Life does not operate by your rules, it operates by the rules of the ones in power.
In this case, it is J & L who run the game, and if they decide they do not want to see "racism" or "BAD WORDS" in their game, then let them do something about it. Until then, kindly untwist your panties from the liberal bunch they are in, and suck it up.
I personally enjoy the fucking hell out of the ability to speak my mind, ESPECIALLY when I know cunts like you are crying about it. Just how some people operate. If you (all) collectively bitched less, less people would know your "hot button" issues, and be able to use that as ammunition to hurt you.
I have said numerous times before that I don't care. You can keep pretending I care but I don't. I'm simply stating that you can't look at monetization purely for the positives (money) and ignore the negatives (having to spend money on quality control.) Unless they somehow make a mark somewhere before buying stating 'multiplayer experience may feature racist/derogatory remarks' or whatever creative lawyer shit they can come up with, they might have to cope with people refunding money simply because they are butthurt by shit people said in game.
Or even people refunding just because they want money. And then using the offended argument as a pretext to get their money back.
But hey, by all means, speak your mind to me. I don't care. It's good to see that you have your panties in a bunch and are now actually angry at me for saying that asking money for a product equals getting counter-demands for that product.
There's a reason why even the cesspit of the internet, /b/ (or SA if you are so inclined) has limits on what you can say. Those limits are simply there not because they CARE about what you post, they are there to protect themselves. If child porn gets posted there, or somehow someone links child porn in-game and anyone finds out about it and reports it, it's not the PERSON getting in trouble, it's the game creators (Jorbtar) getting in trouble. Because the ones posting it are nearly untraceable, and the game devs should've implemented measures to stop this.
It's common practice, really. Promoting racism and promoting hatred and violence against specific races (''kill all niggers'') is illegal here so I am very very sure it's illegal in Sweden too. Jorb and Loftar should protect themselves against this. It's probably in their best interest, if you ask me.

What? I'd for sure stop playing if they succumbed to this social justice garbage.
In that case you are stopping for idealistic reasons, not because of the actual measures implemented. I'm not advocating censorship, I'm advocating that they cover their asses in case something does happen. If/how they do that is ofcourse up to them.

they are also "customers" as you say.
Actually this game is free to play. I know that, because I played the tanks counterpart (''World of Tanks'') extensively. Paying them at all is optional. And even if they did pay for anything, it's their right to complain about things.
After that, it is Wargaming's right to choose whether or not to respond to these complaints. It's as simple as that, isn't it.
