Everyone is righteously mad at this, but I’m just here thinking how funny and sad it would be to decide to shave and have the game refuse to boot because you have a baby face
I feel like the sci-fi trope of an ai that chews through everything in its way to achieve a single goal with no consideration for complexity or other factors isn’t sci-fi, but it also isn’t the ai that’s doing it. There are groups like the ESRB who simply want to reduce their job to a single goal with no consideration for complexity or other factors likely these children’s privacy (which should be one of ESRB’s goals, arguably).
Just like in those stories, these groups are chewing through other aspects of life that are absolutely significant in order to optimize a single metric to the exclusion of all else.

I just wrote a rant about exactly this phenomenon. Literally insane greed, and a sort of simple-minded myopic focus on setting goals based on easily understandable metrics that are ultimately based on wildly questionable premises (and might actually be counter to what the people at the top think they want to achieve) are why literally everything is going to shit.

Ruining everyone’s experience to solve a non-issue. Cool, cool.
I’d rather be ID’ed at the point-of-sale than this absolute horseshit.
No, you don’t get to have a million scans of my face in perpetuity. Fuck all the way off.
They could to do that…
OR
They could let parents make their own decisions on what our children play and fuck off.
Said as much the first time I saw this. ESRB is really overstepping their bounds with this BS.
This seems like an excellent way to get normal people interested in spoofing facial recognition.
This is a gross overreach. Just stop.

I think the best solution is to sell monster energy drinks that the players would have to chug to prove they’re real gamers.
+1 for best new gamer verification method!!
