10 Harshest Ways Video Games Punish You For Rage Quitting

7. Persona 4 Arena Makes Sure Everyone Knows Who The Quitters Are

A surprisingly brilliant fighting game spin-off, Persona 4 Arena thought up a brilliant way to shame players who constantly disconnect from online matches.

Instead of going down the path that most games do, punishing quitters with bans and penalties, Arena instead makes it so other players know what type of fighter they're up against. If you bail on too many matches, eventually your name will turn red, marking you out as a player who has a tendency of not seeing fights out to their finish.

Consequently, when matching with players online, there's a good chance that most good fighters will back out of a fight with someone with a red name before it begins, resulting in the quitters being ostracised by most of the title's core playerbase.
