>check TOS of any given game
>half of it is just repeated iterations of "You will not say NIGGER, you will not name your characters, pets, house, crafted items or guild NIGGER"
How did we get to this point as gamers?

frognigger

I don't remember when I started calling everything in my games NIGGER but I just did and kept doing it ever since
That being said I don't play grind you life away always online slop

Saw ESO was free on PS+ and thought I might dick around on it for a while. 4 fucking terms and conditions screens (all of which I read, you never know when they're gonna start slipping in agreements to sell your organs to the Chinese) and the last one said "we can look at your browser history". What a bunch of absolute garbage people. I quit out. Remember when you used to just be able to play games?

On one side you have people who think saying "NIGGER" is the peak of all comedy and civil disobediance.
On the other hand you have people who couldn't take a joke if their life depended on it.
Both groups need to be culled.

But the former are correct because the latter control everything.

All TOS basically boil down to "if our product harms you, it's not our fault lol also we're not obliged to actually ensure our product works properly lmao"

>>717822594
>But the former are correct
No, saying "NIGGER" is not the peak of comedy. It's an even lower form of comedy than pop culture references. In fact, if you think saying "NIGGER" is peak comedy I can safely say that you can't take a joke either.

>>717822731
I don't think that's what he implied

>>717822768
Shouldn't write like a nigger, then

>>717822731
NIGGER

>>717822115 (OP)
I could be wrong but I think 3 decades of gamers screaming nigger into the headset is what caused it
Too right if you ask me

>On the other hand you have people who couldn't take a joke if their life depended on it.
When did spamming slurs become "just a joke bro, it's just a prank bro" and when did such shit forms of comedy become acceptable? You brain dead niggers shit on every other form of low effort comedy but somehow this is acceptable? Spoken like a true hypocritical faggot.

>>717824441
Great reading comprehension, faggot

>>717822115 (OP)
I always accept the TOS without reading it, I have my fingers crossed

The more you tell anybody they can't do something (especially something harmless in most contexts) the more they will want to do it.
My conclusion is major videogame companies want gamers to say Nigger.

>>717822115 (OP)
Racism is actually bad. That's it, that's the big revelation. You have learned something new today.

Niggers are fragile. If you call them nigger they will chimp out and curbstomp them, so that’s why they banned the nigger word. Because it exposed them

Matchmaking ultimately caused it. If you routinely toss unrelated retards together, then eventually everyone views everyone else as hostile and starts coming up with ways to punish non-compliance. Providing rules and guidelines funnels those punishments and made-up rules into something approaching an almost logical (but still fanatical, everyone still hates everyone) framework, rather than an unbounded cesspool where everyone has somehow slept with your mother
Ultimately matchmaking is still completely untenable and you need a dedicated server browser, but it will at least tide the game over until the company has extracted profit.

Even if this isn't true, this is clearly what whoever in charge wants you to think about them. The truth is likely in the middle somewhere. Obviously lots of people have been conditioned to act this way though

They must be living in your head rent free if all you can say is the n-word.

@Grok how many words in the english language are there?

> There is no exact count, but estimates suggest there are between 470,000 and over 1 million words in the English language, depending on how you define and count them.

It's wild how that Xbox Live-era "every 12-year-old is a shock comedian" vibe ended up shaping TOS hell today. Like devs went from "we'll just ban the worst ones" to "we must create a dystopian EULA labyrinth to crush the sin out of everyone equally." And now the pendulum's fully swung-mics off by default, chat filters on by law, your console's probably snitching on you to Microsoft in real time. All because little Timmy heard the forbidden word in Halo 3 and told Kotaku.

TOS Says nothing about naming my character like a hobbit.

they cant stop you because they hold 0 power over you. become stoic and machiavellian until they begin to fear you

>>717823404
Screaming nigger is based tho because they are even more wacist

A well-timed NIGGER can make you laugh so hard you shit your pants.

>>717822115 (OP)
Gamers said NIGGER one too many times.
