A long time player (veteran) of a specific videogame that was disappointed to many times to be optimistic anymore towards any positive changes in the community or the game itself. Salty vets are usually the most passionate and the most ranting players in a gaming community.
You saw that post on reddit yesterday?

Yeah, typical rant from another salty vet. He had a point though.
