The Summoning Hour - AFK Segment - Player Conduct, Trash Talk and Esports
from The Summoning Hour · host Joe "Rakaul" Belousek
"I do hope, as an 18 rated game filled with violence, gore, blood, bombs, guns and bullets that counter strike players arent going to start using their in game characters to crouch up and down on dead opponents in the virtual world, that would be a step too far. /s" - Paul "Redeye" Chaloner "All the violence portrayed in the games is fine though to ignore? Teabagging is rapey? The lack of logic and reasoning is astounding." - Scott "SirScoots" Smith I dive into the latest trash fire running around esports on Twitter and relate it back to how I would like to see sportsmanship, game teaching and competitive modes developed and taught in game development and/or league development external to the game. Much like game development, players will always find someway to try and get an advantage. In competitive games it is the mental game since voices and text are usually restricted or extremely limited. So we have to think beyond the context of a single game, a single platform and a single solution.
