Thank you based Tim Sweeney for curing me of my vidya addiction and encouraging me to do literally anything else with my life
ESRB ruining everything. Why are they like this? Did their mother drop them?
>NOOO KIDS SHOULD SEE EVERYTHING!! TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!!!!
I sincerely believe a 9 years old kid should watch movies like the first Terminator or Robocop, or Total Recall. There is no reason why it should be 18+ content.
>NOOO I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF MY OWN CHILDREN, THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO IT FOR ME!!!
>noo let companies record your face and monitor it 24/7!
Stream your webcam to Ganker 24/7. Now.
What's that? You don't want to? What's wrong, got something to hide?
this "you must be hiding something" mentality is going to happen again someday. all that needs to happen is something bad. 9/11 allowed politicians to pass the patriot act and it's never been rescinded. obama partially ran on rescinding it and he never did.
Post your face right now or you're a pedophile.
Thank god they are tryign to protect virtual kids.
so i have to let some spook organization scan my face any time I want to play a rated M video game?
They want our data. I still won't upload a photo of mine online or make a personal social media account
Let's see. How will they justify such a system's mandatory access to the internet? Think about it. It's a system that's supposed to be able to analyze a person's face in order to determine if they're of sufficient age to access a product. All of the knowledge that a machine needs in order to make that judgment can be saved locally. They would need to make a damn good case for justifying the program having any access to the internet.
Oh. And before even getting into that, they'd need to argue against the entire progressive lobby about the morality of judging a person's inherent characteristics based on what they look like instead of what they identify as. Time to get cancelled, ESRB.
apparently it's for when a minor is playing a game where their information will be used online. they technically need a parent or guardian's consent in order for that to be legal and the way it is now isn't enough for them. sounds way too overreaching to me though, despite all their claims that no pictures would ever be copied or stored.
They want to archive everyone in a database but they'll never get me I don't have a cellphone or social media
I have a hard time believing this will be implemented. It would spike piracy hard.
>how to guarantee less people buy your games with one easy trick
UPDATE: Whistleblower reveals data from software is sold to advertisers and the FBI.
Opinion: Does America Really Have a Need for Whistleblowing Anymore?
>Experts suggest that the vast majority of corporate interests have progressed far enough in the past decade that we needn't waste so much time and invade so much privacy
It's not even just private, look at how open they are about the five eyes programs.
The governments are not your friends or represent you.
>Media treats whistleblower like a criminal and forces him to flee to Russia
One more reason to pirate, I guess
PLEASE support indies they're not all grifters find indies who want to make games and not money and support them SUPPORT THEM FRICKING SUPPORT THEM
>look younger than I am
>skynet locks me out of my vidya
>shave face
>money stolen
bros how do i cope with the fact that privacy will be non-existent within 10 years? my anxiety over it grows every day.
That will be a good excuse to leave the internet for good
Unironically learn to go touch grass, the whole reason they think they can win is because they think we’re Internet addicts
I mean I like doing a lot of stuff outside too, I'm out several times a week being social and I love kayaking and camping, but I like my computer games too. I guess I should get like a backup machine built and start hoarding pirate copies of single player games on my media server so I can go full offline someday if need be.
Honestly you sound better off than me, I’m still struggling with the idea that I’m eventually going to have to leave the Internet when I’m currently the typical Ganker soiboi tech consoomer and I’m only now starting to pick up outdoor hobbies
Helps that my wife is outdoorsy so I’ve been asking to go with her and do things, she just thinks I’m being a good husband and not that I hate the Antichrist so much that I’m willing to go outside to escape it
>No data is stored
Sounds like a load of hooey.
getting caught in a lie like that isn't enough to hurt a large company these days, so bold-faced lying like that isn't a big risk.
If this happens I'm gonna have to figure out how to pipe a video of Rick Astley to my webcam input.
