And with that, Rockstar just killed 70% of their audience

>game from 2013
>a 10yo kid from 2017 is 18 now
retard.

Age verification will end up being some AI face scan garbage, and kids will just hold their phone up to their single mom who's too busy scrolling TikTok to care what their kid is doing online.

>>717533516 (OP)
lol, get fucked niglets, wiglets, and spiclets.
I hate kids, and low class children should be thrown into the poverty potter's field.

>Rockstar to require ID to play GTA
how to literally destroy your shark card income.

>>717533516 (OP)
never cared about online, never will

>>717533516 (OP)
The game is almost over legal age, who cares about kids that are not even zoomers? Kids that are younger than PS3 and maybe even 4?

>>717533516 (OP)
We going to defend this one too? Like all the censorship taking place lately?

>>717533516 (OP)
>to access online features
so nothing important was lost

I had my dad buy vice city for me when I was young
whats stopping these kids from doing the same just digitally, taking a picture of your parents or their IDs with their consent

Would gaming be better off if 70% of Rockstar's audience was killed?

>>717533679
True, every kid will just figure out a way around it like nothing.

These lawmakers and politicians are a waste of time and and space. They could disappear one day and no one will miss them.

>>717533516 (OP)
Gta vi status?
Dead. Feminists finally won.

>>717533805
Retard. This will affect other online games. And since they've completely lost their mind and are going scorched earth M rated single player games will be hit too.

>>717534287
I hope it hits all matchmaking consoleslop, soon the only games to not have an ID requirement will be PC games with dedicated community servers or community player-run lobbies, stuff like BAR.

>>717533516 (OP)
For what purpose? Kids will just ask their parents to do the verification just like how they bought the games for them.

>>717534642
>shuts down your community for not complying
>nothing personnel goy

>>717535025
Shuts down how?

>>717534287
>since they've completely lost their mind
the game is already a M rated game
we proved we were adults at purchase
maybe shops should stop selling it to kids, how about that

>>717534978
And the parents are just gonna hand over their IDs or go through the face scan humiliation ritual? Plus it screams "DON'T LET YOUR KID PLAY THIS IT'S FOR 18+"

>>717533894
It would speedrun the industry's collapse so probably

>>717535134
It's for England, not for people in the civilized world

>>717535185
Of course, they'd rather give their kids ipads with unrestricted access to the internet rather than doing proper parenting.

>>717535185
>And the parents are just gonna hand over their IDs or go through the face scan humiliation ritual?
Parents these days just want to shut the electronic babysitter in front of their kids so they'll shut up and stay out of sight for as long as possible. Taking a second to do this so they'll stop making noise about it is absolutely something parents will do.

>Plus it screams "DON'T LET YOUR KID PLAY THIS IT'S FOR 18+"
No one has ever given a shit about this. The sooner you get your kid exposed to that stuff the sooner they realize blood, gore, and violence in a game isn't anything special and stop making a big deal about it.

>>717535079
These things don't happen in a vacuum there are always people running forums, d*scords, making patches, it requires organization. Look at Empire Earth 2. Look at WoW. It also limits you to old games, and the rare modern games that allow you to host your own servers

>>717535369
once they see how tightly they have our bollocks locked up though it's coming to your town next
don't think it won't

>>717536014
>It also limits you to old games, and the rare modern games that allow you to host your own servers
Good, modern MP outside of games that let me host my own servers is fucking dogshit.

I'll scream it from the mountaintops again: Valve should add infoboxes to games on Steam that require a Photo ID to access features or Online.

If Rockstar wants to go through with this for GTA etc., there needs to be basic information for consumers on the storepage about it.
The storepage should inform consumers so that they can make a properly informed purchasing decision. Having anything less means starving consumers of information they should know before buying, and as a storefront, it's your obligation to list the requirements for the product you're selling. Just like Minimum Specs and EULAs. Steam already does this for other stuff, so when this goes live, it needs to happen on their end. If not? we need to make a stink.

>>717533516 (OP)
And people still think GTA6 will be fine

>>717536208
So your whole shtick is I don't give a shit I don't play these games anyway? That's just great.

>>717535369
You are fucking blind or a moron. You can blatantly see moves for this online ID shit in a bunch of countries.

>>717536283
>Valve should add infoboxes to games on Steam that require a Photo ID to access features or Online
absolutely
seen your threads about it too
there's just not much else to add to it

it'll probably happen
Valve aren't terrible about this, they've had their patience tested over the last few weeks by a bunch of world governments, but it really is the kind of thing you could probably give as feedback to Valve/Steam themselves and it's not like they wouldn't do it

>>717536484
Yes, I want the fags who destroyed community server-based gaming in favor of matchmaking controlled by the developers entirely to suffer for their stupidity.
Not my fucking problem.

>>717533805
Except the revenue

>>717533516 (OP)
>player count drops to triple figures

Bros, is VI doomded?

>>717533856
You really think the people playing gta grew up even knowing who their dad was?

>>717533516 (OP)
NOOOOOOOO I WAS GOING TO TOTALLY BUY A GTA MADE BY THE RAPED DECOMPOSING CORPSE OF ROCKSTAR GAMES I LOVE NIGGERS

>>717533516 (OP)
That's what you get after years of complaining that teens and children are brain-rotted by content consumption, handed an iPad and raised by unrestrained internet access instead of their oblivious careerist parents.

>>717537848
This has nothing to do with kids.

>>717537940
You missed the point of what I said.

if only 4chan kept people jnder 30 out

>>717535185
Yes?

GTA IV is now 17 years old, so if you were in your diapers when it came out, you're old enough to buy GTA VI when it comes out.

I'm not particularly convinced that 70% of GTA's current playerbase is underaged.

>>717533516 (OP)
Only reason you know about this is because it leaked or someone datamined it, I guarantee you wow and ff14 are also coding systems like this.

>>717533679
It's not about kids bro, it's about the government being able to track what you say in the game and attach it to your rl identity. The days of being anon and getting away with mad shit online are coming to an end.

>>717535369
You don't understand how politicians minds work, once they see they got it to pass and people accepted it every country will do it.

>>717539156
None of the implementations at the moment do that.

>>717533516 (OP)
Good.

>>717533516 (OP)
With all this censorship and exiling "kid-unfriendly" shit going around the internet what is the western world going to do when 30% of the male population who can't get into a relationship also no longer have an outlet? Same problem is happening in China where there's a growing population 10mil men with no prospects who are getting tired of how society is being ran. At least the CCP can just black bag and mulch them into chow meng, what is America going to do?
