9 Ways Video Games Punished Rage-Quitters

4. BarbeQueQ - Team Fortress 2

If Team Fortress 2 isn’t a game you’ve thought about for a while, this clever punishment for rage-quitters and reward for those who watch them quit should remind you why the 2007 shooter is still going strong.

While Team Fortress 2 has featured traditional punishments for leaving matches midway like placing you in low-priority pools, ban times, and losing rank points, depending on what mode you’re playing, the punishment we’re featuring is just delightful. In the same vein as Mortal Kombat’s Quitalities, this is a punishment that gives the player on the receiving end a bonus instead of just torpedoing the rage-quitter.

In this instance, that comes in the form of an achievement called BarbeQueQ.

This achievement can be obtained by first playing as the Pyro and then killing a player five times without letting them kill you, causing them to leave the server. Good for you, bad for them. Wonderful.
