Would be dope if the forums had a shout box, aka a chat box somewhere to the side.
With cars, when its a newer model, you normally get all the nice stuff with it.
It was a business decision to not embed voice chat on pc. Today, Most people are used to using their own voice chat system. Ts, mumble, ventrilo, discord, etc. zos was able to save money by not embedding a voice system.
You should probably be glad that they didn't. With their track record of server performance could you imagine what their backend voice servers would be like? Probably constant snap crackle and pop.
