Game moderation targets fun, not just rules

Game companies moderate differently from social media: social platforms moderate binary rule violations (abuse, slurs, self-harm encouragement) but tolerate within-ToS behavior that adversely affects others' experience, whereas games moderate 'griefing' — anything that adversely affects someone else's sense of fun — because people only play games they enjoy, giving game-design cultures a structurally more positive approach to platform stewardship.
