Werent people also using cheap richard nixon masks and getting by too?
I'm leaving the moment it's implemented.
Some options:
Use Steam groups, which has almost all the same core capabilities (voice chat, push to talk, image and other sharing, etc.)
Create a teamspeak server if you have the know-how.
Create or join a TeamSpeak server.
