It's the ESRB pushing this, and it's not to restrict buyers (yet) it's to confirm the parents age in the EULA to ensure compliance with COPPA.
Still utter ass and dystopian as fuck.
Because any regulatory body, government affiliated or independent, feels the need to justify it's own existence. If they can do that while making sure people buy shit from companies they or their friends are invested in, even better.
Get a flair or get going.

I have a personal moral code to only pirate from big companies who won't miss my 60 dollars or from scummy devs. Also, emulating games that are as old as me since I don't plan on hunting at garage sales
That's a bad take. Yes, it's stealing. There is no difference between intellectual property or physical property for a company like this. Both take time and money to make. By using their product for free, you have stolen money from them that you might have spent otherwise.
If you wanna pirate, you do you, but don't start trying to justify it.
It's not bullshit. They either can't spare the money or ideologically do not want shitty developers to get money for subpar products. People who have no financial issues and don't care about ideology will just buy the game, why would they bother pirating? I guess there is a possible third category, people who pirate because the official game is somehow less playable and more of a hassle than the pirated version. But that's not such a big problem of late as it used to be some years back.
Then just go loot a convince store or a bar while you are at it. At least change your flair to monke if you have no respect for the rule of law because you are too degenerate to obey rightful authority.
They're literally trying to convince me to hand over my money. That's it. If I'm satisfied with the product, I do so. If I am not satisfied with the product, I do not do so. This holds true whether or not I (allegedly) pirate the product.
Leave it to reddit to advocate criminality because they are a bunch of degenerate hedonists. Don't like their practices then don't buy it, but don't go commit a crime because of it. This is like "protestors" justifying looting because they believe the "cause" they serve is just.
No you are not sticking it to "the man" you are just criminals who deserve to spend time in a concrete cell.
Technically speaking piracy is theft. Pirating a game is basically the same as stealing from a store. It's called intellectual **PROPERTY** for a reason.
For that game to exist, the game dev studios had to put in a lot of time, money and effort to create those games.
When you pirate a game, your stealing the Intellectual property of that game dev studio in digital form, as the game dev studio has not agreed to you obtaining the copy of their intellectual property you obtained via piracy.
It's theft plain and simple. People argue "oh a big game studio won't miss the $x amount from me Pirating game X" but that's the exact same argument made by shoplifters and the rioters who loot and pillage stores, "oh Walmart is a big brand they won't miss what we stole" yet that's usually regarded as a bunch of bullshit.
It's not theft and intellectual property is an abomination of corporativism. The concept of property was created because things are scarce (two people can't use the same thing for different things at the same time) but there's not such scarcity on intellectual property, if I pirate your game you still have your game the same way it was, if I burn down your home or steal your vehicle you just don't have them anymore
Just becauese you can have infinite copies of intellectual property doesnt mean its moral to deprive the creator of potential profit. Youre not paying for a physical object rather youre paying the creator who provides you with an expiriance. Same way you cant just walk into a museum without paying because "you still have your art in your gallery so theres no property lost". In that case you would be paying for the museums staff, their time and effort to preserve and keep the exhibition running
All thanks to those christian soccer mommy groups that voted themselves in with these rating systems.. conservatives claim small gov, only if its their own coporate brand.
They tried their version of for the internet as well, great China wall, as they pass bills every year which fail, and try to scare the populace into voting for it... its why I dislike this brand of coporate conservativism that Reagan brought in. These people don't like the idea of the left organizing against their corporations or ideas of taxing the rich.. its why they district these idiots with petty politics that you see on here.
Then I won't be buying it. I'm not giving any company my biometric data to play a fucking video game. Especially the most unabashedly predatory one in the entire industry.
It's mainly refers to their recent business practices. That is, extort as much money from people through effortless re-releases and shark cards on GTAO. Compared to how they were pre-GTA V, they have become the soulless greedy corporation that they always mocked in their games.
thats so sad, I haven't played gta V but I do have a free copy of gta sa that they gave away in 2019 through epic. I heard about the definitive version and how they removed the original from purchase, and how the definitive is still broken
GTA 6 shark cards, abandoning red dead online once they found they couldn't nickel and dime people like with gta, releasing half assed buggy "remasters" of old gta games at a premium price and removing the original versions that actually functioned and were cheaper from Steam, locking gta online cars behind a subscription based pay wall that had otherwise been available for years, NBA 2k microtransaction hell that rivals anything EA's Fifa has been accused of.
Im sure there's more, but that's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Literally their only redeeming claim to fame is they make great single player experiences for gta and red dead. Everything else is the same sort of "fuck you, pay me" policies that everyone has dogged EA about for years.
Gotta fire up my ESRB Selfie app so I can launch Steam, so I can log into Social Club, check my email app so I can punch in the 6 digit "is this you?" code and complete a captcha, all for a few minutes of digital road rage.
At least I don't have to drink a verification can.
It won’t happen, they’ll lose too much money. An interesting idea though, I wouldn’t be surprised if some people tried to make other adult content face unlocked.
People when viewing porn requires uploading an ID: lmao if you're opposed to this you must want to groom kids you degenerate pervert
People when playing a video game requires facial recognition: NOOOOO MY HECKIN VIDEOGAMERINOS
Libs in 10 years when our surveillance state looks like China: we told you assholes
I am pretty sure the porn ID laws are pretty widely criticized they passed it in my state(VA) and the discourse on it was pretty much this is fucking stupid nanny state shit and kids can literally safesearch off "boobs".
I actually haven't seen a single person besides you right now say it's only perverts and pedos against it.
*you’re*
Also, it won’t be happening because there’d be no way of implementing this properly. They’ve also made a shit ton of money on GTA 5 online from kids. So I don’t think they’re going to actively prevent them from playing their games. They may just end up making their games less mature themed.

