It’s gradual for exactly my main point originally, how is it going to be enforced? Do we want our orwellian city state game dev overlords directing our behaviours or do we want them treating us like human beings? You might think “I’m not going to be affected by that so why should I care” and that’s the same stance…

I actually took out a line from that quoted comment along the lines of “and if you respond by saying you merely said that you didn’t say the main slur thing in order to deflect would be really shite” before I posted it, funnily enough. Should have left it, but like I said, it’s irrelevant and my original question was…

You’re not describing a zero-tolerance policy, to the best of my understanding. In zero-tolerance, the same consequence gets doled out whether an infraction is mild or severe. This is all the same sort of stuff, a communicated attack of sorts. So telling someone to fock off == telling someone that they are a tranny…

Siege is still really friendly. At least, on the west Europe servers it is. I’ve played a fair bit on every other server and the second nicest was west coast America. East coast America was by far the worst, followed shortly by one of the Chinese servers (for some strange reason, might have just been a bad month for…

So what you want is for game makes/developers to roll out permanent bans for everyone that ever sets foot out of line, thus kerbing their own revenue? In this current micro-transaction age, you want developers to turn off their own income?

If someone smurfs to get around ban then rinse and repeat until they either stop with harassment/toxicity or they go about they’re business elsewhere.

“You’re such a gay”

The ethical problems here are just far too strong, though. It’s already caused outrage a few times when Alexa (or whichever it was) was found to have been listening in on conversations so as to bring better advertisements to the users. It’s invasive. The potential to invade with speech recognition and recording is too…

Yeah, hence my mention of Overwatching people. The problem with fully manual policing is the workforce required for it. You say it could take a few months to get to your personal case, but if you play, for instance, DotA2, they have like a million unique daily players. Let’s just throw some magic numbers around here…

You literally just put those words together in a sentence that wasn’t you outright telling a “fucking tranny bitch” to die. And now so have I. Because you know, it’s not like I could easily just go “oh yeah, definitely, it’s my favourite past time; saying ‘die you fucking tranny bitch’, grow up”. At which point I’m…

How would it ever be enforced, though? And saying it can be automated is a terrible idea unless it’s parsed for context/irony/sarcasm some magical way. People reporting others only works if those reports are also moderated, hence things like Overwatch in CS:GO. You can easily get some nigh-socially-omnipotent streamer…

I don’t know why this is a guilty pleasure. I mean, I DO, as you’ve just told me; but I don’t think it’s anything to be guilty over. The game was legitimately really fun and scratched my DMC itch for a good while. Not to mention the fact that it’s insane really made the game stand out in a long line of relatively tame…

This looks so amazingly fun! AH! Gods it feels good to get CoD looking immediately brilliant looking again!

Two of my close mates swear by the games(main entry), and yet I’ve never played any of them (bar a small bit of 3) because I bummed Digital Devil Saga on PS2 instead. Both of them call this character shite, and I don’t know why. Anyone mind telling me why they might think this way(I’d ask them but starting a…

That is legitimately the coolest thing I’ve seen all year. It makes me feel brilliant. Well played, Microsoft.

A fair few people in this comment section just calling out edge as if everyone that acts a way they think is edgy is acting it because they also think it’s edgy. Funny how people forget others have differing outlooks. XD

Jason: This all raises the question: Why do you make video games?

The Witcher 3. I absolutely adore the game and have done basically everything from the mainline game, except for finish it. Every time I sit back down to finally finish it and actually play the DLC I bought on their release, something crops up. Then it’s too late, and friends want to play something or I get back in…

All Ghillied Up.

Why is that woman in the back heiling a cab?
