Honestly, I didn’t think I’d be writing something like this.
I’m usually someone who doesn’t let controversy or negativity get under my skin. People complain about meta guns or melee? Sure, but they’re in the game for a reason. You want a level playing field? you're free to ban them. Even Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari won't come close to Norris in a Mclaren.

And we’re adults. Even we find it exhausting and unnecessary. I can’t imagine what kind of impact this has on younger players. The influence this unchecked toxicity has is deeply concerning I cannot comprehend how Non-English Chats are not even barely moderated. I haven’t played PUBG since the COVID days, but back then at least there seemed to be some semblance o...