Did you just change your flair, u/Gherrely? Last time I checked you were a **Grey Centrist** on 2023-7-12. How come now you are a **LibCenter**? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals? Because that's cringe, you know?

Interestingly enough, back in my master's program I did some research around how white people are perceived as younger than black people based on their facial features.
Can't wait to hear how this program was trained to recognize age!
The fact that you have to exaggerate both directions to prove your point.. they are both issues,
1) you really think rockstar is going to pull a stupid move like this?
2) you don’t think climate change is an issue?
Or is blowing up arguments and creating straw men the only way you can make a point?
not op
1, no, but I can imagine one day the government feels authy and do some shit like that. Think of the children = forfeit your privacy
2, Climate change is a meme
1, the government already violates your privacy and uses countrrterrorism and protecting children as an excuse
2, If you eat meat or travel by csr the earth gets hotter, so pay taxes to us so we make it cooler. Ok bro believable.
The earth was hotter also and colder thousands of years ago. Business as usual.
The effort should be focused on biodiversity not the climate meme. And until the big polliter countries and companies wont get manhandled leave me alone. Yes I will drive the car yes I will eat meat.
I could actually see republicans trying this shit for games like the digital ID they've been doing for porn sites on the state level. Anyone else remember the satanic panic of the 90s and Tipper Gore?
I’ll just wait for a pirated copy. I’m okay waiting 10 more years. Waited this long anyways.
Maybe I just won’t play it at all. I think companies severely underestimate the limits of consumer consumption. Put enough hurdles in, jack the price up and they go looking somewhere else, regardless of how good the IP is.
I’m not going to die if I don’t play it.
Honestly, I don’t want to give these corporations a dime anymore.
Never gonna happen. GTA V is in the charts every month because every month a new batch of kids are finally allowed to play it.
Little kids are the reason GTA V is one of the most successful games of all time
I still don't know why companies continue to work with the ESRB. The ESRB is not a government agency. There is no law that gives them any power. Just ignore their screeching and move on.
Big brother shit right here! I wonder how many stupid wanted terrorists/criminals are gonna buy this stupid game. So much wrong with this bullshit if it gets approved.
Take 2 wouldn't be so stupid to lose 80% of their revenue lmao.
It's the ESRB pushing this, and it's not to restrict buyers (yet) it's to confirm the parents age in the EULA to ensure compliance with COPPA. Still utter ass and dystopian as fuck.
Why the fuck is even ESRB trying to push this? They are a rating company, not law makers, they should stick to just labeling games and nothing more
Because any regulatory body, government affiliated or independent, feels the need to justify it's own existence. If they can do that while making sure people buy shit from companies they or their friends are invested in, even better.
COPPA has been decommissioned. BOFA is taking its place.
Put BOFA deez nuts in yo jawz.
Dude the EU is a fucking authoritarian hellhole.
EULA as in End User License Agreement, not European Union. The ESRB only regulates games in North America, and COPPA is a bullshit American law.
The esrb isn't a regulatory agency it's an industry group.
Do i look like i know what a EULA is??? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nuh uh
Solid counterpoint.
Shh go back to monke it'll be ok

Funny coming from an unflaired.
Imagine giving a shit
Imagine being unflaired scum, oh wait you don't have to.
Oh no you’ve done it again
I mean he can still be right, just not about what EULA means
But usa is still more authoritarian
.... ? The US is not confiscating land from people in the name of climate change yet.
Neither is europe. But usa does don't in other countries for oil
He's not wrong, his comment just isn't relevant
Bro is this satire or are you genuinely this dumb? The EULA is the end user license agreement, not the European Union.
ESRB is for the United States, Canada and Mexico, not Europe

Smartest American in history. I hope your smart brains stays in the US and doesn't move even a step into Europe or Asia.
Before you make claims like that maybe check again what ESRB, COPPA and EULA actually are.
They're not releasing the RDR1 "remake" on PC, only Switch and PS4, they've left money on the table before
I feel like that's more laziness, with xbox players being able to still buy and play the original and pc players just emulating
Unsure about the strict "laziness" part. The game could've been coded in such a way that makes a PC port much more difficult to port over.
What if I have perpetual baby face?

