Bigger devs are already not adding text chat because of some retarded eurofag laws. Seriously online gaming has regressed to the point of ridiculousness compared to a decade ago - matchmaking or worse online systems replacing server browsers, shit in game voip with no text chat at all, etc.
You can blame the no text chat on some stupid ADA compliance law that passed towards the end of the Obama presidency. Basically makes it so that if you want people to be able to type to each other, it opens a whole goddamn can of worms about supporting people who can't type.
Like a lot of laws, instead of making it so that people who can't type get some sort of support making it easier to communicate ... it makes it so that nobody gets text chat at all.
I stayed out of that most of the time because I was well, shit, and why be the ass-end of everyone's talk? I also had no interest in whatever nigger music that tended to require constant muting.
Still, there was so much more wit in chat in those days. Now it's just like one word insults and responses of "omg reported you're toxic"
the use of things like ACT in FFXIV are more a "you can't use it but we can't know you are using it so just don't talk about it or use it against someone" thing so if you complain about someones low DPS you are probably using ACT that is against the rules therefore ban
as for chat I dunno my 1.0 characters ended up on the JP servers for some reason so when i did play it was on the JP servers, different regions will have different moderation teams and the american moderation team is probably all jannies because who else wants to moderate game chat
Ah yeah, just what we need in online gaming: more reasons to be quiet. God, I miss the good ol' days.

They've pushed all the communications off to discord, which is already known to be tapped by the feds and spying for wrongthink.

Battle bit seems fun but the constantly recorded voip pushed me off. I'm not playing a game shooting people but I can't say nigger lol
With as many people "streaming" I would assume I'm always recorded.
Tbf, there are definitely alot of pedos skulking about in the gaming space.

Funny isn't it?
Another example is FFXIV.
You can run ACT, Dalamud Plugins and MMOMinion bots all at the same time because of game's non-existent anti-cheat.
Don't get me even started on the rabbit hole that is Mare Synchronus.
But say something less than liberal on public chat or report someone's low DPS. Instant ban.
