    I reaaally want to hope that gamers will be smart enough to take their anger to the right place: The legislature that pushed these bills. But knowing most of them, the anger is all going to go to Sony.

    Facial Estimation shouldnt be an option. It should be government ID or parents ID thats it.

      More like just a date field that you input manually if there must be an age check. Fuck scanning my ID or my face

        what would that achieve? Every kid would set the ps5 up and put that field as 18

          That’s the point. Why does a video game need anything more than that? Who’s responsibility is it to make sure a gamer is of age or mature enough for a certain game? What arbitrary system is in place to even label a game as needing verification?

          Why would you need to prove anything simply to use the device? Fuck all that.

            Ohh you’re entirely against the concept of age verification. I dont care about that I am just commenting on the age verification method.

              We can’t get any kind of gun registration and safer schools, but you’re ok with this bullshit invasion of privacy? Once they get firearms under control, I’ll be more open to ID verifications. Until then, they’re just blowing smoke up your ass. It’s a facade to get your info under the guise of “safety”. Our politicians can go fuck themselves.

            Because parents want a lazy way to control their childrens access to age restricted content.

    One thing I don’t get why people care is, they already have your face in video form if you’ve been in any video ever on the internet (which I’m positive, the majority of humans have)

    Like fb requiring it. If you’ve ever sent any selfie vid to anyone , they have it already. So why even ask?

      I deleted Facebook over 10 years ago. I’ve worked to remove as much of my true self from the Internet as possible since. I care. I’m not going to voluntarily give that shit up for something as trivial as a video game.

        Sure.

        If you’ve been around the internet or been in public ever, or done anything with media like YouTube videos or sent a video to your friend with your face in it, they have your face in video already. Thats what I’m saying. They already have it.

          Then we’re done. They have it, no need for me to put anything else.

          Also, these companies are already ready to lose your data, that they just had you verify is you, with probably address, cc info, definitely IP. just because your photo is out there doesn’t mean you should willingly out yourself.
