San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

What even is "the gaming community" anymore? Basically everyone except boomers play games.

What is a community? Recommended reading: Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson.

…There's probably an ecological definition for "community" that you could try to transfer over… I think in cases where a large group of individuals don't actually interact with all of each other either directly or indirectly, but are nonetheless relevant as a grouping because they share a particularly contextually prominent set of traits (E.G. "Plays Video Games"), then "population" might be a more appropriate term (if a bit sterile).

I think it is more than just people who plays games. It's more people who play games and participate in community, which is a smaller percentage, though still probably quite big
