it turned from a bunch of 12-18 year olds screaming “I fucked your mom last night” to a bunch of mid-late 20-30s saying “you stupid n*****” every other sentence…
I have turned off game chat in every game since modern warfare 2019
I miss the 360 era myself, but as someone who enjoys playing competitively in every game, it’s hard to play unless you have a bunch of like minded individuals with you… and I even find that challenging some days
Those 20-30 year olds were probably those same 12-18 year olds lol

Wow classic was a PERFECT experience for me. Everyone was nice, mild RP on a non RP (but very PvP) server, orderly queues, met some awesome friends, jokes from the mid-2000s. 10/10

so, how many hundred trillion times in a row does some have to say the n-word to get a strike? I’m betting it’s pretty high…
if MS were serious about making its online spaces safe for anyone but the most toxic, vitriolic bigots, they would have kicked them all off decades ago. but they won’t, not ever, because they value their money far more than they dislike what they have to say or the negative attention it attracts.
