Back 4 Blood Records Your Voice Chat? Nobody thinks this is weird?

The overwhelming consensus is, nope, it's not weird, and can we please have everything record us forever, unrestricted? Someone was being a jerk in a game and that made me sad. I could just mute them, but I'd rather give up my privacy. And everyone else's. Government and hackers don't care what you say I mean lol omg! Then people state that this is (at least in part) to appease the Russian government.

People are also saying that if you're playing it on Xbox and you use Xbox party chat it automatically records party chat even if you're not using the in-game chat. You have to take extra steps to disable that.

And then there's the worthless fucking CRETINS who cheerfully say, "just assume everything is recording you at all times," no doubt with kawaii anime eyes XD. Haha, yeah! Everything is recording every single conversation you'll ever have for life whether you're consciously aware of it or not! What's the big deal?

The mute player button.


This completely sensible response has a negative downvote at the time I posted this.

Ok. Hey women of Caltrops....wait, shit.

At the risk of being a moron, what would recording their voice do if they're making fake accounts to evade bans? Are harassers stating their name and address? HELLO THIS IS STEVE AIRPORT OF FAIRFAX VIRGINIA AND I WANT TO SEE 'DEM TITTIES.

And what does recording in-game voice do if they're harassing someone outside of a game across a separate service?


I don't know, am I being over-sensitive? I mean, I use a variety of text chats and messaging services and those are recorded/logged/buffered at the very least just to maintain history for the end-user, whereas voice has always been transient. Am I now an old grandpa who needs to get with the times, or do these fucking kids these days need their teeth knocked out for casually shrugging their way to dystopia?
