The thing with age verification is that I don't think it's a bad thing if done securely, but still it still makes me sad, because Internet will never be the same with it. In the end it will be only few big websites who can afford to care about Internet regulation.
Well, after all maybe it's time to switch to Gemini protocol, they are not going to regulate that!
age verification is just a BS strawman. do you remember when we where young? we would access stuff and find ways to buy stuff. but whenever there was a reasonable but fair gap, it would be much harder to get whatever we wanted: buying weed was so much easier, than buying alcohol (without the appropriate age).
pirating is easy (even i figured it out before having enough money to buy movies & games). so the kids will just pirate that stuff and get their way anyway. age verification at the store makes so much more sense. sure, there are ways to circumvent those. but it is a reasonable stop block.

Don't see how pirating well overcome the online age check.

Maybe I'm dating myself but this is the same company that released state of emergency for the PS2? That game you could literally mow down people in a mall with a mini gun?
They were worried about "the children?" News to me.

Parents will just have their kids play on their accounts. This only hurts the average person who now needs to worry about who has that information and how it's secured.

But Rockstar Games acquired FiveM back in 2023, so I don't see how is that relevant to piracy. In fact even if it wasn't, there was nothing illegal about it as far as I am aware.

I wouldn't be so sure. Modern AAA games are insanely big and resource-intensive. Just look at rdr2
They want money though, they would be selling content instead of shark passes or whatever.

The same parents that allow their children to play these games now will allow them to play then.
This will just make me not want to play these games.

With the reputation most companies have with leaking and breached data, who wouldn't want to have their ssn and license on file with rock star games?!

guess ill be pirating the next one, since there will be no online mode.

If we’re going to government age verification everywhere just get rid of fucking ESRB and content ratings
This is a game made in Scotland, ESRB is a voluntary US based system.
Yes, it’s voluntary and self-imposed by the game industry to avoid exactly this kind of nanny-state bullshit. Ergo, if governments proceed with the bullshit anyway, then there’s no longer a need for the ESRB or PEGI.

Don't forget when they triple killed it by not enabling Proton support.
worse, they disabled it. it worked perfectly on proton then they blocked it off.

Same exact thought.

if you can run a private server, you can get rid of all 'phone home' requirements.
so you just need a cracked copy of the game itself. luckily it is completely legal to remove digital locks on anything you bought in many countries (not the usa though).

Unfortunately, the online component easily becomes a profitable sideline. Sarcastically, it's what keeps some game corporation CEOs afford their lifestyles.
I fucking hate how there is starvation and homelessness in the world, at the same time as there is morons blasting cash away into imaginary online points.

My mum enjoyed the bonus level in the mall where you could just kill like 100 people as fast as you could.
Her favourite weapon is the flamethrower.
Her first reaction to the game was "that's disgusting", but I let her have a go and suddenly she was toasting a whole crowd and loving every minute of it.
