Video Game Ban Rules

Summary

Video game companies in the US can enforce language rules through their Terms of Service, even if the game itself contains offensive language. Despite characters using explicit language, players must adhere to these rules. Violating them can result in bans. Freedom of speech does not apply in the same way on private platforms. If you believe a ban is unjust, consult a legal expert. Always review the games Terms of Service for specific guidelines.

United States
In the US, video game companies have the right to regulate language use in their games. It's common to see clauses in their Terms of Service that prohibit offensive language, even if the game itself contains such language. Please verify the game's Terms of Service to better understand their policies.
But the characters cuss their self
While it might seem contradictory, game developers often include language restrictions in their user agreements to maintain a respectful community. Despite characters using explicit language, players may still be held to these standards. Always review the Terms of Service for clarity.
I don't think it's right I got * other players that I play with say if the characters in the game can cost and we should be able to cuss too the freedom of speech as long as you're not if any nobody
Your viewpoint is understandable. However, freedom of speech has its limits in private online platforms, such as games. They can set their own rules. If these are violated, they have the right to ban users. Please check the game's Terms of Service.
It's not right we should have the same right as if it was real since they want to put political into the gaming
I understand your frustration. However, game developers can establish their own rules within their platforms, including political content or language restrictions. They aren't bound by the same free speech principles as governments. Violating these rules can lead to penalties such as bans. Always review the game's Terms of Service.
It says horse language
To clarify, by "horse language" do you mean there's specific language or terms used within the game that you're being penalized for using? Knowing the exact game would also be helpful.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare *
The rules for "Call of Duty Modern Warfare *" prohibit any language that might be considered offensive, regardless of its presence in the game. Please review their Terms of Service for more detail.
Yeah but cussing shouldn't have been nobody as long as you're not talking to anyone like hit markers you say damn and boom you automatically get banned I don't understand it neither does * other people I play with I got everybody meet us there for my teammates that I play with it I'm friends with and I still get banned
I understand your frustration. However, the Terms of Service for "Call of Duty Modern Warfare *" clearly state that the use of offensive language can lead to a ban. This is upheld even if you're not directly addressing anyone.
They do too
I understand your concern. Did you try to reach out to the game developers or the customer support team? They might be able to provide more context on the ban and potentially reconsider if it was unjust.
There's no way of protesting it they don't give me an option
I understand your frustration. However, game developers often have the final say on bans. You could seek legal advice if you believe your ban was unjust, but it's often challenging to dispute these decisions.
I like I said I can be in a party chat on PlayStation Network and I still get banned for nothing don't say nothing and party or game chat and I'm in a party chat on Playstation itself and get banned I don't understand and there's no way you can protest it on Modern Warfare * cuz I don't write back or nothing I got like I said I got * people ready to go
Could you clarify if your ban is from PlayStation Network or from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare * specifically? This would help in understanding your situation better.
