These two, as well as modern players don't use the in-game chat feature. Unless it's a troonycord server, almost no one uses in-game voice functions. The best you'll get is a pajeet or tyron speaking to you through tin cans and threads
This.
They actively disincentivize you from having fun with it. You don't really know what you can say that might get you in trouble. I think people probably go about it knowing there's some enforced boundary and limit themselves without even feeling it out. I know that I would talk more if I wouldn't get banned for doing so. Whole worlds of conversation is outlawed.
I don't necessarily think that's the only thing that causes it, but if you make just a little passing remark or joke in some games, you can be banned. Every time you enter a public server in battle-bit for example, you have to accept terms that say "so sexism, no racism, no talk of politics, yada yada".
I literally got a temporary ban on xbox in the last couple of years for making a comment under a community post for dead rising 4, in which I called someone something like "stupid idiot", like 4 or 5 years prior to then.
I sometimes utilize the chat but I am sure I'd do so more if people didn't get shoahed for daring to allow themselves the freedom to speak.
>Simply being mean gets you banned.
And the best part is that depending on the point of view, literally anything can be understood as you being mean. Not engaging in the chat at all is the safest option but then they'll just find a different reason to ban you.
blizzard bans you based on number of reports. they dont check what is said. i know because i have gotten so many people banned by just mass reporting everyone. the next day i get a message saying the person i reported is banned.
cause online moderation is up by like 10,000% from what it was in 2009. i could call someone's Mom a sweaty silverbacked scallywag gorilla Black person in 2009 and nobody batted an eye. do it in 2024 and that homie will find your Twitter and get you fired from your IRL job.
I remember playing Marble Blast Ultra with a group of people during the very earliest days of Xbox Live on 360 and having a great time, everyone added each other as friends and would send each other friendly messages
Not a single one of those people is online anymore :/
I can't believe I miss the days when I'd say I use the Internet and everyone would call me a basement dwelling virgin. The internet was at its peak when it was associated with nerds, geeks losers, and normalgays didn't want to be near it
This. Even gaming which has become pretty normalized, will still get you considered to be a fat sweaty nerd if it’s all you do all day, but most of the population is on the internet for 60% of their day at least.
warzone 2 at launch for all it's flaws was like going back to 2009 with the default open mic and proximity chat but I think they started heavily moderating voice chat not long ago, third worlders still don't give a shit and will use every slur under the sun unlike americlaps.
Exactly, why should we not be allowed trash talk "people" when they rightfully deserve to be told how shit they are? Kings and nobles used to do it all the time with peasants, are you saying we should regress as a society?
I’ve run into quite a few on PlayStation that have messages disabled from non friends due to that bug from some time ago that could brick your system from malicious messages. Depends on the game but plenty still text message in always online games.
They did on PS4
Xbone didnt because of increased censorship/trigger happy bans.
PC doesnt because Steam requires being on a friendslist to even send a message and it doesnt have recorded messages sadly.
Real talk, how do we get valve to change that?
>say anything remotely similiar to xbox live days >get homosexuals typing in chat something along the lines of: "what the frick duddde... Thats bad!! Im reporting you!!"
Like it matters anyways, most people online that do speak up sound like genuine homosexuals starving for attention.
If not really fun for most people to get shitty message from strangers, you braindead shitheel. Normal people don’t want to listen to your inane homosexualry. If you we’re such a dipshit, and a c**t, and maybe a little more mature, your sub80iq could have reasoned it out for itself. But you’re too fricking stupid. Good thing your masochistic ass comes here, so you can get the abuse you crave, dumbfrick.
Gonna cry, frickface? I though you Black folk craved the abuse they used to dish out online? You going soft on me, pussy?
this guy's literally shaking in his boots at the thought of online banter and calling others pussies
what a dumb brainwashed drone you are
lmao shut up, stupid
also I'm going to bed now so I won't see ur response which means I win by default
Because I really don't care about interacting with random strangers on the internet or forming any sort of connection with them anymore. It's why I post on Ganker and not much else, because it's absolute and total disconnect unless you regular use a trip, and even then I don't so whatever.
Plus, Steam doesn't allow cold calls. I think some people might underestimate how much it's because they stopped being on consoles, because when I was playing stuff like Sea of Thieves on PC, I later found out that I was geting hatemail and such after I accidentally opened the Game Bar and found a bunch in my inbox, and it's cuz that runs through XBL instead.
it was a unique time when the poors and uneducated got internet access
they didn't belong, and while i'd like to say it's good they're gone, today they are social media slop suckers, they are ever-present even if they evolved
Call someone a stinkyhead in 2008 and there's a mutual understanding
Call someone a stinkyhead these days and they'll dox you, try to get your game account closed and get you fired from your job.
>say even the slightest possibly offensive thing >mentally ill homosexuals take away your ability to play for 6000 days
Gee wiz, why does nobody speak anymore???
I never had a problem with Xbox gold. Back in og Xbox 360 days I was paying like $150 a month for internet and is get yearly gold subscription cards for $25-$40. Now I just sub and unsub for gamepass depending on what I'm trying to play that Monty. The deals are harder to come by now. I did the 3 year game pass stack for $1 but it expired
Since matchmaking exists there's no reason to you'll probably never see that dude ever again this also applies to the opposite you can be as much of a wiener sucker as you want since without a community server no one's gonna see your name and go "that fricker again"
I used to play Mortal Kombat 9 on XBL back in the day and that game produced so many haters. I would get VMs of people raging out of their mind. Was funny as frick. No other game I played produced such vitriol.
Say word money stolen.
homosexuals that would rather report than use already existing tools for self-moderation.
Ironically, this led me to smaller communities of 3-10 people, but that's not a proper replacement, but a mere bandaid.
I've messaged and called people Black person over Xbox live chat and haven't been banned or even warned. The only time that happened was when I told some kid to kill himself and I got a week long communications ban.
I'm reformed now so I don't really talk shit to people, but I also don't play vidya really at all anymore compared to a year+ ago
People became neurotic due to terminal online exposure 24/7. Nobody can take a banter, in fact nobody is actually bantering. Everyone is spiteful and say mean things with absolute hate. When you read most of the old XBL hate messages today you know there is a certain level of playfulness in 90% of them. When you read a hate message today you know the other guy wishes they could stab you in your sleep.
The draconian report functions don't help either, the only people who dare to shit on others today are the ones who are using throwaway profiles.
?si=zxr2MhjNkH5DovtG
Notice the blond homosexual PRETENDING to be offended and not knowing how to react, then after seeing the chat replies he felt safe to laugh. Its so sad
That said I fear playing online because I fear the word Discord, I wish I could play online without having some creepy pedo always trying to recruit people to his sect chat
>Play any game online on PS5 >People still say the most foul and racist shit to each other in the lobbies
Maybe it's a PC thing. You guys do have the most transgenders after all.
better varieties of people, and personalities congregate because they have to for their gaming. cs can be like this at times, but its also because theres a huge playercount, and not alot of moderation.
The ps3 and Xbox 360 era can come back bros, just make your own games that allow all the shit talking that can be. Stop relying on these corporate slop machines to deliver what the people want back, because they are now indefinitely committed to producing safe slop for normalgays. It's time for people to start making their own games that aren't AAA sanitized garbage. On the newer cods (mw19 and above), the lobby always disbands after every game to prevent mean words ( in a rated M game btw), this ruining the once fundamental social aspect that cod once had ( rip getting into an argument with the other team in a search lobby after the game is done lol). And on halo infinite, you can't even talk to the opposing team along with that also having disbanding lobbies like cod. Modern game devs and companies care more about protecting people's feelings than making an entertaining product, and this extents to all facets of their current game design and philosophy, not just regarding the sanitization of online gaming interaction.
Don't wanna get shared on the internet
This plus being banned at the drop of a hat
These two, as well as modern players don't use the in-game chat feature. Unless it's a troonycord server, almost no one uses in-game voice functions. The best you'll get is a pajeet or tyron speaking to you through tin cans and threads
Because
>say words
>money stolen
This.

