As a player who never plays shooters and not very often play online at all I am excatly the target audience for this decission  and I can tell you, they are spot on. Voice chat is a huge turn off for me, and even though it would be an option to turn on and off, knowing that I would go into battles deliberatly not enabling voice chats while some of my random team mates would expect to use that as a tool would be a reason not to get the game at all for me.

The reason why I enjoy Splatoon as much as I do is because it levels the field a bit for a player like myself and experienced shooter fanatics. And that is an absolutely essential thing if they want the game to have the kind of crossover appeal that they are hoping for.

You know, I never thought I'd see the day that people would actually argue in favor of having less options but here we are. Thanks for making my decisions for me Nintendo. I hate the idea of having to choose between whether or not to use voice chat. It took too much brain power. Luckily Nanny Nintendo is here to make sure I never have to make any decisions at all. They get to decide everything for me. I can't wait for Splatoon 2 where Nintendo actually disables the game after 8 PM because it's bedtime.

It's mainly been the classic "It's Nintendo and they work the hardest out of all companies. They are the only ones who work for the fans which is why they removed voice chat/locked content in on-disc dlc/have many wii u droughts/lost 3rd party support" argument. It's as if admitting Nintendo made a mistake would be the end of the world.
