|  GAMESEC07: How are you defining and enforcing policies to respond to player misconduct and abusive behavior?  | 
| --- | 
|   | 

 Player misconduct and abusive behaviors can significantly impact the experience of your players. Bad player behavior can drive away legitimate players, leading to decreased player retention, reduced revenue from in-game purchases, and negative reviews that can damage a game's reputation and future sales. 

 Define policies that promote positive actions among your players and determine how you will enforce these policies.
