  1. Shame they can’t manage to do this for their staff!

  2. > Rape jokes, racism, bullying – if you’ve picked up a controller, or scrolled a mouse, to dabble in some online gaming then you’ve likely come across plenty.

    The worst part of this is all the people that will inevitably show up in the comments to defend this behaviour.

  3. Valve came up with the solution to this years ago and never implemented it.

    You should be able to rank people you play with as friendly or unfriendly. Friendly people get free (or discounted) games and in game items, unfriendly people pay more.

  4. Police “Hello,this is the police,we’ve come to have a word about your gaming behaviour”

    Gamer “Wtf I do”

    Police ” Extreme Teabagging,4 occasion’s of Yo mama jokes,and 12 gay slurs”

    Gamer “Deeze nuts”

    Police “……….”

  5. Wait, people are deliberately going online and starting voice conversations with complete strangers, and expecting the police to intervene if those strangers say something they don’t like?

    Surely if you decide to chat to strangers, one of them is occasionally going to say something you don’t like. Provided you can block them, and they can’t identify you IRL, isn’t that enough? If that isn’t enough, maybe don’t do it in the first place?

  6. I thought I was on another subreddit. Don’t usually see gaming news here.

    Police should really prioritise better in my view but that is not to defend said behaviour.