Because gamer words make you lose your account and vidya. Gone are the days of calling everyone gay and homosexuals.
This. So you lose money by talking shit now
Guess piratechads won after all.
Shit, you don't even have to say gamer words. Simply being mean gets you banned.
>Simply being mean gets you banned.
And the best part is that depending on the point of view, literally anything can be understood as you being mean. Not engaging in the chat at all is the safest option but then they'll just find a different reason to ban you.

>YIPPPEEEE
Because they'll steal your money if you say anything that goes against their holy order.
they still do, you just have to keep your PMs public and play a scrub game like Tekken 8, Playing king or alisa will enhance your odds
The last time was when I was trolling in Multiversus beta as Reindog to teamkill and I got two hate messages
Frick talking with other people over vidya. That said, that guy is based.
cause online moderation is up by like 10,000% from what it was in 2009. i could call someone's Mom a sweaty silverbacked scallywag gorilla Black person in 2009 and nobody batted an eye. do it in 2024 and that homie will find your Twitter and get you fired from your IRL job.
I would be promoted, you can't believe how racist my boss is
I remember playing Marble Blast Ultra with a group of people during the very earliest days of Xbox Live on 360 and having a great time, everyone added each other as friends and would send each other friendly messages
Not a single one of those people is online anymore :/
>say no no word
>human rights revoked
I wish the mid-late 2000s internet era came back, it was the sweet spot of unmoderated content and good games
I can't believe I miss the days when I'd say I use the Internet and everyone would call me a basement dwelling virgin. The internet was at its peak when it was associated with nerds, geeks losers, and normalgays didn't want to be near it

