I mean that it's pretty sad that we went from cheating being basically the worst thing you could do in a game to.... no one caring about cheating, griefing your teammates, being toxic or being disruptive, instead we only care about things like hate speech or profanity. It's not like people don't bully, harass and demean others with "acceptable" words and "acceptable" in-game actions....
- mort96 3y agoDoes nobody care about cheating or griefing or toxicity anymore? That doesn't match my experience. I don't understand why you bring up profanity. I don't understand what you think is dystopian, or why you think it would stop being dystopian if hate speech was treated slightly less seriously than cheating.
- Pannoniae 3y agoIt is dystopian because the frog (all of us) is being slowly boiled. We've come to a stage where you start to own nothing anymore, only licence or rent it, your access/licence can be revoked for any reason if you breach their EULA (which they can change at any time) and your rights are shrinking. Locking people out from their games which they've purchased (even from singleplayer!) for what they said on chat is just pathetic and dystopian. I wouldn't put it past them that the next step would be brain sensors to detect "harmful" thoughts and ban you before you say them.
