They do have an “Owners” forum (the default is the Non-Owners for those who don’t own the game). I imagine the non-owners forum is there to provide an opportunity for non-owners to ask genuine questions about the game, but that obviously isn’t happening. Maybe you’re right and they should just make it owners only. I don’t know if it would be visible to others though.
The forums are just full of bigotted trolls who want to see the game fail.
It “controversial” because racists and bigots made it that way. There was no controversy about other heist games, there’s no “controversy” about games with all-white characters. But put in a diverse group of character, that steal back what was stolen and suddenly that’s “controversial”.
Sure, I won’t travel to Gaza and say “wow, so many dead people here” and act surprised, but if I stumble upon a dead body on a playground, you betcha it’s at least a little surprising.
Or it becomes a popular trolling target with a cry of “they can’t take us all down” and it gets worse.
No wonder the world consumes 3.5 earths a year. It’s all the fucking yanks ramming food down their gullets.
42 libraries per year is still insane.
For anybody saying “it’s not a problem, just moderate it yourself”, look at Relooted’s steam forum. There are more than 700 threads there and most of them are really not kind. Tell me how you’re going to moderate that.
Just put yourself in the shoes of game publishers or studios that make a game which goes against the grind and gets attacked like Relooted is being attacked. Would you want to employ somebody just to moderate the forums? Should the onus be on the forum owners or should it be on the forum providers (Valve)? Do you think this has no effect on the types of games being released?
I mean, look at this game Tyrone vs Cops 2. Is this OK? What do you think the forum discussions look like. Are they OK? If it’s only devs that should moderate their forums, that means the KKK could make game about water lillies and then have their forums be the meeting ground for white power discussions. They won’t be offended after-all. That’s OK?
The future the oil industry does not want people to know about.
That’s cool. They are USAians, yanks, or seppos to me.
Soon Merz is going to stand up there with a whip, in a full dom suit, shouting that the peons have to work or get lashes.
Now that’s a take on this news. Wow.
His mom is pretty popular.
Is that a new USAian law? Just say gay?
He said it. He did it. Legend.
If this passes, that means they will have voted against taxing the rich but for this dumb shit.
If the Hungarians vote for this fat fuck again, they deserve everything that’s coming for them. Hopefully the EU turns into the European Federation and doesn’t invite Hungary in.
If Hungary doesn’t like the EU so much, just fucking leave and STFU. Nobody’s forcing you to stay. In fact, I don’t know if anybody, besides right-wingers / Pooteen lovers, want Hungary in the EU.
I don’t know why @fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world said “it’s nowhere near discord”. The Element client supports voice and video rooms and certain servers have extensions installed for custom emojis. I don’t know what else Discord does that’s special. “Servers” in Discord are “Spaces” in Matrix. Spaces can have rooms.
The major difference I find are the moderation tools in Matrix. They have to be installed by the server admin and can’t be activated per room by the room admins or mods.
Would this kind of thing be possible with peertube? It has “peer” in the name, but is it really resistant to take downs or unforeseen outages? If peertube instance A is hosting a video and I’m on peertube instance B, trying to watch that video, if instance A goes down, will that video be unaccessible?
