Yet another western video game publisher has taken to policing the speech of their players with unprecedented vigor, Ubisoft having implemented a system in Rainbow Six: Siege that immediately bans players who use “racially insensitive” language.
It began when numerous players were claiming to have been banned for using racial slurs and other foul language in-game, with one individual even posting a video demonstrating that the extreme language can lead to a ban within 18 seconds:
Players did not take to kindly to this new and rapid system, with complaints directed towards Rainbow Six: Siege’s Twitter account leading to the developers unveiling their true colors and agenda in policing what people can and can’t say:
According to PC Gamer, the newly implemented system can ban players within seconds of using such harmless words, with the first offense leading to a 30-minute ban, 2nd offense being 24-hours and a 3rd possibly invoking a permanent ban.
Critics online couldn’t help but realize the developer’s intentions are contradictory considering the game itself is rated M and is labeled as having “strong language”, though apparently this first step is part of their initiative toward “battling toxicity” they mentioned in a previous blog post – Ubisoft being what it is, players can doubtless expect to be banned without recourse or human intervention in the near future as the process is hived off to a third rate AI, losing access to all their games in the process.
Gonna be tough not swearing in a competitive game
Nobody is banning your ass for swearing. You may just have to restrain yourself from being a racist prick by not using “n♥♥♥♥r”, that’s all.
the word n♥♥♥♥r was really only introduced to people of my age in the UK in a major way by rappers and rap music. There just aren’t enough black people here to care and we tended to have our own insults spade/jungle bunny for example. In fact, the term wigger was frequently used to mean a white person who wished they were gangster rappers. The reality is it’s only very recently become a big issue in the UK, and for the rest of Europe where they don’t speak English as the main language, it’s probably even less of a word outside of certain hypersensitive circles. I can see why the yanks QQ about it but I still wish you’d change your national language to Latino or some such.
Racist prick = n♥♥♥♥r ?
I guess language evolved into something we never expected
Good. People should be banned simply for giving money to Ubisoft.
>Crying because you can’t say n♥♥♥♥r.
This generation of gamers was a mistake.
Sure Ubisoft is being silly but crying over being unable to use a racial slur is peak manchild.
stfu n♥♥♥♥r
No, it isn’t.
Censoring is not ok, there are no case where it would be ok.
There are ignore, (and language filter) use it….
But it’s good to see that they waste their time on pointless things like banning for chat instead of developing the game. It’s at least a clear red flag to which company’s games should be ignored…
Whenever you think people are overreacting stuff like this comment section proves you wrong and there really is a shockingly large amount of pathetic angry white boys.
Little racist can’t say the n word in an online is peak snowflake. It is hilarious just how much these kids project when they scream cuck, snowflake, soyboy whatever.
Nice racism faggot, And look your throwing out the very same bs you claim to hate REEEETARD era is that way snowflake.
“White boys”? But black players will also be banned for saying “n♥♥♥♥r” too, won’t they? Blacks certainly use the word fairly often.
Yes white boys. The kids angry here that they cannot be openly racist anymore.
Black folks ain’t gonna lose sleep over not being able to say nigga in siege
“Black folks ain’t gonna lose sleep over not being able to say nigga in siege”
Big claim there.
I’d wager that they care about having to watch what they say just as much as anybody else.
Yes, you sissy cuckold whitebois are mad that you can be racist fggts without having to deal with the consequences.
I get that this is an M rated Game.
But there has to be a line that you cannot cross.
i don’t know why some white people love saying the word and fight to say it so much, then they get called out for it and wonder what they did wrong….dumb fucks.
