I didn't say it was I'm just arguing against it.

It's fun to argue, I decided to jump in

I just think players should have the option to use voice chat in game (click on a players avatar, ask them to voice chat, they accept/decline). It would be cool to talk to your close friends.

Then again, it would attract too many creepers.

Now, THAT would be cool!

Never see that happen in a 13+ game though. No way to auto-mute obscene people, and I can only imagine how big the storage capacity would need to be. Keeping audiologs from that many players for a reasonable amount of time, could require some serious amount of memory. Not to mention how long it would take for STS to scan audiologs of vague, but maybe serious, reports.

Ow well, but one can dream I guess

Thanks Jay, I mean on my iTouch 4G I do have a "Voice Memo" feature that allows me to record, so I do have a microphone built in. I can use it in general, so there is possibility that we can get this on the iPod. Maybe in a future software update or has Apple denied it?

Up to Apple, not STS, STS has no control over Apple software.

It's one of their selling pit s to get you to upgrade to a newer model; omit things in a previous generation and label them as innovative in the next. Before any of you Apple fanboys go nuts about what I just said, I'm and Apple fanman too with my iPhone 4S, iPod touches, iPod Photo, iPad 1,2, and 3, my iMac,and soon to be MacBook Air (just to name a few :P)

Voice memo is something completely different as compared to voice recognition.

The reason Apple doesn't support voice recognition on older devices is because they lack the hardware and quality microphone to do this properly. I know there are apps that do it just fine with older devices, but Apple makes use of special hardware, only found in newer devices, to make voice recognition as good as they can. Apple wants to ensure the best user experience possible, and older hardware wouldn't be as accurate as newer ones. That's why they decided to only support the latest hardware (iPhone 4S and latest iPad).

The statement above was an official Apple statement, can't remember where I read it though.

So, my iPod Touch 4G does not have the software, not the quality microphone needed even though I can use it to speak into? I guess the whole matter doesn't matter.

Well if you have ever played the game on IOS and I believe Android, the game called Dungeon Hunters (or something?) There's a little microphone button that you can toggle to activate voice chat. I downloaded that game just so I could talk using voice chat to close friends on PL.
