Does every Ubisoft game promote toxic bs? | Forums

[Grixxit]

Seriously every ubi game I have just promotes poison in PvP.

Rainbow Six: Siege doesn't.
Most words are already filtered there and automatically reported. Say a few words too much and the game is giving you a temp ban instantly.

Still this is for their actual E-Sport game. For Honor and such are not highly E-Sports viable so they just leave it as is.

We have a Code of Conduct in FH, and we take its enforcement seriously. In-game reporting or getting in touch with https://support.ubi.com about specific cases will help us investigate.

Have you fools ever considered that your inane obsession with creating an internet "safe space" in your games and your crusade against "muh toxicity" is actually creating MORE toxicity?


Literally the most good you can and SHOULD do is have an OPTIONAL FILTER (done), and the ability to MUTE VOICE AND TEXT CHAT (done).

Anything more (like bans) is way beyond corporate overreach.

Getting down to the philosophy of it, who the hell is Ubisoft, or any game company for that matter, to assume authority over modifying the behavior and interpersonal communication while online?

We operate under thevassumption that we're all adults, right? If the profanity filter and ability to mute on two levels is entirely opt-in with multiple menu layers and active confirmations, then WHY in the hell does Ubisoft think it necessary or 'Right' to put people in internet time-out from a product they paid for as if they were a stern parent, disappointed in a child's behavior?


The answer is obvious to any thinking person, in that it is not right and Ubi has no business in creating or enforcing bans over something as petty as words. No matter how offputting those words are. If a person can be ignored IRL and using provided menu options, then nothing more is needed. Period.

What a polite and eloquent way to express your hurt feelings.

It's a simple concept to grasp really. Ubisoft owns the amusement park (i.e. software) for which we have payed to enter and go on the rides (i.e. access the game). We do not own the amusement park. We're just the customers using the venue for our entertainment. The owner makes the rules. If you break the rules then the owner gets to tell you to leave and go chill for a couple days.

And honestly, that's way more lenient than if a customer started swearing their head off at another customer in somebody's restaurant or gym for example. The establishment owner would black list that person right on the first offense and tear up their membership. Just because the venue is on the Internet doesn't suddenly make societal rules of behaviour and proper conduct magically not apply.

Not everyone playing an online game is an adult. Kids play video games too. Now as an adult you should be fully capable of understanding the EULA that you accepted in order to install the game as well as being able to face the consequences of your actions, something that kids often struggle with. Break the rules, get punished. Simple cause and effect. A mature and well adjusted adult is capable of understanding the logic of having rules and having punishments for breaking the rules, even if they don't necessarilly agree with the rules.

The answer is obvious to any thinking person, in that it is not right and Ubi has no business in creating or enforcing bans over something as petty as words. No matter how offputting those words are. If a person can be ignored IRL and using provided menu options, then nothing more is needed. Period.

As the legal owner of the software you are using they have all the right in the world to show you the door if you break their code of conduct. The same basic principle as a store owner having the legal right to deny service to a rude/disruptive customer who is bothering the other customers.
