But Charle, you CAN tip game devs after you finish the game. I have it's called buying merchandise. I personally have a Ralsae plush (deltarune) an owlbear figurine (DnD/BG3) a cult of the lamb one and the several pokemon ones, too. 😅 so I've given them extra dosh
many discords do this too. Have a chatbot that filters out or straight up removes your message if it contains fuck or whatever, but then they also time you out for X hours. It's bafflingly redundant.
Do you not understand how litmus tests work? Furthermore, abusive or anti-social people tend to be impulsive... Let me put it this way, if your argument is valid, then it's also valid to point out that "why swear at someone, or swear at all, in the first place? It's just going to be censored." Really though that's not a good argument, it just shows why such logical arguments aren't reasonable in of themselves when by themselves - but that argument connects to the first part, because a profanity filter that suppresses bannable words, but doesn't remove the player immediately, is actually a great litmus test. It removes the exact people you should want to remove What about the fact that censored content in general is usually still part of an abusive message - Like a message that can be understood as abusive by the person receiving it when connecting the non-obliterated and the partially redacted text together I swear YT dramabaiters just love looking for things to be angry at. Typical twitter behaviour

Just think of all the marketing team, accountants, lawyers, etc., in a Microsoft meeting room. Hell there's probably a lot more weirdos in the meeting room nowadays.
To be fair, the majority of the blame should go on the CEO, they are the one who executes such orders, it's in their name. The actual workers are simply doing their job so they can pay to live.
I find it ironic that people think we should be tipping multi million or even multi billion companies when if anything, that should be directed to indie developers if at all should the concept be followed through. Meanwhile Developers for games like Star Sector ask if you meant to buy 2 copies of their game because it wasn't something that had ever happened to them before, companies like Blizzard would instead ask if you'd like to buy a third if they even acknowledged you to begin with.
I've gotten jumped by a whole unranked lobby cause I zoned out and lost the round. I was told I was worthless and needed to die but none of them got banned. Blizzard is delusional.
Well they didn’t say shit or call you f’n worthless so I guess that’s okay? 🤷♂️ I don’t know. I find the speech police toxic. I seriously doubt anyone will see this comment.
Good they shouldnt be. Free speech mf. If you cant handle it, block/mute em and be done. Toxicity will and should always exist in gaming. Of course there is a point when it goes too far, which is why Muting and Blocking exist.

Overwatch ban system is broken. All that is needed is to have a few players stacking as a team and they can report you for nothing. Good workaround I found is reporting users that say they are going to report you for silly reason. They will get banned for pushing through false reports and you won't.

Easily. I really think Blizzard is in a league of their own with how they seem to try as hard as possible to do the most anti-consumer, corrupt, and ironic decisions. So much so, it borders on parody.
This actually might be Blizzard trying to stay ahead of the curve. The "Kids Online Safety Act" is making it's rounds through the Senate and stuff like this might become the norm for most online games if it goes through.
I got banned for 30 days for saying "group up" and just never played again due the to automated responses from the appeal ticket system. Garbage company.
it takes 3 reports typically to get an automated ban, you probably played with a 2/3 man and they all got salty and reported you or gaslighted the enemy team to do so
This and any chat filter doesn't even address toxicity, people can just be creative and instead of getting banned themselves they can be toxic to other players to bait them into getting banned. In OSRS they implemented a dogshit chat filter that's more annoying than anything, a week later I read about a PKing clan Doxing a player and making fun of their deceased mother in game. No filter is going to stop that.

