Trolls incoming

In regards to the "online game toxicity" discussion: I've personally tried very hard to maintain the ethical standard of, "if you wouldn't say it to someone in person, why would you say it online?" Because unlike in-person, there's no risk of getting your teeth knocked out.

Wot! US$250 - US$400 for a skin/animations/voicelines for a game with craptastic cartoony graphics? I want some of whatever Riot games are smoking!

Thank god i sold my account a year ago yo a collector. Female lead company? No thanks

I'm not shocked at the price i'm shocked that people still play riot games, like in all seriousness how f'ed up you need to be to still play these trash games?

Why ban them? Riot should deactivate the voice and text chat of those people

1:30 I have no idea who "Faker" is. Nevertheless, $450 is the cost of a new console or a used car. 3:35 "they will never return" ... unless the company is going to need a small boost in which case they will come with a tremendous 90% tag that would still be an obscene $45. 10:30 Yeah, that's brutal. The player should be removed permanently from being able to play the game. 17:00 Wasn't this already being discussed earlier. Have a very strong feeling of déjà vu. 🧡💛🧡

gameing is about to crash pepole are fed up with all this stuff it time to let it burn and let indys rain and keep gameing good

Bring back the tribunal from League of Legends and let the community police it. It was great back in the day when it was a thing.

Evey single change Riot does to the social features of there games, always ends up being terrible and makes the game worse off.

Raises an interesting question. We want protections for digital purchases but what happens if we get them? How does banning affect that? Sure the ban may be 100% warranted but if we got the protection we want then you can be sued for the loss of money. Also Faker not using skins but 100% signs off on his skin for a payday is kinda hypocritical

I have absolutely no problem with them charging $500 for a skin. I encourage it. If I made a game with micro transactions, I'd create such skins. The only thing that in any way _could_ make this immoral is if they later _lower_ the price and make them cheap. And if someone feels "Oh, I have to buy this skin to...". Learn to spend your money responsibly. If you really want that skin, good for you; if not: don't pay.

Oh yeah, user tags, Vergil DLC for DMC5 has pretty funny ones

I unsubscribed to every league streamer that bought that skin.

Toxicity kinda makes those games. Imagine these crybabies on Xbox Live for 360 in 2007

I lost track of all the games I never heard from before, saw them on steam and gave them a shot and fell in love with. Games from smaller dev studios might not get pushed to the front page but if they are in a genre I play a lot I might get it recommended none the less. Also just browsing for games is way easier/customisable than other stores.

buying MTX is by far the most stupid thing you can do as a gamer but Paying for Skins that's even dumber i understand paying for DLCs and even some pay to win DLCs in Single Player games still SCAMS but this is just insane paying for skins is literally beyond stupid and this is talking about skins for few $ but skins that cost hundreds of $ i simple can't imagine how stupid and how much Lack of self control you need to have to do something like this

macro translation is considered up to $1.99 atleast that how the game industry were defining MTX in the early days before they realized they can SCAM stupid ppl and make Huge Easy Money

You know, I've never played a single Riot game, but I've seen Arcane. And if they need to get money from skins to get another season, I kinda gon't mind. Of course, it can be a problem in a perspective, but at least it's not a Lilith skin in COD

Hey, have you seen what's happening with the EA App forced switchover for Mac users because it's been an even bigger mess than when it was forced for Windows. Or any of EAs recent disastrous moves within the Sims community? Both could be really interesting topics to see your take on

Saying it will go against Spider man the like, and those games are already meddling when you compare to what they were up against, Baldur's gate 3 amazing story telling, amazing pretty much everything... Hellblade 2 was just never going to work without amazing gameplay and story.

I uninstalled LoL the moment they demanded that I install their kernel level spyware and I'm not going back.

Nothing will change for people who can't post a clip to a large amount of followers on a third party platform.

Every time I see a women cry about toxic players I just feel like do they not know how to turn off chat or voice...? I mean I'm a man and like what? Are we immune to these toxic players...? NO! I can't even count how many times my mother got Faucked by idiots and how manny different way. But give us a solution. Leaving a game and getting punished for it is there for a reason, the system can't figure it out if you left cause you have such a weakling hearth. We can't just turn it off, even with punishment there are players afking and leaving. What can you do with these players? Nothing... You report them and go live your life! If someone is a dcik to you then turn off the communication. It's not like life when even if you walk away they can follow you. Or better play with friends. Or NOT play the game, cause crying without an idea to solve the problem is not gonna help and she is not the first and not the last. I have seen the clip, wow... He really said some mean things. Wow. Such harassment... She is even lucky actually, cause she have proof, she can report him and he gets punished... But we have real rape, with real victims who don't get enough help, until they do I think these girl like her is just a drama queen with click baiting.

they try to milk the playerbase of their only successful game to make up for the losses of their other projects like skull and bones

The Artists don't see any extra revenue from the 450$ skin. It will be already in your computer when you install the update, so it isn't rare. If the game eventually shuts down, you get no return in your "investment", so it isn't even a collectors item. It is a scam. A pretty scam. But a scam nonetheless.

