I miss the days of private servers and people generally not giving a fuck.
It's all so pointless (yes, I know they have their nefarious reasons) too! There's a fucking mute button. Someone being a jackass to you, and you don't feel like dealing with it? There's an easy solution. Devs should only be going after things like cheaters, griefers , repeat teamkillers (if applicable in that game), etc. People that are intentionally ruining the game experience for others, and for which there isn't a one-button solution.
Sometimes it's also a response by companies to try to adhere to regionally selective laws that try to shove hate speech laws down every company's throat and assume culpability. Usually the EU as a whole or specific EU countries.
However I do believe that all the online harassment propaganda being shoved in our faces over this is just a smokescreen for the larger glowie op going on in the background where they're trying to harvest data on gamers in a desperate search for white supremacists and incels.
They're definitely doing that on internal government systems, so it would stand to reason that if they can get their tendrils into other systems they'd do the same there as well.
What a bunch of faggots.