To quote someone that quoted someone else about blizzard "I have never seen a company that shoots itself in the foot so many times that they needed to reload the fucking gun".
I did make statements before about how bad I felt when buying Hollow Knight at a sale for 15 bucks, and would buy it like 3 times out of respect for the game. However, I don't know if I would want that opportunity to ever be a real possibility due to how it can be abused.
yeah i was thinking the same. with some games there have been times when i wanted to support the team more. what did i do? i bought the extra content already available. i bought the dlc for baldurs gate 3 not because i particularly wanted it, but because i wanted to throw a couple extra bucks at the people who made a game i have 300 hours in. putting in some sort of tip system would decentivize the creation of extra content and most likely only harm developers and creators
You can get banned in dummy watch for t-bagging. It’s just scarier sticky keys, press shift 3+ times and get a spook. Press crouch 3 times over someone as banter, perma ban. Tipping a dev only makes sense for good games/devs. Blizzard is definitely not included in that good category!
I was in my college e sports team and they had a similar policy about swearing. It never made any sense to me, and I was taken aside a few times after swearing in the middle of a match. It was so strange to be a 22 year old talking to a 20 year old about how swearing is a toxic behavior.
I get it if you are shouting profanity at someone else and harassing them, but just saying "Shit!" after you die or a "Dammit, I wasted my ultimate!" should not be bannable.
E-sports games trying desperately to be a “sport” and yet they ignore that alot of athletes and coaches cuss like a sailor on the field. The overcorrection is ridiculous.
This is actually worse than when ubisoft autobanned you for saying negro despite the Spanish operator Mira having an ability called "black mirror" and everyone that spoke Spanish that used the Spanish for it got banned 😂

Funnily enough, TF2 has a much more competent anti-swear system. All it does is let you decide what swears to censor or not. And you can just straight up disable said system and have no filter at all. And yet people manage to be mostly polite in what Blizzard would consider "a speech anarchy".

Happened to me. I didn't even swear. I barely even chat. I say 1 word phrases like "Suck" and "payload." You cannot even appeal it. All they do is copy/paste the same thing which is a blanket statement of "you broke the terms of use and were silenced."
So now no one can chat. Ever.
The irony of Blizzard banning you for swearing when they’ve done so much worse. If they’re doing a speed run on ruining their rep, they’re on record pace.

Do you not understand how litmus tests work? Furthermore, abusive or anti-social people tend to be impulsive... Let me put it this way, if your argument is valid, then it's also valid to point out that "why swear at someone, or swear at all, in the first place? It's just going to be censored." Really though that's not a good argument, it just shows why such logical arguments aren't reasonable in of themselves when by themselves - but that argument connects to the first part, because a profanity filter that suppresses bannable words, but doesn't remove the player immediately, is actually a great litmus test. It removes the exact people you should want to remove
What about the fact that censored content in general is usually still part of an abusive message - Like a message that can be understood as abusive by the person receiving it when connecting the non-obliterated and the partially redacted text together

I find it ironic that people think we should be tipping multi million or even multi billion companies when if anything, that should be directed to indie developers if at all should the concept be followed through. Meanwhile Developers for games like Star Sector ask if you meant to buy 2 copies of their game because it wasn't something that had ever happened to them before, companies like Blizzard would instead ask if you'd like to buy a third if they even acknowledged you to begin with.
Imagine playing an online game where 90% of the words coming out of people's mouths are swears/insults and you get banned for that. What a joke.

yeah i was thinking the same. with some games there have been times when i wanted to support the team more. what did i do? i bought the extra content already available. i bought the dlc for baldurs gate 3 not because i particularly wanted it, but because i wanted to throw a couple extra bucks at the people who made a game i have 300 hours in. putting in some sort of tip system would decentivize the creation of extra content and most likely only harm developers and creators
You can get banned in dummy watch for t-bagging. It’s just scarier sticky keys, press shift 3+ times and get a spook. Press crouch 3 times over someone as banter, perma ban. Tipping a dev only makes sense for good games/devs. Blizzard is definitely not included in that good category!
What is wrong with triple A development studios nowadays man. Its truly like a fever dream but im not waking up anytime soon.
I was in my college e sports team and they had a similar policy about swearing. It never made any sense to me, and I was taken aside a few times after swearing in the middle of a match. It was so strange to be a 22 year old talking to a 20 year old about how swearing is a toxic behavior.
