    I miss when we’d get French players on Xbox Live voice chat and playfully abuse in other in our own languages (I know enough French of that sort).

      Let me put it in terms a normie can understand. You show up to a game of pick up basketball (local league) and one person is wearing high heels (off meta) the second person shows up late, and the third person doesn't know how to block a simple pass. How is that not gonna upset you?

        Let's put it in my terms: you're in a hostile takeover, you snatch us up for some green mail, but you're not expecting some poison pill to be running around the building, am I right?

          I so miss þe playful abuse between strangers in game via voice. Nostalgia for a certain time this world may never feel again, expressed on a platform that is so anti casual-confrontation most won't understand or enjoy that time.

            This is easily the bougiest comment I've read in a while. What world might they live in, where more people play IRL sports than more expensive online games?

              What world do you live in where more people play basketball than online video games?

              Even then, I don't think there's a way someone on my team could be so bad that I even raise my voice at them, much less verbally belittle them. Whenever I have a useless teammate I think "Damn, they must be new. I don't think we're winning this one." And then I do my best and I have fun.

              Did I say raise my voice? That's how you'd react. Not I'm saying when people show up not ready ro play Damn right I'm going to let them know that's inappropriate.

                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.

                It's more that it's exhausting than anything else

                I don't want to play a game where people keep telling slurs or being toxic towards others. It just ruins the whole experience

                    Back when I still played ranked in online games, I always felt like if I didn't have Don't Stop Me Now by Queen playing in the back of my head... I just wasn't in the right mood to play.

                      So, what you won't raise your voice and just calmly ask them to kill themselves? What?

                          It’s the same as parents going full tilt against the ref of a kids league soccer match.

                                i fucking hate the "that's how it is, go do smth else if you don't like it" attitude. can we please acknowledge that online gaming would be overall more fun for everyone if people stopped being toxic towards each other?

                                As long as we can also agree that over bearing forced positivity due to fear of triggering a black box automated ban system is also total ass and fucking ruins games.

                                I don't want to see racism and sexism every single match, but I also don't want the game to censor every single possible thing to the point the community basically becomes lobotomized and unhuman out of God damn fear.

                                League is a great example. It was a toxic cess pit of unholy levels. Now everyone is so fucking fake and scared to anger the AI black box over lord that no one acts like a normal person.

                                Or you end up with half your team muted cause of bullshit fake reasons the AI thinks could offend a made up Karen on a power trip so you can't communicate at all.

                                It's not fun on either extremes.

                                        I’ve had voice chat disabled since forever. I will not listen to the tools I play against. Racist and political trolls along with just general assholery. Not worth it. The only time VoIP is worth it these days is of you’re playing with a known group that polices its chat.

                                          Yes. But fun is relative. When I play rocket league, I like to try my hardest. If I'm not trying hard, it's not as exiting. So it's frustrating when playing ranked and for example your teammate is not even trying . Maybe RL isn't the best example because matches are under 10 minutes, so I can just start another one, but games where you spend an hour, it's just different

                                          No. It's not mature. If you play it like a sport, then being a gentleman is very important for your fun and growth both.
