I can’t count the times that I’ve loaded into a match in a game where I’m the only one with a mic. Now I understand if you’re grinding away on your newest “impregnable” base in Conan Exiles or you’re plowing a path through Draugr with your Leviathan Axe, maybe you don’t need to use a mic. Maybe the sound of your own voice would unsettle you as you delve into the gaming world.
But if you’re playing a team-based game, and communication is crucial, why must you make the rest of us suffer? Your silence is ensuring my demise, and I’m so tired of dying because of it. You’ve spent who knows how much on your console and the games you play. You can’t throw me a bone and spend a little more for a headset?
I want to talk to you! Humans are social creatures. You should want to talk to me, too. I’m not asking for you to use next month’s rent. You don’t have to have the latest Turtle Beach headphones. You don’t have to have an elaborate setup. The only thing I want to know is if the player who killed you is flanking around behind me. Sharing is caring. Show me some love and spring for a mic. Your teammates will thank you!
