You're right, sorry the mob disagrees with you. Down voters have no idea how hard a "simple" task like implement a chat box can be from a dev perspective, ESPECIALLY after the game has already been built. But no, it seems like a simple concept so it must be literally free to design, implement, localize, refactor existing code, add extra security (because letting someone type into your application from a new front end point is a HUGE security vulnerability) test, qa, bug fix, update, and maintain it.

I mean, I still think the devs should have built in a text chat feature, it's a PC game, but don't make it out to be a trivial task because I promise it's not, especially not for a big game like this.
