Piracy

Piracy may be illegal but that doesn't stop people from doing it anyways. There are torrent sites that are easily accessible over the internet to download the files that your want. Websites such as lime wire, frost wire, and the pirate bay are just a few that let you download files that people uploaded themselves. Accessibility is major factor for pirating. If a person believes that a certain something is far to expensive for them achieve then that individual may end up pirating it from one of the may sources online. Even if piracy is a big issue, its not going to be easy to get rid of. Back when the pirate bay was taken offline, a new site was brought up not soon long after, making it a know idea that new sites can just pop up and give users access to free downloads.

Toxic Gaming Toxicity in gaming has been a huge problem for gamers everywhere. If you play any competitive game you will most likely encounter some gamers who takes things to far. For instance getting ridiculed for not giving a good performance in a competitive match or not following the commands of other teammates can get you a nasty message sent to your inbox or getting called nasty names if the game supports voice chat.

In the article we read in class "Can a video game company tame toxic behavior?" it uses the game league of legends as an example of the toxic environment in video games.
