West Palm Beach, Florida — Gaming Brethren Advocates Federation & Society, leading nonprofit dedicated to gamer advocacy, voices strong opposition to recent policies enacted by video game publishers that impose severe restrictions on player feedback and criticism. These measures, which include punitive actions such as account termination, service denial, and potential legal threats under the guise of combating harassment, pose a serious risk to fair and constructive discourse within the gaming community.
While safeguarding employees from legitimate harassment is essential, these policies blur the line between protecting staff and suppressing valid consumer criticism. Vague and overly broad definitions of "harassment" create an environment ripe for abuse, enabling publishers to silence dissenting voices and stifle accountability.

Protecting Free Expression in the Gaming ecosystem, which thrives on community interaction, feedback, and the free exchange of ideas is indispensible. Suppressing criticism undermines trust between publishers and players, damaging the industry's integrity and long-term success. Gamers deserve the right to voice concerns about game quality, business practices, and artistic considerations without fear of retaliation.
GBAMFS calls on publishers to adopt transparent, balanced policies that distinguish between harmful behavior and legitimate critique. We urge industry leaders to engage with the community, implement fair feedback channels, and commit to fostering a safe yet open gaming environment.
We also encourage gamers, developers, and stakeholders to join us in advocating for responsible practices that uphold both player rights and employee well-being. Together, we can build a more inclusive and accountable gaming industry.
