I don't know what you guys are talking about, but that guy is a hero. You see, long before 13 year olds had consoles with voice chat, people were playing multiplayer games on computers almost exclusively. Early on, the internet sucked and was really ****ing slow. This gave rise to LAN parties, which were about friends getting together at someones flat with their computers, having fun times, getting drunk, and taking the piss while playing video games. At some point, internet connection speeds began improving, access to broadband was more widespread, and the need to get together to reliably play videogames was less necessary. Enter dedicated servers and/or hosting games straight from the client(MMO's were barely in their infancy). Games generally concluded with things like "good game." It was still about having fun, though you did get some competitive douche bags who treated gaming like measuring penises.
Skip forward a ton of time: Consoles finally evolved to have online multiplayer services that weren't complete garbage. Socially inept 12 year olds embark on a journey through the final frontier, which happens to be a digital wasteland full of nasally boys calling each other fggts repeatedly.