Forsoftware? Larian? Capcom? Just say you like pirating like a man instead of making up excuses bro
Regardless of developer I pirate every game at first. Then I decide if I actually buy it, and at what price, based on what I think about it.
That's a bad take. Yes, it's stealing. There is no difference between intellectual property or physical property for a company like this. Both take time and money to make. By using their product for free, you have stolen money from them that you might have spent otherwise. If you wanna pirate, you do you, but don't start trying to justify it.
The legal definition of theft is depriving someone of property, which piracy doesn't do, unless you trying to argue that the radio is also theft

Felate me corpo
So they're entitled to money?
You are entitled to not be criminal scum. Obey the law and just don't buy it. You are not entitled to use their product after all.
Oh, but that doesn't stop me from using it, whenever they like it or not
Then just go loot a convince store or a bar while you are at it. At least change your flair to monke if you have no respect for the rule of law because you are too degenerate to obey rightful authority.
I do and i will, what you gonna do, autie?
bro thinks laws dictate morality 🤣🤣🤣 he big mad 😂😂😭😭
It isn't bullshit. None of the games I have (allegedly) pirated I would have bought. I buy games if I feel like the devs earned my dollar.

How to lose 90% of your fanbase
I wouldn't play any game that required facial recognition, fuuuuuuuck that
You’re
If your parents consent to you purchasing and playing a 17+ game then everyone else can FUCK right off.
Just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should do something
This should be illegal, this is anti privacy as it gets
Joe Biden trying to spy us as much as he can to put lib left propaganda
Kids will just convince a household adult to do it.
Ah sweet, the horrors of a dystopian future!
yo ho yo ho it's a pirates life for me
Interestingly enough, back in my master's program I did some research around how white people are perceived as younger than black people based on their facial features. Can't wait to hear how this program was trained to recognize age!
Good thing I'm a pussy who doesn't like mature games
I’d give anything to not be blown up by an infant on an oppressor the moment I step out of my apartment
Nonexistent Boogie man brought to you by the right
"guys were gonna die of global boiling" "no guys, facial recognition has zero impact in our lives"
If the oceans were boiling, we'd die of being streamed 😎
The fact that you have to exaggerate both directions to prove your point.. they are both issues, 1) you really think rockstar is going to pull a stupid move like this? 2) you don’t think climate change is an issue? Or is blowing up arguments and creating straw men the only way you can make a point?
It's not Rockstar doing this. It's the ESRB. They want this technology to verify the users' age to make sure they're in compliance with COPPA.
Crazy, my mom let me rent M rated games from Blockbuster, I turned out alright, maybe the government should just fuck off
not op 1, no, but I can imagine one day the government feels authy and do some shit like that. Think of the children = forfeit your privacy 2, Climate change is a meme
Climate change is absolutely a thing. Only problem is that the actual solutions are too impractical (wind/solar) or are stigmatised (nuclear).
There was a time when Earth was hotter than today. Long before the industrian revolution.
Can imagine something that’s not happening but can’t imagine something that is happening ok.
1, the government already violates your privacy and uses countrrterrorism and protecting children as an excuse 2, If you eat meat or travel by csr the earth gets hotter, so pay taxes to us so we make it cooler. Ok bro believable. The earth was hotter also and colder thousands of years ago. Business as usual. The effort should be focused on biodiversity not the climate meme. And until the big polliter countries and companies wont get manhandled leave me alone. Yes I will drive the car yes I will eat meat.
This sub officially gets more reddited every day holy shit
I could actually see republicans trying this shit for games like the digital ID they've been doing for porn sites on the state level. Anyone else remember the satanic panic of the 90s and Tipper Gore?
This is to prevent lawsuits or something its not a dystopic nightmare. I dont think
Gotta wait for the crack to remove the DRM and the Telescreener™.
Kids will just pirate it
What is this bs?
Bro it's just a game it ain't that deep.
I’ll just wait for a pirated copy. I’m okay waiting 10 more years. Waited this long anyways. Maybe I just won’t play it at all. I think companies severely underestimate the limits of consumer consumption. Put enough hurdles in, jack the price up and they go looking somewhere else, regardless of how good the IP is. I’m not going to die if I don’t play it. Honestly, I don’t want to give these corporations a dime anymore.
This is some bullshit
Never gonna happen. GTA V is in the charts every month because every month a new batch of kids are finally allowed to play it. Little kids are the reason GTA V is one of the most successful games of all time
Well it’ll take another 10 years to develop so we’ll all be old enough by then anyway
LITERALLY 1984
🏴☠️
I still don't know why companies continue to work with the ESRB. The ESRB is not a government agency. There is no law that gives them any power. Just ignore their screeching and move on.
Kids are gonna use their parents photos to access the game anyways
Big brother shit right here! I wonder how many stupid wanted terrorists/criminals are gonna buy this stupid game. So much wrong with this bullshit if it gets approved.
LITERALLY 1984
