    I play a lot of multiplayer games and I find that gaming constantly teaches me that no matter what, it always comes down to the quality of the community.

    Every other aspect of design is a comparatively merely a detail.

      A well designed game plants the seeds for that. E.g. trying to avoid toxicity by removing chat vs supporting community hosted/moderated servers.

        I still hold voip is the worse thing you can add to a game if your goal is to have a good community.

        Its exclusively used to harass basically.

          Have you played Arc Raiders? VoIP there is (generally) a pleasant experience.
