The gaming community as a whole is generally a decent group of people, when face to face. Mix a competitive online gaming session with the anonymity the Internet provides and those decent people turn into a mob of racist, swearing, a-holes. A new patent awarded to Microsoft may change this.
Microsoft's patent is for technology that would allow real-time censoring of foul language. Sure we all think that potty mouthed 12 year olds are funny but it seems some parents don't. With MS trying to push the XBOX 360 into the casual market it only makes sense that they would try to clean up the service that they want grandma and little Timmy to use. There isn't any word yet as to whether or not this "service" will be optional and controlled by the parental control options in the dash.
Lets all hope MS will do right by their core audience and go the optional route, would you rather hear the frustrated swearing and name calling of your opponent or a long resounding BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP?
