Amazon envisions pairing toxic gamers with other toxic gamers in a new patent filing
Amazon's got a brilliant idea for policing toxic gamers: Pair them with other toxic gamers, separate from the rest of a game's player base.

The long and short of it is summed thusly: "One mechanism for dealing with such players is to isolate all 'toxic' players into a separate player pool such that one toxic player is paired only with other toxic players."
But what is toxic behavior? Swearing? Rage quitting? Trolling? Religiosity?
Have no worries fair gamers... there is a solution to that as well. People with similarly distinct behaviors will be paired with each other, so now hypothetically you can have a game where everyone is a known rage quitter and thus when one player ragequits, it'll likely cause a cascade of gamer forfeitures!
Glorious.
Just remember, iron sharpens iron.
The patent is here for your reading disenjoyment.
