Can’t Pause Online Games
Cordova, TN; June 4, in the year of our Lord 2018 --
Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the
family friendly video games is explaining one of the reasons we
are not so big on online video games. There are a variety of
different issues, and problems with online video games. I have
had bad experience with mean, hateful, foul mouthed, nasty,
discriminators of Christians, and more while playing online
gaming. The one religious belief that is allowed to monopolize
these online games is atheism. That one belief set is promoted
above all others in most of the online gaming experiences I have
had. Not going to get into that in this article. Instead this
article is about the issue of not being able to pause online
video games. Why is that?
I know what some of ya’ll are thinking. It would be unfair to
allow someone to pause an online game? Why is that exactly? How
often does someone kill someone else afk (away from keyboard)?
It is an easy kill. The person who is afk should go into a ghost
mode where they cannot move, be attacked, or have other players
interact with them. Plenty of people have been killed because of
Internet connection, and speed issues. It looks like they are
afk, but in reality they are lagging. They should be in this
ghost mode as well. It would be fair. That way certain people
are not buying victory with better gear, and connections. We all
have real life that comes along. We can pause normal games. Why
is this feature missing in online video games?
I know some people believe a pause would be abused. Certainly
spiteful people who are about to die could pause to avoid death.
The pause feature in an online game should have a limit. Say
five minutes. Maybe only allow it if they are not currently
being attacked or firing their weapon. If there are no current
engagements going on in an online video game then pausing should
be just fine. This is my idea, and my concept. What do you
think? What problems do you see with allowing players the pause
function in online games? Would you use a pause feature in an
online game? Would be wait for a paused player to come back and
immediately take them out? Where do you stand on the issue of
not being able to pause in online games?
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
