Players Can Report Toxic Behavior in Rainbow Six Siege

Toxic

Ubisoft is preparing to police the Rainbow Six: Siege community to keep a good user experience for the players. Even though we don’t know what measures they’ll be taking in the future, we can see a brief glimpse of one. Such as this new function that allows you to report Toxic behavior shown by some players.

This came with a tweet from Justin Kruger, the game’s community developer. He posted a picture last night documenting a “new reporting option on the TTS,” which would allow players to report toxic behavior.

This form of reporting will be going straight to the Ubisoft HQ and will be up for testing in the future. Before this, there wasn’t any sort of report system in place with the exception of reporting cheaters. Now, players will be able to report that one rogue teammate who shows inappropriate behavior.

Kruger goes on to say that “more info will come out later on how this works, but there will not be automatic ban sanctions. So no one will get trolled into a ban.” Any sort of suspicious behavior will be monitored by Rainbow Six Siege’s BattlEye system.

The directive soon showed the code of conduct for Rainbow Six Siege for players to discern what’s off-limits in terms of behavior. The code forbids harassment or bullying other players via verbal or written communications.

It also looks down upon language or content deemed illegal, dangerous, threatening, abusive, obscene, vulgar, defamatory, hateful, racist, sexist, ethnically offensive or constituting harassment. It also has measures against people impersonating Ubisoft employees and verbal or written abuse towards them.

The code of Conduct also has a few more things worth pointing out. Such as the lines regarding usernames, security, and disciplinary policies. If you want to read the full CoC, you can do so right here.

All in all, coupled with the rumor about removing friendly fire from the game, it seems like Rainbow Six Siege is heading towards the right direction when it comes to its community. There’s still a long way to go, but toxic behavior regulation is always a tiring journey that always deserves recognition.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant.  Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.

The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.

Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”

This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.

What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?

It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”

It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.

Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades?  Let us leave that up to you.

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
