There are plenty of multiplayer games I adore. However, it seems like every community has these "brain dead", patronizing, or out right toxic elements that are just nasty. I'd rather debate politics than make suggestions in some gaming communities because the responses are just so ... annoying.
As an example, I once dared to suggest that a game developer implement a mode to prevent crouched status from rendering on death cams so that players that are bothered by t-bagging could avoid it (after a match where a friend rage quit because someone just kept head shotting him -- possibly with cheats -- and then t-bagging). This post got tons of hate, and like -50 upvotes on reddit because of course someone should be forced to watch someone t-bag them.
Another example on a official game forum... I made a forum post suggesting Bungie use Mastodon (or really just something else being my intent)... The response I got was some positivity but mostly just "lol nobody uses that sweetie" and other patronizing comments.
Meanwhile studios themselves often seem to be filled with developers that understand this stuff is a problem, and the lack of sportsmanship (or generally civilized attitudes) does push away players. It just doesn't make sense to me that no studio is saying "get lost" to these elements or implementing anti-toxicity features. I just want to play games with nice normal people, is that really so much to ask?
The thing to do would be to "shadowban" the worst offenders and make it so they only get matched with other shadowbanned users. I think there's a game that already does this. At that point, they can just enjoy playing "to put it simply the psychological warfare is part of the game " against each other. Now, my theory is that this "psychological warfare" is only fun when you're the only one doing it and other people are trying to be reasonable. When it's 10 people screaming constantly over voice chat, griefing and generally being terrible, I suspect the "psychological warfare" becomes way less fun.
EDIT: I just looked it up, DOTA 2 does this.
