The FTC is now seeking public feedback on the ESRB’s proposal.

Why would they ever need this? No. Absolutely not. The ERSB is solely for informational purposes regarding the age range suggested for the game. They should not be restricting access to games pre or post purchase.
Also, how extremely stupid for anyone with any kind of thyroid or hormone imbalance, let alone the actual effectiveness or more general in-betweens.

Disturbing, and I hate it. No thanks!
Not ok with anything that normalizes giving companies access to my camera feed for basic actions. No matter how well intentioned.
Yeah, digitally carding people when they want to play a game seems like a terrible idea.

At this rate piracy will be the superior option within next few years.
These clowns really think that they can use IP and patent laws to beat people into submission on 100% discretionary entertainment… Cute.

Fuck off with that shit.
You’re a god damn rating board meant to help parents choose what their kids see; not an enforcer of morality for everyone.

The world is really conspiring to give me back my life, huh? Writers and actors guild strikes, video games being locked behind face scanners, websites being locked behind DRM in the browser, and big social media time sinks imploding because speculative venture capital groups stopped drowning them in money. If they’re not careful, I might actually go outisde and touch grass. Or get a hobby. Maybe even talk to another person face to face.

There there. Let’s not overdo it now.

So, let me get this straight. They want to peer into the homes and bedrooms of children all over the world? Gather photographs of them? 😬
And how do they expect this to work on a gaming PC with no camera?
Also, their comment form says not to submit any personally identifiable information, such as your name, and yet it requires you to submit your name, and it says your name will be shown publicly for all to see. To object to a violation of my privacy, I must…allow them to violate my privacy?

If this gets put into effect (it won’t) piracy will skyrocket

Wonder what they’ll do about people who naturally look young, like me who’s always clocked to be 15 years old despite being 23.
- pgetsos ( @pgetsos@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
No way this could ever backfire. Mandatory access to cameras showing kids? Perfectly fine!

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

How about no…

ESRB should be checking for government issues ID on all the games with gambling. That shit has ruined online gaming.
