Activision has taken action against more than 2 million accounts so far for "disruptive" voice chat.

If EA banned all the toxic players there would be no one left.

No more little 12 year olds telling me to go f my mother? End of an era, I say. What an era it was, too.

Why even bother playing anymore?

This but unironically. These games have been bad for a decade. The online trash talk was the best part about them

This is going to spark a whole new generation of trash talk entirely unrecognizable to the average non gamer…

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.

What a save!

Honestly that makes me way more interested in playing

Comically, I am less interested. And I’m not a trash talker, I never even use voip.

The toxicity was part of the product. You are literally competing to KILL each other, you should be able to say rude things while you do it.

Simulated murder is worse than digital raging.

Obviously real world threats, doxxing, etc is very different.

Idk, raging is kinda funny. Raging about snipers is funny, raging about anything in-game is funny and acceptable. But often it’s just people trying to trigger you and just yelling the n-word and telling you to kill yourself and shit like that is just not something i care about. I’m not offended, it’s just that i don’t want to spend time with people like that.

I’ve played toxic shooters my whole life. There’s “clutch or kick” which is fine, but then there’s prepubescent jackasses yelling the N-Word which is just cringe toxicity

The whole game is cringe, you’re a Dwight shrute dream running around johnwicking everyone. It’s like walking into a portopotty and complaining it smells like shit

That said, there’s never a good reason to use the n word

What about if you’re making a period piece about slavery?

Yeah, angry trash talking is half the fun of those kinds of games.

Yeah, it’s the fun of it

Last night someone called me dumb, i said no you and he went off calling me a fag and such. Most fun I’ve had in months

That legitimately sounds really fun. And it’s exactly what made it fun in the mid 00s

“this portopotty smells like shit, lemme shoot a guy but nobody be rude during the experience!”
