    Piss off. This just means they won’t be able to rely on companies to control what people get to say.

      They mentioned the early days when it comes to licensing games to us.

      But dont mention that in the early days of multiplayer games it was us moderating our own online communities, not the company selling the game.

      Official moderation is often worse than in community forums, lol. Overbearing in censored words, while not being active enough against abusive players.

      That argument is absolute bullshit.

      It’s not like anybody demands Microsoft must protect you from mean words if you connect Outlook to some random mail server. Games are no different.
