Man, a while back some friends and I saw a game on steam that was multiplayer and sounded cool. We all got it, and joined a completely empty lobby so we could figure out what we were doing. Someone joined that lobby and began losing his mind that the one friend of mine on his team wasn't playing optimally. He was a huge dick about it and did nothing to help anyone learn the game. We talked mad shit on him, until he dropped the gem "What did you just see a game on steam, think it looked cool and start playing it?" Like, yeah dude. That's exactly what we did. Are we not supposed to support games you like?

I must admit, I bet games with private player run servers would be more excited to introduce fresh blood to their beloved games. Might have to try that next time.

Let me know if anyone has private server game recs in the vein of the post
