What Does it Mean to Quit a Game?

Let's look back at that previous example, you could just leave and let them have their win. Or you could quit a game and truly embarrass them. Maybe even make them think about their actions.

So let's look back at how to quit a game. Anyways, that was a great looking back. Let's continue!

How to Rage Quit Any Video Game

As simple as it may seem, quitting a game is not just about pressing a button and leaving. It is a process. The good news is, this process is universal in any multiplayer video game.

Firstly, determine just how angry you are. Free American Gaming offers you the luxury of the RageMeeter to use as the basis of your frustration. According to the scale, one is not frustrated and 10 is being beyond angry. Take a minute and look at the scale and think about where you lie in the RageMeeter.

As previously stated, quitting a video game is a process. This part is essential to making your mark and proving to those annoying trolls (learn about trolls here) that you are the bigger man (or woman). Secondly, you want to tell them that you muted them (you do not have to mute them). Then, you want to pick from one of these options for prequitting:

1. Yell really loud at them while leaving the game. This will assert dominance and prove that you are showing mercy to them.

2. Say one last, insulting thing about them then leave. This is a way to say your piece and prevent them from saying anything back to you.

3. Quietly leave the game. Although not recommended, sometimes you are at a 10 and need to calm down.

Once you have made your point, then proceed to quit the video game.

Competitive Considerations:

We at Free American Gaming understands the competitive nature of video games. Sometimes it's about the grind and you may be in a game mode that enforces early game quitting. This brings up an ethical dilemma. Should you take the temporary ban and leave the game? The answer is simple, if you lie between 6 and 10 in the RageMeeter, then you should absolutely leave the game. Since you are not dedicated to the grind, your mental health should take precedent over your 30 minute ban.

Conclusion

Now you know what to do in case your gaming experience becomes too frustrating for you to bear. Remember to the steps. One, determine where you lie in the RageMeeter. Two, tell them that they are muted. Three, act in accordance to the prequitting list. Finally, leave the game. Remember to say thank you to Free American Gaming for releasing this educational guide.