Toxic playerbase is toxic. Riot makes skins comparable to star citizen ships. Water is wet and old men yell at clouds

You were being too leniant towards that "streamer". She unmutted and was trashtalking to the dude to make his say something crazy and get her views. And now Riot will use this oportunity to LITERALLY record your vc. GJ defending insane behaviour like that. First time you are completely wrong on a situation......

$500? I paid that for my Rivendell Lego Set. It’s been 3 weeks and I’m 40% there. For a skin? No!

Ah yes, telling your playerbase they are the problem when you get overwhelmed by corporate greed. The classic winning strategy, this has never backfired on anyone.

Gamer streamer now soo weak and emotional.. get rekt

Remember when Japanese players got banned for saying "run" in Japanese? Yea, it's gonna be very American like that.

Remember they only made a stink because women where affected.

Games with voice chat genuinely need word recognition that auto flags shit like this for review. And before you whine about not wanting your voice recorded, you text chat already is. Don't want it recorded, don't use it.

for $450 I want a statue

why is no agency looking into ubisoft?

Working 30+ hours pf a normal job to buy a video game bundle,i expect a ps5 to be part of it for that price

Neither am I. At least not league.

Looks to me that Ahri will be banned a lot.

Managing expectations is a lot better than just leaning into the hype and then underdelivering.

The items have 0 monetary value.They are transient and are non-transerrable. When the game shuts down, they're all gone. They might have some subjective utility to the buyer but it's worth separating that from the concept of monetary value.

Can't the player decide to kick? Or better yet exclude him from the chat like reverse mute, I know there is no such thing as reverse mute but there could be. AND Riot can pay for it, by .. lets even make it cheaper for Riot if you report a player he's hole voice chat goes to voice to text engine and if there is word's that trickers the reverse mute.. Like in black mirror.. Imagine you can hear ppl but you can't talk to them.. Or even that the talk is made unintelligible, AND YES RIOT should PAY for it! For the server side voip analytics. This is the kind of shi... ppl has to deal with, all anti cheats also could be done server side but nooo that would cost money to RiotGames, they don't actually need these Anticheat software, that is a lie, they just want to save a buck by running it on the client instead of the server.

Faker looks up to Jake Paul, with doing the same victory celebration 🤫

I don't support that guy from the valorant clip, but there is also another clip where she says that she is not muting him for content she could have muted him but she didn't for content and the got buthurt and left the game instead of muting the guy.

Two things about that whole "toxic" language problem. 1. there is a mute function, use it. 2. that content creature specifically chose not to mute them, wanted them to speak, just to make more content and a video about it.

Well, I will put it this way. When it comes to competition, serious competition, part of it is psychological. Part of being mentally tough is to not let other people get under your skin, and there are plenty of people who are good at something but have weaknesses that can render them heavily rattled. This is something people learned quickly in multiplayer games where two people or teams opposing each other can confront one another. I've generally defended "toxic behavior" in a competitive environment because I've felt that if someone can be rattled through racism, or attacks on their sexual orientation or identity, then this is a weakness that should be exploited. It's up to them to overcome it, and develop the thick skin, or mental toughness to resist it. I doubt many of the "online racists" are actually racist, it's not their fault that certain targets are going to have a complex about it. I mean if you look at some of the trash talking around classic boxing matches, there could very well be a racial dynamic around it. Arguably if you need to shield someone from having their feelings hurt for them to be the best competitor they can be, they probably shouldn't be there. That's my opinion however, and to be brutally honest, I've felt that instead of policing this stuff, companies should simply lock out cross-team or cross-competition chat and voice chat and call it a day. That will deal with the problem. They shouldn't basically have the channels open for trash talking, and then put kid gloves on it, it defeats the entire purpose.

Paying 450 with no happy ending....let me think about it

PoE is the best way. Some stash tabs for character power that makes 20-30$ needed money to be spent when you get to late game if you wanna interact with trade etc. otherwise just cosmetics.

For The "F5"!

"Flex culture" isn't really... New? It's something deeply rooted in history. Sea: The fucking Pyramids.
