The publisher of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Deep Silver, has introduced a new code of conduct for the game’s Steam forums, emphasizing a zero tolerance policy against discrimination, hate speech, and harmful ideologies. Those who violate these guidelines could face permanent bans.
“We are grateful for the vibrant and passionate discussions that take place here,” developer PLAION_MY4NH stated. Translation: “We appreciate the lively and passionate conversations that occur here.”
The conduct rules encourage respectful dialogue but allow for occasional swearing, as the game is rated M. Users are reminded to stay on topic and avoid political discussions.
Zero Tolerance Policies
- Discrimination: This includes racism, sexism, and homophobia.
- Hate Speech: Endorsing any form of hate speech will result in immediate removal and potential bans.
Though intended to create a welcoming community, the immediate backlash highlights persistent issues in online discourse surrounding the game. Early impressions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 have been largely positive, suggesting that gameplay innovations may resonate well despite the controversies.
