I thought that too about planning with the map w/o using VC. That's a big plus for me, if I can help whip up a game plan first thing or go along with one and then respond to other people's calls I'm set, I love playing PUGs without a mic personally. I'm a parent but even before this kid came along I always lived with people and it's just easier to share a space without being on a mic, but I'm happy to listen to people who are on.
PS5's built-in mics have been great for me for PUGameplay tbh. In supported games like Helldivers 2, I can keep it off until I hear someone talking and then join in. I like the option of VC being freely available to male tactical choices about, but 99% of the time I'm good just using pings and paying attention.
Edited to add, what are the concerns with Unity? I know it's unpopular but that's about it
Yeah VC is not for everyone. When i play with women in my party, its sadly still a nightmare in many games as soon as they start using their mic.
its a typo i know but i chuckled at it anyways :D
