This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Make games developers more responsible for racism and hate within their games.
Video games developers are not obliged to prevent racism, homophobia, misogyny or any toxic behavior within their games.
More details
This kind of behavior in gaming has become so normal that people just ignore it and dont talk about it but its not acceptable in any other part of life so why should it be allowed in gaming.
Games developers should be taking steps to make sure players using this kind of unacceptable language are prevented from doing so. This should be them actively seeking them out and also taking retrospective action.
Hopefully this will create a better gaming environment for all players.
