Whats the point of having in game chat?

If there is no freedom of speech?

Don’t be a dick

Upset you can't call people niggers all the time?

It is your journey to discover the answer. It is a crucial part of growing up.

OP here, Im not racist. I did swear I wont lie but it's because people weren't doing objectives and were pretty much soloing. The fact remains I have to teach people every game so how is it fair that I get silenced? If you play 100 games and 800 of those are you training people how to play surely there's a breaking point of getting angry
?

>Censorship is growing up?
Surely debating the issue is more adult

Nice, but that doesn’t work on me nigger

What's the point of accepting a terms of service agreement and then complaining when you're penalised for breaking it?

btfo

meant to say 1000* games

>sperg out
>get banned
>sperg out

kill yourself friend

If you play that much and dont have fun you might need to re-evaluate why you are playing that game. There is no possible way the remaining 20% games make up for it.

so normal people can have conversations about normal things you sperg douche hurricane.

...

>tfw the EULA kicks in.

I do have fun but when games are played properly, majority of the time I have to tell people what to do or take lead because people are all over the place

If you're not going to read what I said dont comment please. I clearly stated after somany games it gets frustrating, clearly by your logic staying silent like a cuckold is the way forward

...

>staying silent like a cuckold is the way forward
Not him but that is exactly the response the owners of the game expect from you. You can be angry about their choice but they control that game, not you.

and this is why I have 8 accounts because if I get pissed on one I leave to the next one ebfore it gets banned and rotate to the next one, keep rotating when pussies say "reported", stops youraccounts from getting banned

That's what you get for playing games like Overwatch that don't have dedicated servers

>exactly what the jews want

Because play nice.

There is freedom of speech, the government is not preventing you from saying anything.
Freedom of speech doesn't protect you from the consequences of your speech.

>playing a jew game
You are still at fault.

What's the point of any chat if you are limited to auditory and visual communication?

Shut up cuck

>RULES: please be nice and don't call other people slurs
>"heehee i will break the rules NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER"
>YOU HAVE BROKEN THE RULES
>HERE IS YOUR PUNISHMENT
>"WTF I HATE VIDEO GAMES NOW BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
Wish they would've closed your account completely senpai.

I miss old internet times. When people weren't pussies and could take a few insults. Old DotA was a lot of fun

Hi Cody

>gets mad because he doesn't know what words mean

>advocating for freedom of speech makes you a nazi sperg from Sup Forums
I hate Sup Forums simply for turning this into right-wing rhetoric. fuck this gay earth somebody turn back time

Fellow silenced here op
Out of all mobas, hots has the most pussy fanbase
You can get reported and silenced for saying shit like 'go to the objective'
Just thank god you dont play on the Brazil server, its 100% worse with about 2 trolls in every match

If Freedom of Speech doesn't protect you from the consequences of free speech then can you tell me what NOT having freedom of speech is like?

>equating "freedom of speech" with "i'm allowed to say anything i want at all times with no repercussions for my actions and if anyone tells me to shut up i'm being oppressed and that makes me even more justified in calling them niggers"
shit your pants, dude.

everytime he posts the word "censorship" I gain a little more joy in my heart knowing there is someone more retarded than me

OPP here, yea I've noticed this, Ive gotten angry in lots of games wow, starcraft but hots seems to be the most molly-cuddled and stupid that I've seen, just for pinging people say "dont flame", thats before ive even used words, so i mean I know im not the one in the wrong here

It means the government can't punish you for your speech.
If you get banned that's not the government repressing you, it's a company punishing you for breaking the rules that you agreed to adhere to in order to use their service.

>if anyone tells me to shut up
being told to shut up is not the same as being forced to.
freedom of speech means I equally have the ability to call out a nazi for being a shitfaced nazi

>year of our lord 2017
>alt-right mouthbreathers still think "MUH FREEDUM OF SPEECH" means freedom from being held accountable for their actions

Do you not know how rules work? Sure, you have the freedom of speech to say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean they will go without consequences.

How are your rights being attacked for breaking the rules of a private corporate server?
Where's the injustice that you need protection from?

You're not wrong, but you didn't exactly answer my question.

What is the benefit in banning people for words they type in a video game or say over voice chat? I just don't see how it makes sense from a business perspective.

It does protect you from the consequences of speech. From the government. If you say your favorite color is orange and the government prevents you from voting because of your degenerate opinion, that's a violation of freedom of speech. If you come into my house, say your favorite color is orange, and I tell you to fuck off because I don't like subhuman orange-cucks in my house, that is not a violation of freedom of speech. You have a right to say it, I have a right to not tolerate it.

