For real. No one uses mics or even the text chat in games anymore—and when they do–it’s because they don’t realize that their mic is on, so all you hear is chewing sounds, the keyboard clicking, or the shittiest hip hop in the world at max volume. (Seriously, why is it never good hip hop?)

I miss the days when everyone was playing Valve games and the voice chat would be absolutely alive with the funniest people on planet earth. I miss all the memes, good music, and funny sound clips. TF2 right after the Heavy update (and Left 4 Dead) came out was peak multiplayer gaming. It’s been downhill since.

Same. I use push to talk, I never need to mute (really helps when I’m laughing at an idea from my players that definitely won’t work for reasons my players don’t know yet)

I always forget when I’m muted and when I’m not :(
