With a recent privacy update, @VALORANT will now be recording in-game voice comms if a player is reported for disruptive behavior or harassment, do you think this is a good thing?

riot is owned by tencent . so yeah ur privacy is not safe at all
If you are using the voice chat like its supposed to like giving your team ingame info you dont have to worry about anything. Its not like you are going to share your personal details to anybody over the voice chat.
Good finally the edgy 16yr old that's just speaking to a girl for the first time won't cost me my match.
Thank you riot.
so now the tier 2 esports trying to break EUs General Data Protection Regulation. omegalol
WTF – Some people should have ended up in a sock!
Yeah valorant big miss there hais been so Many leaks what if they get our voices thats scary
Its gaming. Girls, gays, blacks, whites, mexicans all get harassed. Its kinda how it goes.
Jokes on them Egypt banned voice chat… please do something about it Riot 😭😭
Never trust corporations when it comes to your personal data. More than likely using the toxic thing as the way to get most people on board. Don't forget Riot Games is owned by Tencent a Chinese Company. They will share your personal info with the CCP
You think you have nothing to worry about until every game you get into recognize your name and then report you to troll.
they were shady from the start
How was Jake not cast in the new mortal combat with this hair
And that’s why I’ll never play it again. If we accept things like this we’ll Agreeing to our rights to be stripped. If we allow this we would allow it in any other situation and that’s dangerous
are they recording everything tho even what you arent saying in chat
Why are we becoming so okay with an invasion of privacy these days?
I have nothing to worry about, I'm not using slurs or harassing anyone. But I'm incredibly uncomfortable with these companies recording people. It's just the principle of a right to privacy. We have enough of a problem with this from our phones as it is.
Intrusive it’s a game stop being a pussy and taking everything to the heart they are people you will never see again don’t be a pussy
Discord.
I think it's natural for these high strung esport titles to conjure a little S* F* MF* but there's a need to dial it back a bit on the cyber bullying, trolling, or offending specific groups. I think a positive reinforcement system (eg. OW endorsements system) that rewards the best teamwork is the answer here. Getting recorded feels gross. There's a reason we don't record professional athletes in football, hockey, baseball…..
Yk I respect it for girl gamers but to be fair shit talking is about of gaming's culture sooooo
Just like google, I’m sure they only use our data for our own safety. There’s no way they would use it in any other way. I put my trust in a giant multimillion dollar company completely.
Is time to move on , quit csgo and go for valorant!!!
I don’t like it because I think it will make less people use voice comm for fear of ban, then when you can’t communicate with teammates, your team will do worse and it’s leaning toward pc culture, like where is the line? Like Xbox voice chat days all gone now 🥲 plus people could learn if you give sheet you should be able to take sheet, part of the game IMO but it’s just one opinion
just give us fucking replay mode. stop with this discrete shit. or maybe not bcuz pros and player might actually leave the game when they see how sage eats headshots
So many conspiracy theory in the comments. As if telling your teammate where you last saw jett is valuable data lmao.
why would you worry about you being recorded if you don't spread or support toxicity? seems sketchy for me yall
Classic riot games lmao
I’m black so I hear bs almost every match..
ESEA and Faceit record VC too so I don't see this as that big of a deal as they say they'll only do it IF you get reported
This is what happens when you play chinese spyware.
Doesn't CSGO also do this when you report someone for verbal harassment? Or am I mistaken?
imagine if they did this in cod the game would never be as big as it is now
this feels like a breach of privacy to me. i dont like the idea that they are always recording me. there have to be better ways to clamp down on racism, sexist, etc without recording people.
Imagine if u get reported by a troll and get ur voice comms recorded
Dammit, how can I shout my bank information, social security number and my address ingame now. This is against the law, Riots taking over our privacy 🤬
Okay, I get where your coming from with the, “if you have nothing to worry about then who cares” but that’s just the start to an invasion of privacy. This is not the wave I like to see. I’d rather just mute toxic douche bags than anything
There is a reason ping system exist.
That's good
Ppl were using pubg to plan drug deals and just talk about illegal activity a few years ago
do you get notifyed if you are reported
This is so messed uppppppp, don’t record our voices, it’s absolutely against our privacy as humans, I swear very commonly not in a toxic mood but just Bcs I’m from AUSTRALIA AND WE ALL SWEAR EVERY SENTENCE, So this is absolutely bullshit, this game gives way too much to the Snowflakes, this game is getting worse and worse
Good tired of edgy kids. Ban em. Throw thier accounts in the trash
gj riot finally u gonna lock down these degenerates
F*CK YOU, RIOT!
Out of all the communities this could happen to, I'm glad it was valorant lmao. rolled
Best decision
Well shit, can't use Valorant voice chat, can't use discord,
need to install team speak.
what is this voice chat you speak of never seen it
To be fair, I thought Riot already was recording voice comms. I think it's just a logical thing?
I really don't mind them recording it, it's not like Discord is recording me and my friends sitting in the vc 24/7
All they can hear in my match me getting bullied 30 minute straight
Lol definitely it's being done because of harassment, definitely it's not to steal our data XD