All blizzard games are like that becuase they're made for casuals

It makes sense from a business perspective because the spergs who think it's hilarious to break the rules for fun are outnumbered by the people who actually want to play the game.
Less spergs means a better environment for everyone else, which means more people playing.

>toxic person endlessly shits up chat in every single game
>other players get fed up and leave
>business can either ban one toxic person or leave them alone and risk letting that toxic person cause other people to decide "the shit community isn't worth the mediocre game, I'm leaving"
Think it through a little.

because the people who run these servers have feelings and emotions and don't hang out on fringe cambodian rice cultivating forums where they're exposed to these kinds of liberties

sounds like someone needs to teach you how to play
screaming at your team and calling them noobs and cucks wont make them play better, it just makes them likely to intentionally throw the game or go afk
when you're typing, you're not playing the game, if your team responds to your screeching, it means they're typing instead of playing
basically stop being a huge faggot, shut up and play the game if you want to win, all the silence does is make you more likely to win

>Sup Forums
>liberties

I suppose video games have changed. I miss where you can just host a private server for a video game and enforce the rules you want. Maybe I'm just an old man.

???

I don't think it's a normal thing to be outside in public and start yelling "you guys are all fucking nigger faggots!" to everybody you see

No one's saying you can't have private servers, just that it's retarded to expect to get away with shit behavior in servers with rules that you already agreed to by joining.

Then go make a private server with your own rules you fucking retard. These are the games servers. Not yours. If you're going to be assblasted because you don't know how to follow rules, stay off of THEIR servers.

You agreed to their terms of service, there's no freedom of speech. You're playing on some company's servers not talking in a public place. I hope this is a troll because damn, I swear people pick up on a handful of words and go running with it like they just got unplugged from the matrix.

>muh freedom of speech
>in an environment where you agree to the game dev/publisher terms of service (which include moderated interaction etc)

lel

>we must respect the full sovereignty of private companies under all circumstances
I thought this was Sup Forums?

What's fun about throwing insults at a bunch of nobodies you can't even see? Isn't it playing the game fun?
>but the bantz!
Banter it's born from a sense of community, a back and forth with wit if you want, what's witty about talking like a retard?

>more words i don't understand

What gets me about you guys is the fact you are so eager to defend Triple A corporate shit like this.

>wahhh if you're going to act toxic stay off the game
>don't be mean in game pls

that's why i like Heroes of the Storm. people can't even message me unless they're on my friends list.
type during the game and you're just throwing the game by typing.

so many ragers play these games, most of the time it's people on your team who message you after the game to bad mouth you.

>go into restaurant
>start shouting nigger faggot kill yourself at other patrons
>expect restaurant to let you stay and order food

I didn't say that. I'm saying if you don't like the terms don't play the game.

That's a yes

Just play Dota OP, I'd probably lose my job and most of my contacts if what I said in game ever became public, and I've only been muted for 24 hrs once in 3k hours.

What actually are you upset about

The problem is the people from those old internet times are now at least in their 30s if not older. They probably still lurk around but aren't as active as they used to be. You realize there are probably actual 15 year old teenage boys in this thread now who are unironically defending big company's games saying stuff like

>please don't be toxic in these games
>your behavior is problematic

Its only natural that the next generation is going to rebel against the generation before it.

What is there to defend?
Don't like a game's rules, don't play it and play something else, we're in a free market, there's lots of options.

>then can you tell me what NOT having freedom of speech is like?
Sure. You say something on facebook that gets you arrested.
Countries with freedom of speech laws apply to the government or (government run companies) to stop them doing that to their citizens like you.

>comparing being there in person to playing a video game

Come on now.

>i can't be a piece of shit in game
>must be the kids' fault
kek

Wow, starcraft, diablo
You can talk as you please in all of those games and get no punishment
Hell you should have seen the chats when trump won
Its not blizzard games, its mobas
They attract children and numales

Nah, people just grow up.
Screaming obscenities at strangers is fun when you're 12, but when you're older you barely have time to play and it's more fun to just play the game.

...

What's wrong with telling someone their playing like trash over team coms. I'm not saying being racist or anything, I'm saying what's so bad about saying.

