes.
in 2012, Thatgamecompany's creative director Jenova Chen had aspirations to reach a much broader audience of players. Journey was popular on console, with an audience that Chen jokingly described as men in their 30s who were conveniently journalists and awards judges, but"teenagers hated Journey," he said. I must have been an outlier.
"When we made Journey, that very person who was teabagging another person in Call of Duty was suddenly posting on our forum to say: 'For that person who I was playing with, I'm so sorry I had to go. My mom called me for dinner,'" Chen says."That's the same player who was a nasty person in another game. So I realized that nobody is born toxic. It's really just the environment we formed.
They've not always gotten it right. During his talk on toxicity, Chen described one implementation of the social benches in Sky—places where players can sit together and exchange text chat. For a period of time, benches could fit eight players at once, a group audience that represented a tantalizing opportunity for the reaction-seeking baby brain.
