And seeing as the only people who would be using it would be the people who would be abusing it (as nobody else would WANT to use it thanks to those abusers), why include it at all? Simply to pander to a handful of people whose idea of entertainment is belittling others and behaving like schoolyard bullies? I fail to see how that is in any way, shape, or form a good business model. |
You've clearly never used voice chat. I've had a lot of great conversations with people online. It's also essential for some games, such as any game that could have clans/guilds...you know, any game that requires teamwork. I'm glad more people don't have your attitude towards features, though, because we wouldn't have a lot of the great things we do. Every feature of anything can be abused, but the good outweighs the bad. If friends want to use voice chat, they should be able to. There is absolutely no good reason to ignore that option.