"Stop feeding the other team you inbreed troglodyte"

I don't see why games have to be such "safe spaces" now

spoken like a true faget, none of what you said makes sense

>back in the day playing quake or aoe on gaming zone
>talk trash calling opponent a faggot or assclown
>literally nothing
>now tell opponent you suck or spam a car honk
>get silenced/banned
Kids and faggot older millennials who only picked up gaming within the last 5-10 years are the problem

Blizzard should have just banned your borderline psychotic ass permanently on the first offense.

I don't get it either, but that's beside the point.
Those are the rules you agree to when you play.

What would happen if an online game was more lax with this like back then? Could a dev get away with this?

I really wish I could see what the the types of people look like that encourage compliance to PG language and behaviors in fucking video games of all places. I can't imagine they are older then 21.

How does a guy calling you a braindead nigger in game not crack you the fuck up laughing? Why would you want to ban that? That is pure comedy having somebody sperg out on you over voice.

What is the point of having a chat feature in a video game if you can't use it to talk shit? I remember I was 16 when Xbox live first came out, first thing we did was got into Tetris Worlds and called everybody niggers. Nobody was offended back then, people just bantered back and talked shit. That was fun, I feel like you would never get that these days. People would try and justify it as "growing up" but that's not it, I'm 33 and I love it when dev's don't ban anybody for what they have to say.

good think i dont use my real name when signing up to this shit

If it was some no-name game nobody gave a fuck about it would be fine. If it was a game that picked up huge amounts of popularity then SJW's would complain about it till they have their way and all language is policed in game. Everything from "nigger" to "please get on the objective"

there would be a big vocal minority shouting about safe space and toxic behavior. If the dev ignored them then they'd probably lose only a small number of sales but the press behind it would probably gain more sales than lost

Dude I used to play runescape, that game did not even let you say 'damn' when I played it. I knew people who got muted for dodging the filters and jagex never once made an SNS post or a vid about toxicity, they just banned you and that was that. I fucking hated it but those were their rules and I wouldn't dare risk losing thousands of hours because I want to call some dude an asshole.

im 36 and actually go out of my way to try and make these cunts commit suicide because they are so fucking pussy

>"Stop feeding the other team you inbreed troglodyte"
do you seriously think this is going to make them play better
>woah this guy is calling me a retard better pick up my act so we can win, lets go team!

Mate, being the face of an enemy right after you raped them in a teamfight was the best. Now you cant even say "ggwp" to enemy team in some games.
Fuck, even saying that someone is bad, can be bannable offense now.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, but for myself, personally, I gave up on playing with random players online years ago. I'll play Titanfall 2 but that's absolutely it; anything else that requires more teamwork than that is practically unplayable for me.

>all you have to do is not be a dick
>you fucked up
you had one job op

Those are the terms but I feel like they have always been there unenforced for the past 10 years. Why is everyone so up in arms now? Everyone I mean Blizz and Epic becuase they're the only ones who seem to care about "toxic chat"

Hell you can't even swear on the blizzard forums, and paragon censors in game chat

>not to be a dick
Oh you poor deluded child.

Probably because gaming as a whole is more widespread now, it's not only basement dwellers anymore, can't risk losing revenue to keep some autists happy.

So if I was a dev I could just ignore this shit and be fine? Why don't more people do this?

At least you fucking hated it. It is their game, they can do what they want. At lease they weren't faggy about their bans and didn't try and appeal to complainers. That was just their rules. I get you not wanted to risk hours of work.

You're doing God's work imo. If a bit of voice banter from an online video game is enough to ruin somebody's day then you're doing them a favor by exposing them to 1/1000000th of what they would get in the real world.

You realize not everyone has the same sense of humor right?
Yes some of those people are pussies, that play the game just like you or worse, or better who the fuck cares?
Why can't you fucking understand the meaning of a following the fucking rules
Some of us are there to play the game, and people throwing insults distracts more than not creates problems and distracts from the game
wanna call people braindead faggot nigger just go on a streaming server and amuse yourself, stop being so fucking selfish.

post your chat log
it's always hilarious to see these people going "i dindu nuffin" when in reality they're huge autists who got banned for perfectly good reasons

Sup Forums isn't the rest of the world.

companies try to please everybody to squeeze all the dosh out of consumers that they can

>You're doing God's work imo. If a bit of voice banter from an online video game is enough to ruin somebody's day then you're doing them a favor by exposing them to 1/1000000th of what they would get in the real world.

This. Natural selection is a beautiful thing, im sick of all the fucking pussys I come across on steam too and on overwatch, i literally couldnt believe what I was hearing sometimes, why do these kids talk in a like a gay tone? is this the gender neutral shit ive been hearing about?
