In some games, they’re public by default then you should make them private. I’m thinking of Dying Light for example

I don’t mind joining random games, but this type of shit happens way too often. Frickin lock your game lobby if you’re not interested in playing with random people…

After an update and having been a while since I played it, I was running a nice solo session of 7 Days To Die and get some wierd message.
Turned out the thing defaults to public server with no password no nothing, somebody logged in and blew up my base when I was away from it. They kept trying to chat to me afterwards - can only guess they wanted to gloat, and didn’t see the point of enhancing their experience by giving them them that - but I just stopped the game, searched around, found that the thing defaulted to online public and switched it off.
Handled the whole thing like some kind of challenge the game had throw nmy way (one of the core game mechanics is that every 7 ways the game throws a massive monster attack at you) so I had to rebuilt the base just in time for the next attack, which I succeeded in doing, so ultimatelly I turned that person’s griefing into fun for me.
Anyways, wtf stupid decision from the gamedevs was that to silently default a game which is just fine solo offline, to public online. Have those people never played anything online and have no concept of griefing?!

Damn, didn’t know that was a thing, I’ll check if that’s also the case for me

After quite a break from HD2 I’ve returned to try a game vs Illuminati. I’ve always played private lobby, but this time settings were reset and I forgot to check this specific one. Ended up in a game with random people which wasn’t my plan.

iirc deep rock galactic specifically lets you kick people with the message “oops, this was meant to be a private lobby”, which is quite funny

For how easy kicking is in DRG i found it to be used extremely rarely. One of the most chill game communities imo.

as long as you complete the mission in a timely manner im chill.
exclusions apply for sitting and pointing at a particularly shiny piece of gold or screaming “ROCK AND STONE!!” at eachother for no reason

What a fucking taskmaster! What’s next, we aren’t allowed to practice headshots on our teammates during missions?! Let us LIVE, man! 😛
