10 Controversial Ways Gamers Are Ruining Gaming

7. Blasting Music Through In-Game Chat

This really doesn't need further elaboration, but oh my goodness, will people ever stop playing their godawful music over their headsets? Whether you're sitting down to cruise around Los Santos or just to play a few games of Slayer on Halo, one thing is universal in its cross-platform nuisance - players who plug their microphone in and proceed to blurt out a constant stream of fuzzy, inaudible, awful music, somehow trying to indicate that their musical tastes simply must be heard by the rest of the lobby in question. They really, really don't.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
