> The game developers don't have the money to develop exhaustive anti-abuse mechanisms, or to pay a large support staff to sift through reports, so lots of times the best you get is a simple heuristic. And these companies are not financially incentivized to ban bad actors. In fact, they're incentivized to ban _as few as possible_ without damaging the player base.

I can promise you this is not true. Major publishers absolutely try to curb toxic behavior and are heavily invested in doing so.

I’m interested in learning more about this. Obviously this is something I care about and want to be well-read in when presenting a case. I do know in League of Legends that there’s a lot more care and attention put into it, and frankly I suspect that it’s because they have the money to do so and because they care deeply about the game still being relevant in 1 & 2 decades from now. The same can be said of Fortnite, possibly because of their closer integration with app stores as well and the sensitivity of having a younger audience.

Anecdotally, I think it can’t be said of Rocket League at all. It seems strongly to be profit-driven and moderation-light, and I think most games that size and smaller are operating the same way.

I’d love to hear where/why I’m wrong and what public information there is on the subject.

Rocket League has been declining since Epic Games bought them.
