if Bluehole are going to get into being the judge and jury of unsportsmanlike behaviour, good on them, not enough games do that, and I think their will be more popular for it, even if they have to fight through the noise to actually implement anything. But on the whole, realistically, these cries for 'justice' and endless conversations about specific incidents are hilarious and unrealistic.
Firstly, it's a video game, this isn't reality, peoples lives aren't on the line. It doesn't really matter. If you don't agree with their policies, move to a different game. You got your 50 hours play of the early access already, a bargain already, The only downsides of anything done so far is the tiny possibility that If you are unlucky enough to get fucked over by an unjust ban, you have to deal with not being able to play for a few days.
This isn't some person going to prison for life for a crime they didn't commit. In fact, unlike real life, it's the perfect place to put a stringent, assertive system of punishment for bad behaviour, as it will discourage the bad behaviour without the real lasting consequences of mistakes in judgement. (which there will be, no system of justice is ever close to perfect).
Yes, the streamers can put on a delay to mitigate this, fine, whatever, I'm just tried of the whole PUBG conversation being removed from fun/funny or interesting things, to all this pointless entitled drama about bans that goes absolutely nowhere.
I'm reading words like 'despicable', 'deplorable', 'disgusting', 'money grabbing', full on assaults on PU's character, diatribes about how Bluehole aren't equipped to handle this. They have made a popular game, and will continue to improve and evolve as they see fit. If will either blossom, or fail, and people will move to a different game.
If fans had their way, they game will never have DLC, it will never have a paid cosmetic, if anything the game itself should be free, and anyone who paid for it should be refunded back. Oh and it should still stay in development, we want all these updates and improvements and cosmetics for nothing. Oh and Bluehole are power-tripping pieces of shit for implementing a system of punishment. Oh and this guy is definitely cheating, what the fuck blue hole, sort it out! Oh and Bluehole have to hire a permanent army of PR/moderators/admins/laywers/experts to meticulously go through and analyse each of the concurrent half a million players in games, and make ZERO mistakes in implementing any sort of justice or bans, and do all this for no money, because they ask for any, even if cosmetic, they are just money grabbing pieces of shit and the success has gone to their heads.
This ego-centric notion that somehow fans (and streamers), who hop on a game that happens to be really good, somehow 'own it' and are responsible for it's success, get to dictate terms, feel the right to shit all over it and demand things, and give it terrible reviews on steam, when it's clearly not terrible, and now the developer must bend over and and implement everything they demand, amid a torrent of full on abuse, really annoys me. Everyone wants everything for nothing these days.
Personally, I would just love them to do something about the racism I have to listen to in the matchmaking island. But I understand it's tough to admin, and it takes platforms time to get up to speed with how cretinous certain aspects of the community are.
But if you really want to get outraged, get outraged something reality, lots of things are fucked, least of which is probably the video game world.
