Competitiveness doesn’t breed toxicity. Low integrity and moral standards breeds toxicity. Bad game management breeds toxicity. Bad people breed toxicity.
The issues with gaming isn’t because of competitiveness. Maybe the lack of being involved in anything competitive, but it isn’t because of competitiveness. The lack of competitiveness is what makes so many gamers toxic.
Do you think Smurfs, those with alternate accounts, exploiting glitches and bugs, or any other form of cheating are doing it because they are competitive? No. It’s about feeling superior, at the extent of others.
