I really disagree, a good game doesn't make a good community. The only thing a game can make is a difficulty entrance border to weed out some low brain derps of the worst kind. But people don't change and they can enter any kind of game, the more mainstream they are the more bad apples you will find due to them finding a plattform of attention. Many games create their own microcommunities, and amongst smaller populated games the amount of bad apples is often too small to create an own ocmmunity. This causes them to often be out in an outsider role and leaving the game. But in bigger games where these people ceate an own community things can pile up and get really bad. And once these bad community parts get organised the games devs and staff get huge trouble.

Well...yes.
That and other things where the main information of those two vids.
Good game concepts keep the rot in check and bad game concepts tend to accumulate the rot and allow them to fester and grow till the majority of the games population is spoiled.

--> the game makes its own community by accumulating or repulsing the right or the wrong people.

I mostly agree with the videos

they are not talking about those few mentally deranged people that you find
