Q2 Responsible Internet Use: Netiquette
Good Online Manners
In order to make sure your video game has a positive community, you will need to consider how to promote the use of netiquette amongst players.
Netiquette is a word made from two others: interNET (a giant, worldwide network that connects millions of computers, phones, and other devices together) and etiQUETTE (the set of rules for being polite and respectful in a social situation). Netiquette just means having good manners when you are online.
Discussion question to think about as you are playing the video below:
