What a shocker!

Why would you spend any money on one, let alone play it?
Because people enjoy playing games with their friends?

You don't have to pay to do that.

Meh. Just mute people. That's what I used to do when I played online. I understand emotions run high and people get frustrated, I'm not gonna let my sensibility and their bouts of idiocy (especially when the solution is so simple!) ruin their experience forever. And honestly, they're probably just actual kids... I'm patient like that but I understand some people take things more to heart and whatnot.

The problem starts with these companies feeling obligated to police what you can say over chat. Just to be clear it's advertisers and payment services that necessitate that. The whole thing about trying to force a "non-toxic community" is a gaslight.

I will never understand why the hell people tilt so hard for an online game. Aren't free time activities supposed to be fun?

Luckily I'm just a lowly fake gamer so I don't gotta worry about clout...
Ooh look, shiny skin!

I've always seen chat filters as a test in creativity. Telling someone they "misclicked when they hit install" or to "Go 0-1 irl" is way better

I played a lot of Halo on Xbox live as a teenage girl in the late 2000's. I sincerely wish they were more stringent about cracking down on assholes. A lot of the rules were in place to attempt to discourage some of the atrocious behavior I was subjected to.

Your friends are randomly-assigned ten-year-olds?

No doubt, but I don't think microsoft spends money on that because they altruistically care about your online safety, I think they do it because they are pressured by monetary reasons.

I appreciate your perspective, thank you for sharing your experience.
One thing I don't understand is why the built in tools for self managing are insufficient, such as mute and block. If willing, I would be open to hearing your experience with that.
I was never on XBL really, but I've been a PC users on counterstrike and league of legends since their inceptions. I can't say if one service is worse than another but I did watch the efforts to stamp down toxicity over time. I don't know how successful these efforts were, it seemed futile at best.
Would you share if you feel the current efforts from services like this are effective in making you feel like it's a safer place for you to game?

Most competent multiplayer games let you form lobbies with your real life friends? Or you can make the occasional friend online?
It's getting real hard to not make assumptions about your social life with all this, man.

'Kys' simply means 'kisses' in Danish. I refuse to read it as any other meaning.

Offline games are mostly chill
But online games, even though people play it for fun but after sometime it gets too frustrating when you don't get the kills
That's why I left playing online shooting games, those made me more angry

Honestly, I’m not a fan of that sort of censorship.
I grew up in the Time Before Internet, and played all of the earliest online games. Trash talk is simply part of the experience as far as I’m concerned. On Team Fortress Classic, you had to abuse a motherfucker through text chat. And we loved it: everyone was enjoying that novel experience.
Back in the day of early COD on Xbox Live, lobbies were wild. Heck, even Uno subjected you to everything from ‘teach me slurs in your language’ to ‘random dude masturbating on camera while smoking a joint’.
I still play the occasional online game, but they’re boring and soulless. Very few people are on comms, as most seem afraid to actually talk. And with good reason; any sort of mildly spicy talk would get you banned on games. So instead of fostering a friendly atmosphere, from my perspective it ended up killing the entire vibe.
Let folks talk trash. Give as good as you get. And if that’s not for you? There’s other games to play.

And thanks for the beginning of an insult, but I do tend to spend more time with friends while we're actually in the same room.

Real
I would still consider myself young but starting to adult (bday today :D). But in middle school and early highschool online FPS were the best. Overwatch, tf2 stuff like that. Now the most multiplayer games are helldivers and recently Deep rock but I also have a ton of single player games like modding Skyrim and occasionally playing Skyrim, dead cells, noita (I do in fact have a skill issue) no man’s sky and blade and sorcery
Now my most competition is among my friends rather than against them. Which is much less tilting

I mean usually that’s true tho

"Gentlemen, you can't kiss in here! This is a war game!"
