There's always a catastrophe somewhere. People being upset at a game doesn't mean their perspective is off.

If one lived in a hurricane area or whatnot, I can see being more angry in response to this because there is no one to direct that other anger at. The hurricane doesn't care. This is a viable direction that one can use to vent and know someone hears it. Even if sone of it is misdirected and over the top, the anger is not so shocking.
