Riot Games announces an update to its Privacy Notice and Terms of Service.
Going forward all voice chat in
VALORANT will be recorded for evaluation
if reports are submitted about disruptive or toxic behavior in voice comms. The
policy allows comm recording in Riot's other games, but the update says there
are no plans at this time to do this for any game other than VALORANT. Word is
to avoid having your voice recorded, you can turn off chat. Here's the summary
of the plan:
We know reducing disruptive behavior is a complex problem
that will require a long-term investment and many different approaches to
address—particularly in terms of voice comms. There’s still work to be done on
this longer journey but we’re committed to providing the social experiences that
players deserve when they play our games. We’re exploring other approaches that
we believe will improve in-game experiences and we’ll share an update about our
plans in the coming months, but we believe that the ability to act on reports of
disruptive voice comms is one of the first steps toward a community where we can
all play together safely.