>this thread
So, it's a hard life for an butthole huh? These are dark times for an uneducated piece of shit to live in.
Exactly, why should we not be allowed trash talk "people" when they rightfully deserve to be told how shit they are? Kings and nobles used to do it all the time with peasants, are you saying we should regress as a society?
Yea
Start talking shit to each other in ye olden english.
thou art gay
quiet yourself, prancing la-la homosexual man
nah. we just bottle all our rage up now until we snap and air out a Whole Foods. things are probably better this way. tomato tomato, really.
Are you admitting to planning a mass murder?
no, i was being facetious you frickin' dummy.
Why would you do that?
>uneducated
You just can't help yourselves.
I’ve run into quite a few on PlayStation that have messages disabled from non friends due to that bug from some time ago that could brick your system from malicious messages. Depends on the game but plenty still text message in always online games.
>Lose access to ALL games if you get banned
>Even though you paid for the product and shit
>Just for saying gamer words
You know why.
You would meet the most ignorant people in the damn world. I gave up interacting randomly with these people online.
I used to do this back in 2013. So much shit talking
Discord ruined everything.
say gay and get banned and lose all your digital games.
Because you're not worth my time homie
Annoying moderators that over react, I don't want to talk with kids AND even when I decide to enter the voice channel in games is usually dead silent.
Zoomers are too scared irl to even make phonecalls or appointments so that carries over to gaming as well
They did on PS4
Xbone didnt because of increased censorship/trigger happy bans.
PC doesnt because Steam requires being on a friendslist to even send a message and it doesnt have recorded messages sadly.
Real talk, how do we get valve to change that?
Send Gaben a mail pigeon with a message asking for that. Don't forget to feed it laxatives before letting it loose.

You ok bud?
Gonna cry, frickface? I though you Black folk craved the abuse they used to dish out online? You going soft on me, pussy?
I like the cut of your jib.
this guy's literally shaking in his boots at the thought of online banter and calling others pussies
what a dumb brainwashed drone you are
lmao shut up, stupid
also I'm going to bed now so I won't see ur response which means I win by default
because of pic related as others pointed out, normies and israelites ruined everything again
Because I really don't care about interacting with random strangers on the internet or forming any sort of connection with them anymore. It's why I post on Ganker and not much else, because it's absolute and total disconnect unless you regular use a trip, and even then I don't so whatever.

Correct.
People in the 21st century bores me
it was a unique time when the poors and uneducated got internet access
they didn't belong, and while i'd like to say it's good they're gone, today they are social media slop suckers, they are ever-present even if they evolved

Gee wiz, why does nobody speak anymore???
Xbox live is still pretty wild. Jump in one of those party chats
But sadly, it's paywalled
>paying for online
It's a hard pass for anyone that pays for their internet already
I never had a problem with Xbox gold. Back in og Xbox 360 days I was paying like $150 a month for internet and is get yearly gold subscription cards for $25-$40. Now I just sub and unsub for gamepass depending on what I'm trying to play that Monty. The deals are harder to come by now. I did the 3 year game pass stack for $1 but it expired
>Games now
Say gg get banned
>Games then
SCOTLAND IS NOT A REAL COUNTRY
Maybe because it can be interpreted as good goy
>Say gg get banned
that's a good thing. it's the most npc shit to spam so better erradicate it
Who wants to chat with what mostly amounts to either 14 year old mic spammers or troons?
We don't want to be posted about from homosexuals like OP.
newbie detected
People are pussies, specially zoomers. Also the fact the report button exists (due to the first point).
I don't really have any interest interacting with children, nogs, and 3rd worlders on the internet
>why do you come here
good point
I get hatemail all the time, sound like a skill issue (you play sanitized games on a sanitized platform)
Since matchmaking exists there's no reason to you'll probably never see that dude ever again this also applies to the opposite you can be as much of a wiener sucker as you want since without a community server no one's gonna see your name and go "that fricker again"
you can't even say "..." without getting banned in games nowadays
do you really expect people to dm funny shit like this?
I used to play Mortal Kombat 9 on XBL back in the day and that game produced so many haters. I would get VMs of people raging out of their mind. Was funny as frick. No other game I played produced such vitriol.
>cyrax player
No wonder
Sub-Zero and Sonya, Black person. Never touched Cytrash or Kumbal.
Sub-zero being cyrax tier broken? Nah but I'd believe it
Sub-Zero was low tier in MK9. Would get dominated in most situations by a Jax, Cyrax, Kabal or Mileena player.
>calling others gay
>plays metallica of all things
>and poorly
Because Megadeth is simply way too hard the fruitcakes of heavy metal
Boon really fears the Zero
Say word money stolen.
homosexuals that would rather report than use already existing tools for self-moderation.
Ironically, this led me to smaller communities of 3-10 people, but that's not a proper replacement, but a mere bandaid.
most amazing part of this video is the guy not bursting out laughing at the fricked up enter sandman riff
Shitty metallica album too
Before you could say Black person and maybe get a warning. Now you get banned if you call a man a man
I've messaged and called people Black person over Xbox live chat and haven't been banned or even warned. The only time that happened was when I told some kid to kill himself and I got a week long communications ban.

Man this fred is making me remember back in school, whenever someone would rip ass
