WARDOGS Beta Sparks Debate on Whether Trash Talk Remains Harmless

Game director Howard Philpott said nearly 500,000 players joined the WARDOGS closed beta. It reached over 105,000 concurrent Steam players and passed 1 million wishlists. The game features 100-player battles on destructible maps. @WardogsINTEL posted that developers unbanned a player for using slurs in voice chat. @EnclaveEmily and others quoted the same claim. Multiple replies criticized the moderation stance and said it attracts unwanted communities.
